Hi there.

I believe ADHD is more of a psychologic developmental condition though an organic neurologic cause (something anatomical) can also be considered.  The good news is, both of these conditions: absence seizure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, may be outgrown by the time the child reaches puberty to early adulthood.  For now, medications should control the symptoms and psychosocial support can tame the manifestations of adhd as well.  Regards and God bless...
