No, people with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) do not have naturally dilated pupils as a direct symptom of the disorder. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. It does not typically cause changes in pupil size.
Pupil dilation, also known as mydriasis, can be caused by various factors, including changes in lighting conditions, emotional arousal, drug use, certain medications, and certain medical conditions. While some medications used to treat ADHD (such as stimulant medications) might have an impact on pupil size as a side effect, this is not a characteristic feature of ADHD itself.
If someone with ADHD experiences changes in pupil size, it is more likely to be related to other factors rather than the ADHD itself. If you or someone you know is experiencing abnormal or concerning changes in pupil size, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
