What Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD is characterized by various problems with attention span, difficulties maintaining focus, dynamic behavior, and impulsivity. ADHD can severely impair a child’s academic performance.

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adults. The disorder is usually first noticed in early childhood, when it may cause problems at school or home. As a child ages, the problems can extend to social relationships and become apparent at work and with peers.

Symptoms Of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Children with ADHD may display inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Although the disorder is a mental disorder, ADHD also affects behavior. Children with ADHD suffer from problems with sustained attention and impulsive behavior that interfere with school, home, or family life.

The symptoms of ADHD can be categorized into three main types, as follows:

1. Inattention – Children ages 3-11 with ADHD may not pay attention to details, words, or even their environment’s usual signs and signals.

2. Hyperactivity – Children with ADHD are often fidgety and restless and may have difficulty remaining seated. Some children will tend to pace or run when they should be sitting still.

3. Impulsivity – Children with ADHD often act without thinking first and don’t consider the consequences of their actions. Their actions can be seriously harmful to themselves and others around them.

When it comes to ADHD, the severity of the symptoms can differ from person to person.

Causes of ADHD

Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are the main behaviors associated with ADHD. ADHD is thought to be caused by a composite of genes and environment.

Both genetic and environmental factors may increase a child’s risk of developing ADHD. Research suggests that genes may account for about one-third of a person’s risk for developing ADHD. Environmental factors are also believed to play a role in the development of the mental health disorder.

In addition to genetic and environmental factors, scientists and experts are examining other possible causes and factors, including:

• Environmental risk exposure during young age or a pregnancy
• Premature Delivery
• Brain Injury
• Tobacco and alcohol use during pregnancy

These factors and others have been implicated in the development of ADHD.
The precise cause of ADHD is not known. The condition may be due to one or more factors, some of which are hereditary, environmental, or a combination of both.

ADHD Diagnosis

Assessment or diagnosis for ADHD should be made by a professional or licensed mental health specialists specializing in diagnosing and treating children with ADHD and other mental health conditions. At Hanei Health Solutions, we use a multidisciplinary team approach to diagnose patients with ADHD.

Assessment usually involves an initial meeting with a psychologist, psychiatrist, or nurse practitioner who will talk to the patient and their family about ADHD and collect information on current symptoms and any past problems with lack of attention. It is followed by a comprehensive medical evaluation which often includes psychological tests and clinical interviews with the patient and family.

ADHD Treatments

Treatment for ADHD is aimed at reducing symptoms and helping the patient cope with them. Treatment may include medications, specialized coaching, and counseling. In some cases, a combination of alternative treatments is used.

Medications such as stimulants and nonstimulant medications are effective in treating symptoms of ADHD. In most cases, ADHD is best treated with behavioral therapy, particularly training family members, which is advisable as the first line of treatment before other medication options.

Therapy and counseling programs are aimed at supplementing medication treatment, helping the patient gain better control of their behavior, and increasing self-esteem. Counseling is aimed at helping the patient develop coping strategies for dealing with ADHD symptoms, family support, school problems, and other issues associated with ADHD.
