It is important to note that the ADHD patient does actually decide to do a thing, but is unable to enact the decision! (Usually, complex decision making is postponed as well, because its initiation requires itself a decision that fails to be enacted.)

Incidentally, is the primary mode of treating ADHD a change neurochemical modulation that increases the penetration (or perhaps even separability) of neural control signals (anticipated reward) in the neocortex?

The inability to act on one's decisions leads to a frustration of anticipated reward, until no more reward is anticipated and the individual becomes depressed. The depression (and underlying ADHD problem) may not manifest in an environment where decisions are hedonically driven.

It should also be noted that ADHD people feel little or no reward for accomplishing a task, so deciding NOT to do a task is often equally or more rewarding than deciding to do it.

Hey James could you clarify this? I don't understand why deciding not to do a task would be more rewarding than deciding to do it.

These nested 'wants', of wanting to want, can be nested as deeply as an individual is capable
