It is only paradoxical if we play a bit of word magic with 'stimulating'
In fact ADHD is a condition in which motion activity driven by
noradrenaline is very high, but planning activity driven by
dopamine is low. DOPAMINE-RAISING drugs such as Ritalin
restore the balance by raising planning activity and
concentration to overcome the high physical activity.
