WHAT IS ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a disease that involves inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or a combination of all. The type of ADHD that primarily has attention deficit rather than hyperactivity is called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). It is one of the most common disorders in children which can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Recent studies have shown an increase in prevalence of ADHD over the past decade. It is estimated that 10 percent of children between ages of 4 and 17 are reported by their parents as being diagnosed with ADHD. Persons with ADHD are hyperactive and very impatient. They are always on the go. They don’t want to wait. They have difficulties in concentrating in their work, in school and even at home.5 They act before they think. They don’t consider the consequences that their actions can bring which most of the time will lead to trouble. They are inattentive to what you are saying and can be easily out of focus resulting in low grades in school or poor performance at work. Persons with ADHD are very inconsistent. Their minds are not focused properly all the time. Their actions are dependent on what their brain may pick up. The task that they could not do yesterday, they can do it today easily. In some cases, persons with ADHD are restless, always talking and acting on impulse. Not all persons with ADHD have all these symptoms. It may vary from person to person. Persons with ADHD are able to concentrate if it is something that is of great interest or is highly stimulating to them such as computer games. This ability to concentrate in this situation can send wrong notion to untrained observers that ADHD should not pose any concern especially when they see them enjoying the things they are doing. The various signs that ADHD manifest can be confused as only natural part of growing up, making it difficult even for mental health professionals to identify ADHD accurately.
