What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically appears in childhood and often persists into adulthood. It is characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. ADHD symptoms are typically divided into two categories: inattentiveness and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
- Difficulty maintaining attention during tasks or play activities
- Frequently makes careless mistakes in studying or other activities
- Difficulty organizing tasks and activities
- Avoids or dislikes tasks that require constant mental effort
- Frequently losing items necessary for the mission
- Easily distracted by external stimuli
- Forgetfulness in daily activities
Hyperactive-impulsive
- Restlessness or tapping of arms and legs
- Inability to sit still in expected situations
- Running or climbing in inappropriate situations
- Unable to play or participate in activities quietly
- Talk too much
- Blurt out the answer before the question ends
- Difficulty waiting for your turn
- Interrupt or interfere with another person’s conversation or game
Diagnosis is usually made by a healthcare professional based on these symptoms, how long they last, and how much they affect the individual’s life. Symptoms must persist for at least six months and be inconsistent with the individual’s developmental level.
The exact cause of ADHD is unknown, but several factors are thought to contribute, including genetics, brain structure and function, and environmental influences. Risk factors include a family history of ADHD, prenatal exposure to tobacco or alcohol, and premature birth. ADHD is often managed with a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and educational support. Stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine, are often prescribed and may be effective in reducing symptoms. Non-stimulant medications are also available. Behavioral therapies focus on developing organizational skills, improving concentration, and managing impulsivity. Educational interventions often involve appropriate teaching strategies and classroom modifications.
