It describes the three categories of ADHD - predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type. It lists common signs and symptoms and treatments which include medication and behavioral therapy.
This document provides information about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), including:
- It describes the three main types of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type.
- Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls. Girls with ADHD often present as inattentive.
- Signs of ADHD in young children include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
- Current treatments include medication, therapy, behavior modification, and exercise, but a combination is most effective. Medications help with concentration, impulse control, and calmness.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children and teens that is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed in early school years. Children with ADHD struggle with time management, relationships, self-esteem, and organization. Symptoms persist into adulthood and can include anxiety, low self-esteem, forgetfulness, anger issues, impulsivity, and substance abuse. ADHD is caused by genetic and neurological factors such as chemical imbalances and less activity in areas of the brain controlling attention. Treatment involves medications, behavioral therapy, special education, social skills training, and psychotherapy.

1. ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders, with 30-60% of cases persisting into adulthood. It is caused by dysfunction in brain circuits involving catecholamines like dopamine and norepinephrine.
2. Adult ADHD presentations do not always neatly match the DSM criteria, which were developed for children. Evaluations require assessing specific symptoms, impairment levels, psychiatric history, and collateral information.
3. Effective treatment involves stimulant medications like methylphenidate and amphetamines, which work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels. Screening tools can aid diagnosis, but labs and cardiac screening are also important aspects of the assessment process.
Association Between Adult ADHD Symptoms and Family DistressTejas Shah
In this seminar, I will be exploring some research studies discussing how the ADHD symptoms manifest in adults and cause problems and impairment in different domains, ex. home, work, social and personal, of an Adult ADHD person’s life leading to family distress. Further, I will discuss about assessment and management of family distress.
ADHD is a disorder marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It often arises in early childhood and causes difficulties at home, school, and work. Symptoms include an inability to focus, being easily distracted, excessive talking or movement, and difficulty waiting or following instructions. A diagnosis requires that symptoms be present in multiple environments and negatively impact functioning. While it was traditionally thought children outgrow ADHD, it is now understood the disorder persists into adulthood for many individuals. Effective management includes behavioral and medical interventions.

About ADHD(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)MoynulHasan3
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It often appears before school age and about half of children with ADHD continue experiencing symptoms into adulthood. Diagnosis involves observing a child's behavior in multiple environments, reports from parents and teachers, interviews, and tests. Potential causes include abnormalities in dopamine levels and the frontal-striatal brain region, as well as environmental factors like stress. Treatment options are drug therapy, behavior therapy, or a combination of the two.
ADHD is a common behavioral disorder affecting about 10% of school-aged children. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While its exact causes are unknown, it may be related to genetic and environmental factors. In the classroom, children with ADHD have trouble focusing, staying organized, and completing tasks. Teachers can help by structuring the environment, providing cues and routines, using positive reinforcement, and allowing for movement breaks. Medications like Ritalin are also used to treat core symptoms, but can have side effects. Resources are available to help children and teachers manage the disorder.
Autism- A lifelong neurological and developmental disorder or a severe mental condition. It affects emotions, speech, memory, learning ability and self-control. Let's know more about this.
ADHD is a chronic disorder characterized by difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. It affects approximately 3-5% of school-aged children. The causes are unknown but may include genetics, brain injury, environmental factors, and prenatal influences. The three main symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Treatment involves medication and behavior therapy to help manage symptoms. While medication is often used, it is not always the best option for every child with ADHD. Proper classroom environments and teaching strategies can also help students with ADHD succeed.
ADD, formally known as ADHD-PI, is a subtype of ADHD characterized by inattention, procrastination, and disorganization. The main symptoms are inattention and fatigue. ADHD is an umbrella term for disorders showing impulsiveness, inattention and hyperactivity. There are three subtypes: ADHD-PI, ADHD-HI, and ADHD-C. ADHD-PI is similar to ADD, while ADHD-HI and ADHD-C involve hyperactivity. Although the subtypes differ in dominant symptoms, they can be treated effectively with the same methods like stimulant medication, antidepressants, and therapy.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Children with ADHD may display behaviors like hyperactivity, impulsiveness, inattention, poor coordination, disorganization, and mood swings. The causes of ADHD are not fully known but studies show it tends to run in families and is more common in boys. Effective treatment of ADHD uses a variety of approaches including medication, behavioral therapies, school interventions, social skills training, and parenting support.
ADHD is a disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is diagnosed when behaviors persist for over 6 months and interfere with daily life. While its exact causes are unknown, genetics and environmental factors like prenatal smoking likely play a role. Treatment involves a multimodal approach including medication, counseling, behavioral therapies, and lifestyle changes like exercise, sleep, and nutrition. Nutritional therapy focuses on regular meals with protein and complex carbs, as well as sources of omega-3, zinc, iron, and magnesium.
This document discusses Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It defines ADHD as a behavioral disorder characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It states that ADHD affects 8-10% of school-aged children, most commonly boys. The document outlines the main symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It also discusses who is affected by ADHD, how it is diagnosed, educational management strategies, potential outcomes, and the role of diet.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity that impairs functioning. It was originally called "minimal brain disease" but its name and understanding has evolved over time. ADHD is caused by both genetic and environmental factors that impact brain regions involved in attention, motor control, and reward processing. It is diagnosed through evaluations of behaviors and sometimes brain imaging. Treatment involves medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve functioning.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) begins in childhood and may continue into adulthood, affecting an individual's activities professionally, socially, and within their family. ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. While it is a widely recognized disorder, some professionals still question its validity. ADHD has been linked to changes in the brain regions involved in behavioral inhibition, attention, and neurotransmitter systems. Treatment may include therapy, support at home and school, and stimulant medications which help the functioning of affected brain areas without causing addiction.
Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty concentrating, are unusually fidgety and impulsive, and may have problems getting along with others. ADHD is diagnosed based on behaviors rather than medical tests, and there may be small differences in brain structure like a smaller prefrontal cortex. The most common treatment is Ritalin, a stimulant medication that increases attention and decreases impulsiveness. Environmental changes like reducing distractions and using schedules can also help manage symptoms.
Does your child have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - Bhagirathi SreeLongaNandi123
Children are naturally active and day-dreamers. It’s normal for children to not pay attention to what you or teachers are saying. They may act fidgety or restless at times. This for many children is a normal part of their childhood and their personality. But when does this become a matter for concern? Is your child is just active or hyperactive?
