ADHD is hard to deal with for parents. It’s not that easy for parents to diagnose their 3 year old who is uncooperative and impulsive but ADHD sufferers are much more extreme than being hyperactive. A child with ADHD is not able to focus on even a normally enjoyable work.

Diagnosis is based on the history of signs/symptoms of ADHD persistent for more than six months. Family history & gender are exposing factors and boys are three times more prone to have ADHD.

Psycho stimulant drugs and psychotherapy/behavior therapy and social skills training are the most preferred and effective treatment options for ADHD. Specialized learning techniques can help improve school performance.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inability to pay attention or acting impulsively with hyperactivity. Many sufferers often struggle in their studies or profession and have trouble maintaining and developing a social circle. ADHD can be either predominantly inattentive or predominantly hyperactive/impulsive and combinations of the two are common. Studies have shown that ADHD affects 3-7.5% of school children in America.

Symptoms of ADHD include: inattention, i.e. Struggle to focus, absentminded and easily diverted, poor executive skills, sluggishness, passive & constant daydreaming. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is characterized by uncontrolled behavior, jiggling and restlessness. Hyperactivity precedes inattention usually.
