Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain and results in a variety of inappropriate and maladaptive behaviors. ADHD is not a disease (Kajander 1995) but is a processing deficit that results in children having difficulty with inhibitory control. That is, children with ADHD lack self-control, something they cannot help. In children with ADHD, the parts of the brain that control attention and stop inappropriate behavior are underdeveloped (Barkley 1996; Kajander 1995). ADHD occurs three times more frequently in male students than female students (Reeve et al. 1995) and commonly occurs with other disorders. For example, ADHD occurs in 20 percent to 50 percent of the students with learning disabilities, in 65 percent of the students with oppositional defiant disorder, and in 20 percent to 30 percent of the students with conduct disorder (Reeve et al. 1995; Barkley 1990).

ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)
Introduction.
Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder most commonly diagnosed in children. The average age for diagnosis is seven, while adults can also develop symptoms of it (Holland, 2013). It is a globally recognized neurological dysfunction, which the person has trouble inhibiting unfortunate. It is commonly genetic. The crucial or the core features are the hyperactivity or compulsiveness. To validate the diagnosis of ADHD, the person must have more than one of the symptoms which should be present and cause difficulty to his or her life. The important factor of understanding individuals with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is often found together with other symptoms which repeats itself rather than only one condition. Treatment of the symptoms of ADHD involves the use of medication, psychotherapy (behavioral treatment), or a combination of the two. ADHD is a behavioral problem, not a medical one, and as such medication should not be used in the treatment of ADHD.
History of ADHD
ADHD was first mentioned by a British a pediatrician, Sir George Still in early 1900s, who described it is an abnormal defect of moral control in children. He found that a mentally disabled children could not function as well as a healthy kids, but were still intelligent (Holland, 2013).He believed it was a medical issue not spiritual. The American Psychological Association issued the first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1952. This
included a list of all the known mental disorders, causes, risk factors, and treatments for each condition. The history of ADHD wasn’t known until the 20th century which American physicians started to classify it as “mentally deficient” individuals who had difficulty focusing on a specific task. In 1980 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) change the name of the disorder (ADD).Scientist believe that hyperactivity was not a symptom of the disorder, which created two subtypes of AD: ADD with or without hyperactivity.(Holland 2013). In 1987 the APA published a revised version of the third edition of DSM, and changed the name to ADHD. There are three predominate categories of ADHD. One subtype describes those who are predominantly hyperactive and impulsive.
The second category includes those who are predominantly inattentive. This subtype includes symptoms that are considered hyperactivity or impulsivity. The third major category of ADHD and the most common one which combines hyperactivity and impulsive behavior with being inattentive.
` On the other hand, ADHD can carry on into adulthood, thus logically there is a high possibility, that adults can have the same pattern of symptoms dating back to their childhood.(pg 10)book. History of the adults having ADHD see ...
