Help for ADHD
ADHD is the abbreviated form for the condition that is called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This condition is regarded as being a disorder that impacts the brain, as the person with this type of disorder has difficulty at times when it’s necessary to pay attention, control behavior, or sit still. Children often experience this condition at a relatively young age, however, teens can experience ADHD as well. This condition can also continue to impact a person well into a person’s adult years.
When a child has ADHD, the child often may be inattentive, as the child becomes distracted quite easily. The child may have difficulty finishing various tasks and may not be able to follow instructions well. The child may seem to not listen to others, especially those in authority. Due to the child not being able to pay attention, mistakes that are careless may be made frequently. The child may often experience forgetfulness concerning activities on a daily basis. The child will also experience problems organizing tasks that must be done at various times. The child will often dislike engaging in activities where there’s a need to remain in a still position for an extended period of time. It’s a frequent occurrence for the child to lose personal belongings, and the child may spend a significant amount of time daydreaming.
Children with ADHD can often be impulsive and hyperactive. It’s normal for them to bounce, fidget and squirm when they must sit down. They cannot remain in their seats for a long period of time. They find it difficult to play in a quiet manner. They must be moving constantly. This includes climbing on their surroundings or running. They talk non-stop and it can seem like their motor never shuts off. They don’t like to wait to take turns, and quite frequently interrupt others and blurt out responses.
Adults who have ADHD often show up late and get frustrated as a result of being forgetful in many instances. They can suffer from low self-esteem as well as anxiety. They often may experience problems in their jobs and may have a hard time controlling their anger. They may be prone to substance abuse as well as impulsiveness.
