Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is a mental disorder of the neurodevelopmental type. [9] [10] It is characterized by problems paying attention , excessive activity, or difficulty controlling behavior which is not appropriate for a person's age . [1] [2] The symptoms appear before a person is twelve years old, are present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, or recreational activities). [3] [11] In children, problems paying attention may result in poor school performance. [1] Additionally there is an association with other mental disorders and substance misuse . [12] Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many children with ADHD have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting. [13]

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD , similar to hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD-10 ) is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder [1] [2] [3] [4] in which there are significant problems with executive functions (e.g., attentional control and inhibitory control ) that cause attention deficits , hyperactivity, or impulsiveness which is not appropriate for a person's age . [5] [6] [7] These symptoms must begin by age six to twelve and persist for more than six months for a diagnosis to be made. [8] [9] In school-aged individuals inattention symptoms often result in poor school performance. Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many children have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting. [10] |

Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is a psychiatric [1] and neurobehavioral disorder [2] characterized by either significant difficulties of inattention or hyperactivity and impulsiveness or a combination of the two. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), symptoms emerge before seven years of age. [3] There are three subtypes of the disorder which consist of it being predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I), predominantely hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-HI or ADHD-H), or the two combined (ADHD-C). Oftentimes people refer to ADHD-PI as "attention deficit disorder" (ADD), however, this term has not been officially used since the 1994 version of the DSM. ADHD impacts school-aged children and results in restlessness, acting impulsively, and lack of focus which impairs their ability to learn. |

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD or AD/HD ) is a neurobehavioral [1] developmental disorder . [2] ADHD is primarily characterized by "the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity , with each behavior occurring infrequently alone." [3] While symptoms may appear to be innocent and merely annoying nuisances to observers, "if left untreated, the persistent and pervasive effects of ADHD symptoms can insidiously and severely interfere with one's ability to get the most out of education, fulfill one's potential in the workplace, establish and maintain interpersonal relationships, and maintain a generally positive sense of self."

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD, often abbreviated as ADHD) is usually considered to be a neurobehavioral [1] developmental disorder . [2] It affects about 3 - 5% of children with symptoms starting before seven years of age. [3] It is characterized by a persistent pattern of impulsiveness and inattention, with or without a component of hyperactivity . [4] ADHD occurs twice as commonly in boys as in girls. [5] ADHD is generally a chronic [6] disorder with 10 to 40% of individuals diagnosed in childhood continuing to meet diagnostic criteria in adulthood. [7] [8] As they mature, adolescents and adults with ADHD are likely to develop coping mechanisms to compensate for their impairment. [9] |

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , or Hyperkinetic Disorder as officially known in the UK (though ADHD is more commonly used), is generally considered to be a developmental disorder , largely neurological in nature, affecting about 5% of the world's population. [1] [2] [3] [4] The disorder typically presents itself during childhood, and is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity , as well as forgetfulness , poor impulse control or impulsivity, and distractibility . [5] [6] ADHD is currently considered to be a persistent and chronic condition for which no medical cure is available. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in children and, over the past decade, has been increasingly diagnosed in adults. About 60% of children diagnosed with ADHD retain the disorder as adults. [7] The disorder appears to be highly heritable, with contributions on occasion from trauma or toxic exposure. Methods of treatment usually involve some combination of medications, behaviour modifications, life style changes, and counseling. Certain social critics are highly skeptical that the diagnosis denotes a genuine impairment and question virtually all that is known about ADHD. The symptoms of ADHD are not as profoundly different from normal behavior as are those of other chronic mental disorders . Still, by definition those with ADHD must display impaired functioning and many adverse life outcomes are also associated with ADHD. |

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (sometimes referred to as ADD for those without hyperactivity) is thought to be a neurological disorder , always present from childhood, which manifests itself with symptoms such as hyperactivity , forgetfulness , poor impulse control , and distractibility . [1] In neurological pathology , ADHD is currently considered to be an unrelenting and chronic syndrome for which no medical cure is available. ADHD is believed to affect between 3-5% of the United States population, including both children and adults. [2] |

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed and controversial mental disorders among children, and is increasingly recognized as afflicting adults as well. Its symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. According to sources such as the CDC , the causes are currently unknown, and it is thought that the term covers a variety of related disorders. There is no single medical test that can accurately diagnose ADHD, though there are assessment tools. |

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) is one of the most common mental disorders among children. It was formerly called hyperkinetic syndrome (HKS) or minimal cerebral dysfunction (MCD). Almost everything about ADHD has been the subject of intense debate and many have been critical against the use of this diagnosis. |
