Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Diagnosis and Treatment
Energy Business Reports, March 2009, Pages: 64
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, is one of the more common mental disorders that arise in children. Children with attention deficit disorder have difficulty functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood.
Though previously looked upon as a childhood disorder, ADHD can persist throughout adulthood. ADHD also has a strong genetic component.
If ADHD is suspected, a professional with training in ADHD is best equipped to make the diagnosis. This includes child psychiatrists, psychologists, developmental/behavioral pediatricians, behavioral neurologists, and clinical social workers. After eliminating other possible causes for the child’s behavior, the specialist generally checks the child’s school and medical records and talks to teachers and parents who have filled up out a behavior rating scale for the child. A diagnosis is made only after considering all of this information.
This report looks at ADHD, its treatment, symptoms, managing ADHD, ADHD in adults, and the genetic component behind ADHD.
