ADHD is an acronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which is a condition characterized by difficulty controlling behaviors across different settings. While it was once thought to be caused by poor parenting or something people would outgrow, research now shows ADHD is a biological brain-based disorder affecting around 80% of children diagnosed as adolescents and over 60% of adults. There are three main types - hyperactive-impulsive, inattentive, and combined - and it is diagnosed through evaluations by doctors, teachers, counselors, and parents rather than medical tests. The exact causes are unknown but likely involve genetic factors and imbalances in neurotransmitters in the brain. Treatment options include stimulant medications as

ADHD And Addiction (Rue, 2001)
The document discusses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment with medication, and relationship to addiction. It notes that ADHD is a neurologically-based developmental disorder characterized by inattention, impulsivity and deficient rule-following. Stimulant medications are commonly prescribed and can help manage symptoms when taken as directed, though they also have potential side effects. The document emphasizes treating the whole person and that ADHD should not be presumed but carefully evaluated and diagnosed.
Adhd does not exist
The document argues that ADHD is often misdiagnosed and that many behaviors attributed to ADHD could have other causes like vision or hearing problems, sleep disturbances, learning disabilities, mood disorders, medical conditions, or dysfunctional family dynamics. The author suggests that lack of limits, low parental involvement, and poor education at home make children more prone to an ADHD diagnosis. The criteria for an ADHD diagnosis have been lowered, risking an "epidemic" of students being prescribed medications unnecessarily when alternative explanations or interventions could help address their behaviors.

ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders characterized by difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and environmental factors likely play a role. ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed health professional considering behaviors, development, and environment over several months. Effective treatments include medications and psychotherapy to help manage symptoms.
Ad dand adhd
ADD and ADHD are disorders that make it difficult to control behavior and learn at a normal pace from a young age into adulthood. They are caused by differences in brain structure and chemical levels that affect attention, self-control, and behavior. Studies have shown that children with ADHD reach peak brain development three years later than children without ADHD, though both have healthy development overall. Treatment options aim to reduce symptoms through stimulant medications, behavioral therapies, and support groups.
IMFAR 2014-ADHD Measures for ASD FINAL
The document summarizes a review of measures used to assess Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It finds that while several measures have been used, many common ADHD measures have not been validated for use with ASD populations. It highlights the need to distinguish between overlapping symptoms of ASD and ADHD to properly diagnose and treat comorbid cases. Several measures are described and compared in terms of their domains assessed, psychometric properties, and advantages and disadvantages for assessing ADHD in children with ASD.
Adhd and the brain
This document discusses Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the brain. It explains that ADHD is caused by issues with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that begin in childhood. Genetics play a large role, as approximately one-third of parents with ADHD have a child with the disorder. The brain structures affected include the prefrontal cortex, striatum, basal ganglia, and cerebellum, which relate to behavioral regulation, movement, and thought processes. ADHD is linked to abnormal dopamine functioning and regulation. Stimulant medications are effective for ADHD because they increase dopamine levels in the brain, especially the frontal lobe where dopamine receptors are located.

ADHD
The document provides an overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including its definition, clinical presentation, diagnosis criteria according to DSM-V, epidemiology, common comorbidities, prognosis, and management approaches. ADHD is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects about 5-8% of children and 2.5% of adults worldwide, and diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, impairment, age of onset, and ruling out alternative causes according to DSM-V criteria. Management involves behavioral interventions, stimulant medications, and other pharmacological and non-pharmacological options.
Social Media and ADHD – Turning Distractions Into Directions
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD.) In today’s hyper-connected internet and Social age, many of us are showing increasing symptoms of “Virtual ADD:” easily distracted, expected to multi-task more than ever before, and experiencing greater difficulty to focus long-term and prioritize. Without having the important social cues we have to work with from being in person with each other, oftentimes our online networking and relationships create big mis-communications, social fax paus, and unintentional impressions of being inconsiderate to other people’s feelings.
Compounding on the problem, both academics and behavioral psychologists that specialize in emotional intelligence, along with ADD psychologists and coaches, lack the serious expertise and personal experience needed to cover the effects of social media on people dealing from ADD: both “virtual” and genetic.
ADD is not a deficiency in a person. Honed right, it can be an incredibly special gift. But today’s understanding of how social media affects ADD, and vice versa, has huge gaps in research.
What we need today is a new type of learning: education and training from professionals with technical and communications know-how in Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, OkCupid, and many more of the online communities we spend out time in building relationships, both personal and professional. They understand people in the organic sense and the virtual sense, and understand how we are evolving like technology, and how to bring us back down to earth and make us mindful of social context, and of each other, for personal happiness and professional success. These are the new “Social Stylists.”
Learn from this presentation:
• The connection between Social Media and ADD/ADHD, and vice versa.
• How professionals in social media and other Internet communications can master “Virtual ADD” and still stay focused, organized, and effective with their responsibilities, both professional and personal.
• Social Media, and other jobs and responsibilities perfect for ADD/ADHD people.
• Tools and tips for how to manage ADD/ADHD for a happy and successful, per-fessional life.
• How to use distractions to your creative advantage, and how to set realistic systems in place for shutting them off. (Including constantly checking email and one’s social media walls.)
• How to learn the hard-to-find social cues in digital media, and make more thoughtful communications that lead to less misunderstandings, and better relationships.
• Stories from successful per-fessionals who mastered their own ADHD.

