Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the inability to concentrate, excessive activity and impulsivity. It can have a major negative impact on one’s life if not treated, so be sure to check if you have the symptoms presented in the next minutes.
The symptoms for ADHD are of 2 types: 1 - inattentiveness and 2 - hyperactivity and impulsivity.
The symptoms for inattentiveness:
1. Short attention span
People with ADHD have quite a problem in focusing on a specific action for too long.
2. Losing things
Did you usually forget your things at school or often lose your clothes, notebooks or other objects when you were a child?
3. Careless mistakes
People with ADHD tend to make hasty decisions and end up in situations they later regret.
4. Constantly changing activities
Children with ADHD tend to often switch from one passion to another. More serious problems can occur in adults, such as the inability to keep a job for too long or even the bankruptcy of the businesses they own.
The symptoms for hyperactivity and impulsivity:
5. They are the most energetic individuals in their group
They are also unable to sit still and they are constantly fidgeting and have an excessive physical movement.
6. Excessive talking and interrupting conversations
People with hyperactivity and impulsivity have an uncontrollable need to talk continuously.
7. Taking risks with little thought for the dangers
Although most children get small injuries, those who suffer from ADHD get injured abnormally often.
According to DSM-5, the Manual for Mental Disorders, for a person to be diagnosed with ADHD, the symptoms presented must be present for six months or more.
The most effective treatments for ADHD involve behavioural therapies or medication either alone or in combination.
