ADHD attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, which can be a chronic condition associated with hyperactivity, forgetfulness, distractibility and poor control. This condition is mostly seen in children but can continue into adulthood. 

Symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency may include fatigue, skin problems, immune weakness, gastrointestinal disorders, heart and circulatory problems, growth retardation, and sterility (Belzung et al., 1998). In addition to these symptom conditions, a lack of dietary essential fatty acids has been implicated in the development or aggravation of breast cancer, prostate cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, preeclampsia, depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). The list is neither exhaustive nor conclusive.
