What is ADHD?
ADHD is a chronic condition characterized by difficulty maintaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Because of these symptoms, those with ADHD also commonly struggle with low self-esteem and poor academic performance.
ADHD (Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity disorder) affects millions of children and can continue into adulthood if not addressed. While there is no cure for ADHD, treatment such as medication and behavioral interventions can drastically improve the management of symptoms. Therefore, early ADHD diagnosis and treatment is important for those who suspect that they may have ADHD.
Types of ADHD
Inattention/Inattentive
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity
Combined
Inattention/Inattentive
Those who display inattentive behaviors have extreme difficulty focusing and sustaining attention. This can result in careless mistakes in schoolwork and other chores. In addition, they may commonly lose items and forget about their responsibilities.
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity
Those who are hyperactive feel the need to constantly be on the go or in motion. Hyperactive behavior can include fidgeting with hands or feet and having trouble sitting still. Those who are impulsive struggle to make sound decisions and control their impulses. Impulsive behavior can include blurting out answers, interrupting others, and intruding on others’ conversations, games, and activities.
Combined
Often, those who have ADHD will show symptoms of both inattentiveness as well as hyperactivity/impulsivity. The combination of both these symptoms can make it even more difficult to function during day-to-day life. However, getting early diagnosis and treatment can improve the management of these symptoms.
