ADD / ADHD |
|
ADD/ADHD is a diagnosis applied to children and adults who consistently display certain characteristic behaviors over a period of time. The most common core features include:
In order to meet diagnostic criteria, these behaviors must be excessive, long-term, and pervasive. A crucial consideration is that the behaviors must create a real handicap in at least two areas of a person's life, such as, at school, work, home, or social settings. These criteria set ADHD apart from the "normal" distractibility and impulsive behavior of childhood, or the effects of the hectic and overstressed lifestyle prevalent in today's society. ADHD is most likely caused by biological factors which influence neurotransmitter activity in certain parts of the brain. According to research, lower levels of activity in some parts of the brain may cause inattention and other ADHD symptoms. ADHD usually persists throughout a person's lifetime.