5 Mental Health Conditions That Mimic ADHD
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health disorders affecting children across the world. Although the disorder strikes at a younger age, the symptoms may penetrate even into the adulthood.
ADHD Mental Disorder?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a medical disorder that affects the brain. It is characterized by inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive symptoms. There is no single cause of ADHD but it has been linked to genetic and environmental factors such as head injuries and prenatal exposure to alcohol or smoking. Brain scans of children with ADHD show differences in areas related to attention including smaller frontal lobe and cerebellum volumes. Common treatments include stimulant medications and behavior therapy which can help manage symptoms and prevent associated problems if identified and treated early. Untreated ADHD can increase risks of substance abuse, legal troubles, and other issues due to impaired impulse control.
Medicated children
ADD/ADHD is a biological brain-based condition characterized by inattention, distractibility, hyperactivity and impulsivity. While the exact causes are unknown, it is thought to have genetic components. ADHD is diagnosed through evaluating behaviors and their impact with input from parents, teachers and doctors. Stimulant medications are commonly used to treat core symptoms, while behavioral interventions can also help children develop strategies to improve focus and organization. Effective management typically requires a combined approach addressing medical and environmental factors.

ADD/ADHD is a biological brain-based condition characterized by inattention, distractibility, hyperactivity and impulsivity. While the exact causes are unknown, it is thought to have genetic components. ADHD is diagnosed through evaluations of behaviors in multiple environments. Stimulant medications are commonly used to treat core symptoms, while behavioral therapies can help develop coping strategies. Effective treatment involves a combination of medication and psychosocial support tailored to individual needs.

This document discusses alternative approaches to treating ADHD without medication. It notes that ADHD is often misdiagnosed and many conditions can cause ADHD-like symptoms. Stimulant medications for ADHD like Ritalin have many potential side effects and may cause long-term brain changes. Lifestyle factors like nutrition, sleep, screen time, and treating underlying conditions provide a safer alternative or addition to medications for managing ADHD symptoms.

Attention Deficit Disorder is commonly referred to as ADHD. Three types of
ADHD are identified by the National Institute of Mental health. They are: the
predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (that does not show significant inattention);
the predominantly inattentive type (that does not show significant hyperactive-
impulsive behavior) sometimes called ADD; and the combined type
(that displays both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms).
adhd treatment
ADHD is commonly diagnosed but the causes are largely unknown. There is no cure, only treatment, because researchers are not truly interested in finding the underlying causes. ADHD diagnosis involves subjective criteria that can vary depending on the standards used. While medications treat symptoms, the best approach is to identify environmental and lifestyle factors that may be triggering ADHD, and use natural treatments and "brain sport" to stimulate the brain and reverse the condition without long-term reliance on drugs.

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.

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 ...

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

- 8. What Causes ADHD? The cause of ADHD is not yet known. It may be inherited and linked to the genes that control the way the brain uses neurotransmitters. In some cases it can be traced to brain trauma that causes injury to the nerves. Recent research suggest that it may be caused by the imbalance of neurotransmitters
- 9. Treatment Options ADHD can be treated with medicine. Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride), a stimulant, has been used since the 1960’s for treatment of ADHD. There are now several non-stimulant drugs on the market such as Strattera (atomoxetine) which boosts the production of norepinephrine and Intuniv Behavior modification, counseling, brain gym exercises, ear training, diet and exercise are also important considerations in the treatment of ADHD.
