Gary Brecka argues ADHD isn't a deficit of attention but an overload. Your mind generates thoughts faster than it can break them down, creating a racing, clouded state. Amphetamines speed up your central nervous system to match that pace.

Attention deficit disorder is not an attention deficit at all. It is actually an attention overload disorder. It is too many windows open at the same time. So in the human mind, we don't just create thought, we also break thought down. We actually dismantle thought. And if you create thought at a faster rate than you break thought down, then the mind gets very clouded. If the mind is racing, then let's take the central nervous system, let's speed it up to match the pace of the mind. And so we created amphetamines to do this. That's what modern medicine says. There is nothing wrong with you. The body has an impaired ability to break down the neurotransmitters of thought.
