A member asked:
What does "inhibitory volition" = adhd?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarily: Irresistable impulse may be an impulse not resisted. There are degrees of both volition and inhibition they are not equal or the same.

Mouthful: The inability to inhibit a prepotent behavior is one of the deficits in executive function that occur in many patients with adhd. A child with this needs behavioral therapy along with medication. His medicine is like " eyeglasses for his brain." it helps him focus & think about the consequences of his actions, but it doesn't teach him what is okay to do. " pills don't teach skills." therapists do.
