Present days, parents are too busy that makes it difficult to keep up
with their children. Parents complain that children are mischievous that disciplining
and controlling them is a difficult task. People have the opinion that children
trouble them on purpose, instead of telling them repeatedly to not do
something, they still do it. Children with ADHD are not intentionally troubling
their parents and family. These children are not being mischievous on purpose.
Family member stretches their patience to an insurmountable level, but
it is necessary to understand that the child is not at fault. ADHD is a nervous
disorder by an ongoing pattern of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity that
intrudes on development. A child with ADHD is intelligent, with proper care and
treatment he or she can excel in life.
Lack of attention means a person ambles off task, lacks consistency,
has trouble sustaining focus, and is messed up. These problems are not because
of defiance or lack of comprehension.
In hyperactivity, a person appears to move about constantly, like in inappropriate
situations; or taps, or talks. In adults, it might be extreme restlessness with
other constant activity.
Impulsivity makes people’s actions hasty that occur at the moment
without first thinking and that may have a high potential for harm, or a desire
for immediate rewards or inability to delay gratification. These people may socially
intrusive, excessively interrupt others and make important decisions without thinking
about the long-term consequences.
Symptoms:
The National Institute of Mental Health has stated that inattention
and hyperactivity or impulsivity are the key behaviors of people with ADHD. Some
have problems with one of the behaviors, while others have both inattention and
hyperactivity-impulsivity. The most common symptoms of ADHD in preschool
level is hyperactivity.
It is normal to have little inattention, unfocused motor activity and
impulsivity, but for people with ADHD, behaviors are more severe, occur more
often, interfere or reduce the quality of daily functions at school, or in a
job.
People with inattention may often overlook or miss details, become careless
and makes mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities. They have
problems paying attention in tasks or play, in conversations, lectures, or
lengthy reading.
This condition not only affects children but also continues into the
teenage years and adulthood. ADHD is common in boys than in girls and usually
diagnosed between 6 to 12 years of age.
