Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects an individual’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate activity levels. For those with ADHD, everyday tasks can feel overwhelming and chaotic. Children with ADHD may struggle to sit still in class, follow instructions, or complete homework, leading to frustration and feelings of inadequacy. Adults with ADHD may find it difficult to maintain organization, meet deadlines, or balance responsibilities, often resulting in stress and self-doubt. Left untreated, ADHD can negatively impact academic performance, work productivity, relationships, and overall well-being. Seeking help is crucial, as early intervention can provide individuals with the tools to manage their symptoms, improve self-esteem, and build a fulfilling life.

  • Impulsive behaviors, such as interrupting others or acting without considering consequences

Who is at Risk?

ADHD often begins in childhood, with symptoms typically noticeable before the age of 12. While the exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, research suggests a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors contribute to its development. Children with a family history of ADHD or other mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression, are at a significantly higher risk. Additionally, prenatal exposure to alcohol, nicotine, or other substances, as well as complications during birth, such as prematurity or low birth weight, may increase the likelihood of ADHD.

Boys are more likely to be diagnosed than girls, though recent studies suggest this may be due to differences in how symptoms present. Boys often display more hyperactive and impulsive behaviors, while girls may show inattentive symptoms that are subtler and harder to detect. This discrepancy can lead to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis, particularly for girls. Early identification and intervention are essential for minimizing long-term challenges and helping individuals with ADHD achieve their full potential.

Treatment Options

  • Behavioral Therapy: Focuses on developing strategies to manage symptoms, such as creating routines and breaking tasks into manageable steps.
  • Medication: Stimulant and non-stimulant medications can help balance brain activity, improving focus and impulse control.
  • Parent Training: Empowers caregivers with techniques to support their child’s development effectively.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Incorporating mindfulness, physical activity, and proper sleep routines to manage symptoms naturally.
