ADHD-Overview

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic condition, a neurobehavioral development disorder. Problems that are associated to ADHD are poor attention span, restlessness and impulsive, hyperactive behavior. It is one of the most studied psychiatric disorders in children. Many children have this disorder, it has been estimated that three to five per cent of children worldwide have it.

Today, scientists believe that the cause of this condition is mainly in the inherited traits of the child. However, environmental factors may play a great role in worsening the child’s behavior. The factors that play the biggest role are heredity (it tends to run in the family, although no one is quite sure why), altered brain function and anatomy (there appears to be less activity in the parts of the brain that control attention and activity with those suffering from ADHD), and environmental toxins (if a child, or the mother while in pregnancy has been exposed to some substances, such as lead, PCB’s, etc. there is an increased risk that the child will get ADHD).

Symptoms

It is vital that parents pay attention to the symptoms so as to, if needed, consult a doctor. The main symptom is inattention, which may manifest itself as the child not being able to listen when someone is speaking to it, avoids and dislikes schoolwork, gets easily distracted, has problems organizing tasks, etc.

Also, the manifestations of hyperactive behavior include: the child has trouble waiting for its turn, talks too much and too fast, fidgets often, interrupts others frequently, runs and climbs when it’s not appropriate, etc.
