What Are The Symptoms Of ADHD?

Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is mainly characterized by hyperactive condition and restlessness and these conditions are considered the major symptoms of ADHD, but for giving more comprehensive account on this topic these symptoms can be categorized into three groups including:

1- Hyperactivity

2- Inattention

3- Impulsivity

1- Hyperactivity

Hyperactivity is characterized by continuous restlessness in nature of a child suffering from ADHD. Such state of activity is more noticeable in schooling period of such suffering children where they show constant restlessness and hypertension during taking a class. These suffering children feel difficulty in being seated for a long time or in taking part quiet playing activities. They used to jump over desks, benches and other furniture present there and also talk excessively with no meaning words. Such undisciplined behavior often results in corporal punishments from parents and teachers to make him stop doing these activities which further complicated his disturbed mental state rather than making him getting back to normal life flow.   

2- Inattention

Inattention is another noticeable symptoms present in ADHD suffering patient. This kind of inattentive behavior can be seen in school activities, social gathering and other work places where a patient feel difficulty in paying attention, focusing over things for a long time, listening to other attentively, finishing tasks timely and being organized in routine activities etc. This inattentive behavior results in forgetfulness, poor learning abilities, falling grades in class, committing mistakes over and again and showing poor discipline in daily activities in ADHD suffering child.        

3- Impulsivity

Impulsivity is uncontrolled response from a suffering patient on various occasions in the form of excessive talk, interrupting others during conversation, meaningless sentences, impatience and difficulty in taking part in social activities. These things lead towards developing inferiority complex in such child who thinks that nobody cares for him and he can’t do anything properly. Finally he gets himself isolated from others and makes the world of his own with severe depression and anxiety problems. Such child must be given proper attention from his parents, caregivers and teachers to keep him away from getting lost in his inner dark world with prevailing depressive thoughts and negative thinking all around.      

So if your child is manifesting these symptoms continuously then don’t neglect it as normal state of life and consult to a psychiatrist or mental health care professional in order to take proper treatment for dealing with this attention deficit disorder (ADD).

What Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – A Brief Overview

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is often called attention deficit disorder or hyperactivity. It can affects all including children, adolescents and teens. According to an estimate by national institute or mental health (NIMH) almost 4% to 5% children suffer from this kind of hyperactivity disorder.

Children and adults suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder show various symptoms according to their age level like children can have problems in focusing over things, following instructions and fulfilling given tasks or school assignments. Moreover they have constant body movements and show inability to think over an action before doing it. In such cases doing anything without thinking over t can be dangerous to their life and can cause serious injuries. Adults suffering from ADHD may have management and organizational problems. Such persons also face difficulty in completing the assigned tasks or projects.

Along with disturbing cognitive and managing skills of a sufferer ADHD also have deep impact over relationships, a person with ADHD is not able to develop relations in his personal life as well as in his social circle. Such loneliness further deteriorates the patient’s condition and enhances the chances of involving into drug abuse to quit or mitigate his depression and anxiety.

Types of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) ADHD can be subdivided into three categories including:

1- ADHD Combined type

2- ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type

3- ADHD Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

But Amen Clinics in California, Virginia and Washington has revealed that ADHD can be divided into six more subtypes rather than three. Actually it further subdivided the three major types of ADHD described by DMS-IV. The six categories are subdivided into Classic ADHD, Inattentive ADHD, Overfocused ADHD, Temporal ADHD, Limbic ADHD and The Ring of Fire. Each of these types carries basic symptoms of ADHD along with their specific symptoms.

Firstly classic ADHD have specific hyperactivity, secondly Inattentive ADHD show low energy movements, thirdly Overfocused ADHD causes negative thinking and behavior, fourthly temporal ADHD causes irritability and learning problems, fifthly limbic ADHD causes depression and decreased motivation while lastly The Ring of Fire involves aggression and anger in patient’s behavior.                   

Amen has concluded this research on the basis of thousands of SPECTs (single photon emission computed tomography) which involves brain scanning of mentally retarded people. This technique is also applied to diagnose other mental disorder including Alzheimer’s disease but in case of ADHD it helps to get the final result along with other basic diagnostic techniques. It means that it helps in diagnostic techniques applied for detecting the presence of ADHD in a person showing respective symptoms.
