What are ADHD symptoms?

ADHD is an abbreviation for disorder of attention hyperactivity, a condition characterized by poor attention and predisposition to hyperactivity. Although ADHD is classified as a condition that is a neurological origin, it is important to realize that this is not a form of mental illness or genetic defect. In fact, this term should only describe a certain set of behavior, not for progressive or degenerative neurological disease. In addition, ADHD, formerly known simply as ADD, may or may not actually include hyperactivity in conjunction with limited attention range. Doctors and teachers are therefore left to evaluate on the basis of a demonstration of certain symptoms of ADHD. These include generally difficulty in staying on the task, easily distract, manifest forgetting and manifesting compulsive behavior. The first symptoms of ADHD usually occur in children in seven ages. Since so many cases are undetected due to lack of professional observation, diagnosis cannot bedo until the child reaches elementary school.

In order to achieve a confirmed diagnosis, the patient must expose six or more symptoms of ADHD associated with ADHD associated with ADHD that are:

• mostly hyperactive impulsive
• combined inattentive and hyperactive impulsive

In addition, these symptoms must remain consistent for at least six months and significantly affect home and school performance.
