No. ADHD is a disorder that causes frequent lack of focus, irritability, periods of depression, hyperactivity, and problems socializing. Individuals diagnosed with ADHD often lead normal lives. It is estimated that 1/3 of children will grow out of it, while others will carry it into adulthood. There is no real evidence to suggest that it has an impact on overall life expectancy.
Some ADHD medications cause higher heart rates and blood pressure, and will need to be monitored closely. ADHD, by nature, is a stressful disorder that can cause a great deal of anxiety and agitation to sufferers. Therapy to teach coping mechanisms is often employed, as well as other therapeutic techniques.

The severity of ADHD is determined by analyzing the amount symptoms they possess, and how these various symptoms interact to create problems in a person's daily day-to-day functioning.

A person with some forgetfulness but who could still maintain healthy relationships and a job would be considered to have a mild case of ADHD.

whatever job one wants to do. People with ADHD tend to have exceedingly high IQs and are very creative.

An importance based nervous system means that if the work a person has to do is "important" to the person, the person's family member, teacher, etc. the person can do it and do it well. An Interest nrvs systm requires tht it be 1. interesting 2. challenging 3. urgent or 4. novel.
