ADHD
“If diagnosed, be sure to know
why “type” of ADHD you are
being diagnosed with.”
What Are Some Symptoms?
 Difficulty remaining focused
 Trouble organizing tasks
 Often has difficulty waiting his
or her turn
 Acts as if “driven by a motor”
 Often interrupts or intrudes on
others
 Is often forgetful of daily
activities
 Often avoids or dislikes
engaging in tasks that require
sustained mental effort
What is ADHD?
ADHD is an acronym for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a psychological
condition that begins in early childhood and frequently persists into adulthood. It is classified
as a developmental disorder. There are three subtypes of the disorder: predominantly
inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of inattentive and
hyperactive-impuslive.
Research points to four primary causes of ADHD: neurodevelopmental factors,
neurophysiological deficits, prenatal causes such as smoking, and genetic factors.
How is it diagnosed?
 A medical doctor can rule out
medical conditions that may be the
cause of symptoms; start here.
 A psychologist or other mental
health professional trained in
psychological testing can assess &
accurately diagnose ADHD with
subtype.
 Pharmacotherapy, in conjunction
with psychotherapy is a researched
supported effective treatment plan;
a psychiatrist can prescribe
medications.
