ADHD: Learn About Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

ADHD is the abbreviation for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is one of the most common childhood behavior disorders. Of all children referred to mental health professionals about 35% are referred for ADHD, more than for any other condition. Those with ADHD often have problems in most areas of their life, including home, school, work, and in relationships.

“Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” is a neurological disorder that impacts individuals in four main categories:

  • Attention – causing people to have problems paying attention, focusing on a task, or finishing tasks, especially if they are not very interesting tasks.
  • Impulsivity – causing a lack of self-control. Impulsive behaviors, or choices, can cause havoc in relationships, work, school, or life.
  • Hyperactivity – Many (though not all) with ADHD are “bouncy” and hyperactive, always “on the go” and restless.
  • Easily Bored – Unless the task is very stimulating, like a video game or TV program or outside playing, those with attention disorders are often easily bored by a task – especially bored by homework, math tests, balancing checkbooks, or doing taxes, and many of these tasks just never get done.

ADHD: Children, teens, and adults can all suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

“Attention Deficit” impacts about 5% of children and teenagers, and about 3% of all adults. Recent studies show that as many as 9% of children have ADHD, but we are a bit more conservative with our numbers.
Less than half of children with ADD ever “out-grow” it in adolescence or adulthood. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood.
The disorder has different “looks” or “types.” This is discussed in great detail under the section the different types of ADHD.
For some it severely impacts behavior, and for others it greatly impacts learning. For the group in the middle, it just impacts their attention, focus, concentration, and getting the job done.

ADHD Comes in Different Types

Concerta Approved for Adult ADHD

The FDA was busy last week as it approved two drugs for use in adult disorders. The FDA approved the drug Concerta for use in adult ADHD, and approved the first generic versions of Risperdal (risperidone) tablets to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions. Here we will focus on the approval of Concerta for adults with ADHD.
Concerta is a CNS stimulant medication is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children 6 years of age and older, adolescents, and now adults up to the age of 65. It is thought that stimulants work by helping to increase dopamine and norepinephrine, and perhaps blood flow, in the brain.

  2. Any alternative to pharmacy has to be a positive thing for those who struggle with ADHD. I have read that brainwave entrainment combined with affirmations as well as nutrition can have a remarkable effect on this condition.
