ADHD and Paranormal Experiences: No Scientific Link
There is no empirical evidence linking ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) to paranormal perception (seeing spirits, ghosts, etc.). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by:
- Inattention
- Hyperactivity
- Impulsivity
These symptoms stem from dopaminergic/noradrenergic dysregulation in prefrontal-striatal circuits. Claims of supernatural abilities are anecdotal, not supported by controlled research. Co-occurring conditions (sleep disorders, anxiety) may cause vivid hypnagogic/hypnopompic experiences, but these are neurobiological, not paranormal.
