The diagnosis of ADHD requires gathering information from multiple sources like the child, parents, teachers and physicians to assess symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. A doctor takes a medical history to understand how long symptoms have occurred and their impact, as signs of ADHD may first be noticed before school when a child has trouble focusing, becomes easily distracted and lacks self-control.

1. The document discusses hyperactivity in children and its relationship to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It notes that while the term "hyperactive child" is commonly used, hyperactivity alone does not indicate ADHD and further evaluation is needed.
2. ADHD is diagnosed based on whether the child meets criteria for inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Other potential causes of hyperactive behaviors must also be considered and ruled out.
3. Successful management of ADHD involves a collaborative approach between parents, teachers, and medical professionals using strategies like behavior modification, classroom accommodations, and medication if needed.

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.

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.

ADHD - InfoBarrel
The document discusses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including its causes, diagnosis, treatment, and living with ADHD. It defines the three types of ADHD as hyperactive-impulsive, inattentive, and a combination. The cause is unknown but thought to be genetic or related to brain injury. Diagnosis is difficult due to overlapping symptoms with other issues. Treatment involves medication, behavioral training, or a combination, and should be tailored to the individual. Living with ADHD greatly impacts the entire family and requires organization, consistency, and potentially counseling support.
Factors afffecting child behaviour in dental office
This document discusses factors that affect child behavior in a dental setting. It identifies factors under the dentist's control like their attire, attitude, the dental office environment and appointment length. Factors not under the dentist's control include the child's development, past experiences, home environment and parental influences. Specifically, it notes that a child-friendly office with toys and parental presence can help reduce anxiety. A dentist's calm demeanor and short appointments also promote cooperation. Children's baseline anxiety and experiences affect their comfort level during treatment.
Diary Description Method
Diary writing involves recording detailed observations of a child's behaviors, activities, and development over time. It is useful for constructing a child's profile, tracking changes, and sharing with parents. To conduct a diary record, the observer writes down everything the child says, does, and interacts with for a minimum 15 minute period without interruption. Diary entries are recorded from memory at a later time in past tense. The method allows collection of longitudinal child data to explore behaviors, triggers, growth, and relationships over time. While time consuming, diaries provide context and validity but lack anecdotal detail.

ADHD Parent Guide
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined as a chronic neurological disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. In 2016, it is estimated that 6.1 million or 9.4% of children had a diagnosis of ADHD (
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
, n.d.). A diagnosis of ADHD can be both confusing and welcomed. Confusing because the details of the diagnosis are unknown but welcomed because the parents and child finally have a “why” for the child’s difficulties. This parent guide will discuss the pathophysiolology, diagnosing, signs/symptoms, treatment options, and other aspects involved in an ADHD diagnosis.
Pathophysiology
Many research studies suggest ADHD may be caused by interactions between genes and environmental or non-genetic factors. Many cases of ADHD have a genetic origin. A child is 50% more likely to have ADHD if their parent was diagnosed with the condition and 25% of the children with ADHD have parents who have met the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD. Other factors that can contribute to ADHD is substance use, low birth weight, brain injuries and exposure to some environmental toxins.
ADHD is a result of neurotransmitter disease dysfunction, that effect dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine has a role in a person's ability to learn and reinforcing trained response to various situations. Dopamine also plays and important role in "working memory"(
Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
, 2004). Norepinephrine effects a person's alertness and attention. Norepinephrine is activated by novel and important stimuli and are quiescent during sleep.
Environmental factors of ADHD is a result of a toxin such as lead or other nuero-toxic substances that may result in delayed development of the child's brain before, during or birth. Substance abuse is a very common cause of pre- and perinatal factors that may result in ADHD. Exposure of the fetus to alcohol is associated with a reduction in the volume of the prefrontal and temporal cortices, the brain areas involved in regulation of attention and control of impulsivity.

ADHD
ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders characterized by difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis involves ruling out other potential causes and determining that symptoms negatively impact daily functioning. Treatment typically involves stimulant medications, which can improve focus and reduce hyperactivity, as well as psychotherapy. While there is no cure for ADHD, treatment can effectively manage symptoms.

Diagnosis
- 2. How Is ADHD Diagnosed? • The process of diagnosing ADHD requires several steps and involves gathering a lot of information from multiple sources. You, your child, your child's school, and other caregivers should be involved in assessing your child's behavior. • A physician can conduct a medical history to help put a child's behavior in context. They will ask what symptoms a child is showing, how long the symptoms have occurred, and how the behavior affects a child and his/her family.
- 3. • The signs of possible attention deficit disorder may first be noticed long before the child begins school. Their lack of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity may be seen when these lose interest in playing a game or watching a TV show, or if the child runs around and seems completely out of control.
