" If you think of ADD as a basic problem with inhibition, it helps explain how ADD people get angry quicker. They don’t inhibit their impulses as well as other people. They lack the little pause between impulse and action that allows most people to be able to stop and think. Treatment helps with that but it doesn’t cure it completely. "
