Case Study of ADhD
Disorder
Problem statement:
ADHD stands for Attentive deficit hyperactivity
disorder.It is the group of neurological disorder of
childhood that effect the functioning of brain and have
neurological bases with strong genetic
component.ADHD consist of a persistent pattern of
inattentive or hyperactive and impulsive
behaviour.Children with ADHD cannot sit still and pay
attention in class,and the negative concequences of
such behaviour have far-reaching and long term
concequences. The report emphasizes that the impact
of ADHD on the individuals with this disorder, their
families and society is great.
Research
According to different researches ,ADHD is not a mental illness and
not a disaability to learn.Its not a behavioural problem.According
to experts ADHD is just a brain impairment that usually targets
childrens and can also be seen in adults
According to NICE ,National institute for Health and Care
Excellence, it is not a disease nor a disorder as the victim is
physically completely normal.
Causes of ADHD Disorder
• Genetic Factors: One fourth to one third of biological parents of children with ADHD are
affected by ADHD themselves, suggesting a significant genetic component.The chance of
Parents with a child who has ADHD, having another child with ADHD is about 1 in 3.
• Brain Damage: It has been speculated that some children affected by ADHD suffered
subtle damage to the central nervous system and brain development during their fetal
and perinatal periods. It may be associated with circulatory, toxic, metabolic, mechanical
or physical insult to the brain during early infancy caused by infection, inflammation, and
trauma.
• Neurochemical Factors: The most widely studied drugs in the treatment of ADHD, the
stimulants, affect both dopamine and norepinephrine, leading to neurotransmitter
hypothesis that include possible dysfunction in both dopaminergic and noradrenergic
systems.
There are many causes of ADHD Disorder. Some of their are follow:
• Neurophysiological Factors: The individual with ADHD is relatively unaware of his or her
sensations of salient informative stimuli. This results in the paradoxical reaction to stimulant
medication, where individuals with ADHD become less instead of more active after taking
stimulant medication, as they become more attentive to salient informative stimuli.
• Psychosocial Factors: Family-environment variables such as severe marital discord, large family
size, paternal criminality, maternal mental disorder, and foster care placement are significant risk
factors in the development of ADHD.
Causes of ADHD Disorder
• Children must have six of nine symptoms to qualify for either the inattentive or
hyperactive/impulsive subtypes of ADHD, or six of nine symptoms of both subtypes to
qualify for the combined type.
These symptoms must have been present before the age of seven.
Symptoms must create impairment in two or more settings (e.g. home, school, and
neighborhood).
• Symptoms must cause clinically significant impairment in social, academic or
occupational functioning.
• Symptoms must not be better accounted for by any other disorder.

Inattentive ADHD Disorder Hyperactivity ADHD Disorder
• Failing to pay close sttentions to details or

• Forgetable in daily activities.
• Appearing not to listen when spoken to.
• Difficulty in organizing tasks and activities.

• Excessive speech.
• Answering a question before the speaker has
finished.
• Failing to wait ones turn.
• Interrupting the activities of others.
Treatment of ADHD Disorder
Treatment of ADHD Disorder
• Sometimes parents are hesitant to discuss concerns about ADHD because they fear children
will be put on medication with terrible side effects. The good news is, there are several
different types of medications (such as Concerta, Clonidine, and Strattera) available for
ADHD.
• There are also many other types of treatment that don’t involve medication. Parent training
can be very effective. This involves a professional assisting parents with learning
various behavior modification strategies and discipline techniques that can reduce behavior
problems associated with ADHD.
• School accommodations can also be helpful for your child.Sometimes, simple strategies—
such as having a child sit near the front of the classroom to reduce distractions—can be
beneficial.
Result
ADHD has emerged from the 20th century with a large amount of
scientific work investigating its validity and clarifying clinical
controversies.37 The disorder is highly prevalent worldwide, is
associated with significant impairments and frequently persists in
adulthood. The emerging knowledge about the causes and
pathophysiology of ADHD should lead to an improved
understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the disorder,
which should improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.
