The part of the brain responsible for concentration is under stimulated in people with add/adhd. This makes it seem as though they are over stimulated but we just can’t pay attention because that part of the brain don’t work so well. When we take a stimulant, for me Adderall, it speeds up that part of the brain bringing us closer to normal to paying attention. People that already have a normal working brain that add stimulates now have an over stimulation causing them to look like tweakers.
