ADHD Management

Attention -Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a frequently occurring neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children, adolescents, and adults. This condition appears as patterns of inattention, excessive activity, impulsiveness, or a mix of the three. In most situations, ADHD is associated with children, but many people continue to experience symptoms as adults.


What Is ADHD?

ADHD is a disease that makes it difficult for the brain control attention, behaviour, and executive functions including planning, concentration, and controlling impulses. People with ADHD may have trouble keeping things in order, finishing work, paying attention, or staying motionless for lengthy periods of time.

ADHD symptoms

1.    Inattention

  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Forgetfulness
  • Losing things frequently
  • Trouble completing tasks
  • Getting distracted easily

2.    Hyperactivity

  • Restlessness
  • Excessive talking
  • Inability to sit still
  • Feeling “on the go” constantly

3.    Impulsivity

  • Acting without thinking
  • Interrupting others
  • Taking unnecessary risks

Causes of ADHD

    The exact reason is not understood, however there are a few things that play a role:

1. Genetics

    ADHD frequently runs in families. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with motivation and attention, is influenced by specific genes.

2.     Brain Structure & Function

    Research reveals variations in the parts of the brain in charge of impulse control and attention.

3.     Prenatal Factors

  • Maternal stress
  • Exposure to alcohol, nicotine, or toxins during pregnancy
  • Premature birth or low birth weight

4.     Environmental Influences

  • Childhood exposure to lead or pollutants
  • Poor sleep or chronic stress
    Poor parenting does not cause ADHD, however it may worsen symptoms in a stressful environment.
