With ADHD?
The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the common disorders that are
commonly developed in children. Those who are affected may have multiple
impaired functioning at home, in relationships and at school. If left untreated, the
condition may have long-term difficult effects into adulthood stage. Mostly the
symptoms are: impulsiveness in which a child acts quickly without thinking,
hyperactivity in which a child cannot sit still and prefers to run and climb around
when other people are sitting still and inattention in which a child daydreams and
does not pay full attention when someone is talking to him.
The ADHD condition may be one of the traits that are found in humans. It is a
developmental disorder that range from 3 to 5 years of age. Children with ADHD
may have other conditions or illnesses aside from the ADHD itself. There are
conditions that may co-exist with ADHD. These are:
• Anxiety and Depression- people who are affected with this experience
extreme fear and dread emotional distress and a tendency to avoid
situations.
• Conduct disorder- the child may steal, lie, fight or bully others. Also, he or
she may break into homes, carry or use weapons and may destroy property.
These children may use illegal drugs and substances. They may have trouble
with the police or at school.
• Tourette syndrome- among those who have this disorder, they have
nervous tics and repetitive mannerisms like eye blinks, grimacing, and facial
twitches. It is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder. It starts in childhood and
is characterized by tics and phonic tic. There are those who clear their
throats, sniff and snort frequently.
These conditions may occur together with ADHD. Aside from these, the substance
abuse and other illnesses may also be involved. If suspected, ADHD should not be
taken for granted. This should be treated through child psychiatrist, psychologists,
and other experts in this field.
