What is ADHD?
ADHD affects attention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity in individuals of all ages, especially children. While some may not be diagnosed until adulthood, symptoms typically appear in early childhood. In adults, symptoms may be less apparent. Even without a formal diagnosis, hyperactivity may decrease while other symptoms persist. ADHD Treatment may involve talk therapy, medication, and addressing co-occurring mental health concerns.
POSSIBLE NEGATIVE EFFECTS WITH ADHD
Untreated ADHD in children can lead to serious behavioral concerns for parents.
It may result in poor school performance and declining grades due to lack of concentration.
In adolescence, it can lead to challenges with driving and obtaining a license.
It significantly impacts social skills, potentially elevating the risk of depression and anxiety disorders.
Treatment for ADHD, in both adults and children, focuses on impulse control, social skills, and emotional regulation.
ADHD involves more than difficulty concentrating or sitting still; it may lead to a higher risk of other conditions.
Studies suggest a link between ADHD and conditions like loss of control eating syndrome (LOC-ES) and educational and employment challenges.
