Overview

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. This disorder primarily manifests itself as hyperactivity and difficulty in being hyperactive and attentive.

Many people are careless and their energy levels are variable, but they are more frequent and larger in people with ADHD. Although this behavioral disorder is more common in children, it can also occur in adults. One of the characteristics of people with this disorder is that they can't stay still.

Why does ADHD happen?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder. This is due to a decrease in dopamine chemicals, and the brain's metabolism is weaker in the areas that control attention and social judgment. Although the exact cause has not been found, people with ADHD have some common features.

Characteristics

Characteristicsof people with ADHD Most of them have low levels of dopamine (a chemical found in the brain) and the relevant part of the brain that controls social judgment works relatively less than other parts. These people have less social skills than their peers.

Some children with ADHD run right-to-left unnecessarily and move constantly. They also talk a lot more than they need to when they talk about a topic, and they tell us unnecessary details.

While doing these things, they're usually in motion.

This discomfort is sometimes silent, frightening, spontaneous, slow and fluctuating.

These two things seem to contradict each other. An important point here is the symptoms, which are far beyond the average age of the patient.

ADHD in children

ADHD is extremely common in children. If your child unnecessarily runs right to left and is constantly in motion, speaks too much than necessary, is unable to stay calm and plays hands and feet, it may indicate attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

A child in this condition should be examined by a specialist doctor. Children with ADHD are constantly in motion, cannot listen to others, can't play quiet games, are easily distracted, often interrupt others, try to run and climb without purpose, talk a lot, lose and forget things, have trouble completing tasks, and often start to care about other things.

In general, approximately 20 to 60 percent of children with ADHD have learning difficulties, but each child who has ADHD experiences some kind of learning difficulty, even at different levels, due to impulsiveness and lack of attention. The diagnosis of hyperactivity requires that the child is 6 years of age or older and the symptoms of hyperaktivity have been shown for more than 6 months.

Adult ADHD

Although hyperactivity disorder begins in childhood, the underlying neurophysiological changes continue in adulthood. In about half of the cases, behavioral symptoms can also be seen in adults. Although it is difficult to recognize until adolescence or adulthood, some symptoms may appear before the age of twelve.

Adult hyperactivity, unlike in young children, may include difficulty concentrating, difficulty completing tasks, impatience, rush, and difficulties inining relationships. Adult hyperactivity, unlike in young children, may include difficulty concentrating, difficulty completing tasks, impatience, rush, and difficulties inining relationships.

ADHD is typically about twice as common in males, but varies depending on the type of prevalence.

The hyperactive type is 2 to 9 times more common in both sexes, and the primary type of attention deficit is evenly distributed.

ADHD usually comes from the family. Unfortunately, there is no single test or test for diagnosis. Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder are a major disorder that affects the child's social interaction and academic achievement.

ADHD Treatment

Different approaches are used in the treatment of ADHD in children and adults. In the treatment of ADHD, medication is considered in advanced cases. Generally, drugs that increase dopamine levels in the brain are used to facilitate concentration.

In addition, the doctor, the family and the school must work together for treatment. The living space for each child is planned according to the priorities and abilities of the family. It is very important to inform the child about his or her problems without hurting him or her, to approve treatment and to provide support.

In behavioral approaches, education and medicine are mixed up. It is not necessary for every child to take medication. Because the drugs are used under doctor's supervision, there are no serious side effects and dependence.

It makes it easier to focus and control yourself. The lessons, experiences and information learned under the influence of the medication remain with the child/adult.

Measures to take to deal with ADHD

Rules to put in place, hang them in place and apply them, Reward mechanism, Make or receive feedback, Accepting that failure is normal in addition to success, Concentrate on multiplying the number of achievements, acknowledge that ADHD is a character problem, not a biological problem

Conclusion

The earlier it is assessed, the more secondary problems in academic life, such as difficulties, anger, and unhappiness, can be prevented. Medicines are effective for as long as the child or the adult takes the medicines. Drugs make it easier for him to learn, socialize, concentrate, and control himself.

The lessons, experiences and information learned under the influence of the medication remain with the child/adult. ADHD is a manageable disease. In hyperactivity disorder, healing occurs through remembering experiences, gaining awareness and self-discipline.
