The immediate cause of ADD is inadequate glucose uptake to the frontal lobe. This is the part of the brain that controls executive function, and ADD is directly a result of this.
There may be more than one cause for the glucose uptake issue. If it was simply norphineprine or dopamine, than a reuptake inhibitor could be devised, and the problem would be solved for a huge number of people who suffer from ADD.
There is still a lot being learned, and time will tell.
