If not diagnosed or properly treated, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is one of the most impairing disorders to grow up with.
In children, aside from their academic performance, ADHD can impact their social and emotional well-being. As they grow into adults without the proper treatment, ADHD can negatively affect their job performance, relationships, mental health and even their ability to drive.
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are both common types of childhood disorders. Initially, they used to be two (2) distinct types of disorder. Although ADD is often confused with ADHD, it is actually the term used to diagnose someone who has trouble focusing, but does not display hyperactive behavior.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is believed back then to be a condition among children which they can grow out of as they become adults. Today, it has been proven that it is a condition that can span throughout patients’ lives from childhood to adulthood.
Although Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is genetically acquired, that doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything about it. After all, it can be also environmental. You may not have any control on your genes, but you totally have control on your diet or your sleeping habits. These factors also contribute greatly on ADHD symptoms.
