From the Paper:

"Before examining the benefits of Adderall, it is useful to understand a little bit of the condition called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), for which Adderall is prescribed, and therefore how it functions. ADHD refers to a family of related chronic neurobiological disorders that interfere with an individual's capacity to regulate activity level (hyperactivity), inhibit behavior (impulsivity), and attend to tasks (inattention) in developmentally appropriate ways. The core symptoms of ADHD include an inability to sustain attention and concentration, developmentally inappropriate levels of activity, distractibility, and impulsivity. Children with ADHD experience inability to sit still and pay attention in class and so suffer social and academic consequences."
