Explanation

ADHD is caused by a problem with the neurons in the frontal lobe of your brain. The full name of ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

'Deficit' means short, and 'hyper' means high; so, if you have ADHD you have a short attention span and you are highly active. It starts when you have trouble paying attention, and you just can't sit still.
