Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder
Millions of children struggle with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and usually lasts into adulthood. Chronic issues including issues maintaining focus, hyperactivity, and impulsive conduct are all parts of ADHD.
Symptoms and Signs:
However, these behaviours don’t suddenly disappear in children with ADHD. Engaging with friends, family, or coworkers may be difficult because of the persistent, occasionally severe symptoms.
I. Often daydream
II. frequently lose or forget stuff
III. wriggle or fidget
IV. Talk excessively
V. take needless risks or careless actions
VI. having trouble avoiding temptation
VII. have difficulty switching off
VIII. have trouble getting along with other people
Reasons for ADHD:
Researchers are examining the cause(s) of and risk factors for ADHD in an effort to improve management and lower the likelihood that someone would get it. Current research indicates that heredity plays a significant role in ADHD, despite the fact that the cause(s) and risk factors are unknown. Recent research relates genetic causes to ADHD.
Scientists are researching additional potential causes and risk factors in addition to genetics, such as:
- brain damage
- exposure to environmental dangers, such as lead, while pregnant or while young
- smoking and drinking while pregnant
- premature birth
- Low birth weight
Types:
Depending on which symptoms are most prominent in the individual, there are three ways that ADHD manifests itself:
Presentation that is Predominantly Inattentive: It is challenging for the person to arrange or complete a task, to pay attention to details, or to follow directions or dialogues. The individual gets easily sidetracked or overlooks small elements of daily activities.
Presentation that is Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive: The person fidgets and talks a lot. Long periods of stillness are challenging (e.g., for a meal or while doing homework). Children that are younger may continually run, jump, or climb. The person is restless and struggles with impulse control. Impulsive persons may speak suddenly, seize objects from others, or interrupt others frequently. The person finds it challenging to follow instructions or wait their turn. Impulsiveness increases the likelihood of accidents and injury for some people.
Combination Presentation: The person exhibits both of the aforementioned types of symptoms in equal measure.
The appearance may alter over time because the symptoms themselves can.
