7. Physical Differences
The last trait on our list is one that you are likely not aware of. According to RT.com, a study was conducted using brain imagery that found that “suspected ADHD sufferers have an overall smaller brain size.” This included the amygdala, which serves the purpose of emotional regulation. Although this difference is minimal, it was noticeable.
Moreover, other scientific evidence has shown that some ADHD medication might be affecting the bone density of users. This can have detrimental effects on child development. Further research is necessary to examine this relationship but according to ScienceDaily, “research suggests that children and adolescents who use stimulant medications may need monitoring of their bone health during and after stimulant treatment.”
