UNDERSTANDING ADHD (ATTENTION
DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER)
ADHD or ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a psychiatric disorder
seen mainly in children with symptoms sometimes continuing to
adulthood. ADHD comes with restlessness, impulsive action and
impaired ability to learn due to lack of concentration. Symptoms of
ADHD appear before seven years of age, and impact the school-aged
children most.
ADHD affects about 3 to 5 percent children globally, and seen more
frequently in boys as compared to girls. ADHD is a chronic disorder, with most individuals diagnosed in childhood continuing to have
symptoms to adulthood.
ADHD in children can be confused with similar conditions like
Asperger's Syndrome and Autism, where there is lacking social
interaction, expression and symptoms of hyperactivity.
ADHD or similar diseases does not affect the physical growth, e.g.
weight, height or does not cause any physical deformity.
