 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is considered to be a developmental disorder that affects a persons’ ability to concentrate on tasks, avoid distractions, and to sit still, and to think about the consequences before they act. ADHD.ADHD 

 ADHD started when Sir Alexander Crichton described it as a mental restlessness  symptoms that we associate with ADD were given the name Post-Encephalitic Behavior Disorder  Dr. Charles Bradley introduced the use of stimulants in children who were hyperactive  Ritalin was introduced  ADD was changed to ADHD  kids with ADHD can receive education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

ADHD Medicines Stimulants - Methylphenidate, Concerta, Metadate Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine- Adderal Topical- Daytrana

A person with ADHD may have some or all of the following symptoms:  difficulty paying attention to details and tendency to make careless mistakes in school or other activities; producing work that is often messy and careless  easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli and frequently interrupting ongoing tasks to attend to trivial noises or events that are usually ignored by others  inability to sustain attention on tasks or activities  difficulty finishing schoolwork or paperwork or performing tasks that require concentration  frequent shifts from one uncompleted activity to another

 Procrastination  Disorganized work habits  forgetfulness in daily activities (for example, missing appointments, forgetting to bring lunch)  failure to complete tasks such as homework or chores  frequent shifts in conversation, not listening to others, not keeping one's mind on conversations,

 What exactly causes ADHD isn't known.ADHD  Experts do know that ADHD has a strong genetic component. In addition, they think that genes that control the levels of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters seem to be different in those with ADHD.ADHD

Overdiagnosis ADHD: What the Experts Say It is well-known that professionals tend to overdiagnose ADHD. In fact different protocol are used by different medical professionals in coming to a diagnosis. Some use a battery of expensive tests, while others merely use rating scales or go through a checklist. Understand that it's entirely possible for your child to be given a diagnosis of ADHD, when, in fact, he is just a high energy kid who is easily distracted. Article Source:

 Make sure the child is not seated by the window or door ( easily distracted)  Created a behavior plan  Reduce the interruptions for children with ADHD  Take measures to break down and reinforce instructions, and redirect when necessary  Make learning fun/ be creative  Help the child stay organized

Do you think that ADHD is over diagnosed or a serious problem amongst children????
