What ADHD Looks Like Inside the Brain 🧠

Where does it come from ADHD? Well, it’s genetic. It’s clearly genetic. I mean, if I don’t see it in someone’s family, I think head trauma. And with you, I think that’s possible because of soccer, except you see it in your family. Is it a defect or is it a difference? It’s a difference. If I chose to take a drug, was it like you called it ritin? You called one of the So, rolin would be one of the options. What exactly would it do under brain scanning to my brain? So if I scanned my brain and took the drug, what would you see in my brain? Well, I can tell you it would activate your cerebellum. Okay. The bit that was a bit sleepy. It was a bit sleepy. And it would activate your prefrontal cortex and it would give your brain better energy.

🧠 What does ADHD actually look like inside the brain? In this clip from Diary Of A CEO, Dr. Daniel Amen breaks down the real neuroscience behind ADHD — from genetics, brain scans, head trauma, and the differences between an ADHD brain and a neurotypical one.

In this short, Dr. Amen explains how ADHD can run in families, why the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex can appear “sleepy,” and what medications like Ritalin actually do inside the brain. If you’ve ever wondered about the real cause of ADHD, how it shows up in brain imaging, or why some people are born with it while others develop symptoms later, this clip gives a clear, science-backed explanation.
