What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically emerges in childhood and often persists into adulthood. It is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.
ADHD symptoms are generally divided into two categories: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
Inattention
- Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities
- Frequent careless mistakes in schoolwork or other activities
- Difficulty organizing tasks and activities
- Avoidance or dislike of tasks that require sustained mental effort
- Frequently losing items necessary for tasks
- Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli
- Forgetfulness in daily activities
Hyperactivity-Impulsivity
- Fidgeting or tapping hands and feet
- Inability to stay seated in situations where it is expected
- Running or climbing in inappropriate situations
- Inability to play or engage in activities quietly
- Talking excessively
- Blurting out answers before questions are completed
- Difficulty waiting for one’s turn
- Interrupting or intruding on others’ conversations or games
Diagnosis is typically made by a healthcare professional based on these symptoms, their duration, and the degree to which they impact the individual’s life. Symptoms must be present for at least six months and be inappropriate for the individual’s developmental level.
The exact cause of ADHD is not known, but several factors are believed to contribute, including genetics, brain structure and function, and environmental influences. Risk factors include family history of ADHD, prenatal exposure to tobacco or alcohol, and premature birth.
ADHD is typically managed with a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and educational support. Stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, are commonly prescribed and can be effective in reducing symptoms. Non-stimulant medications are also available. Behavioral therapies focus on developing organizational skills, improving focus, and managing impulsivity. Educational interventions often involve tailored teaching strategies and classroom accommodations.
