Deficit Disorder Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
What is it?
The hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder is more commonly seen problem in children and is based on symptoms of inattention ( very distracted person) and hyperactivity ( very active person , sometimes hectic , well beyond the ordinary ) . These aspects are usually found in people without the problem , but to be the diagnosis of this disorder to inattention and hyperactivity must significantly interfere in the life and normal development of the child or adult.
Who has ?
It is estimated that approximately 3-6 % of school age children (about 6-12 years old ) exhibit hyperactivity and / or attention deficit disorder. Diagnosis before four or five years is rarely done , because the behavior of children at this age is very variable, and attention is required not so much older children. Even so , some children develop the disorder a very early age. Approximately 60 % of patients with ADHD in childhood remain with symptoms in adulthood , although to a lesser degree of intensity. In childhood , the disorder is more common in boys and hyperactivity symptoms predominate . Over the years , the symptoms of hyperactivity tend to decrease , remaining most frequently inattention , and decreasing the proportion x man woman, who happens to be one to one .
How it develops ?
Usually the problem is most noticeable when the child starts learning activities at school, by teachers of the lower grades , where adjustment to school shows up compromised . During early adolescence the box usually remains the same, with predominantly academic problems , but in late adolescence and early adulthood, the disorder may be associated with conduct problems ( bad behavior ) and problems and work relationships with others . However , in late adolescence and early adulthood occurs global improvement of symptoms , especially hyperactivity , which allows many patients do not require more adults receiving pharmacological treatment for the symptoms .
What cause?
More recent studies point to genetics as primary cause -related disorder . Approximately 75 % of the chances that someone will develop or not ADHD is inherited from parents . Besides genetic , external situations such as smoking during pregnancy also appear to be related to the disorder . Organic factors such as delayed ripening of certain brain areas , and changes in some of its circuits are currently related to the onset of symptoms . It is assumed that all these factors form a basic predisposition ( organic ) the individual to develop the problem , which may ultimately manifest when a person is subjected to a more demanding concentration and performance . Furthermore , exposure to stressful psychological events such as a disruption in family equilibrium , or other factors causing anxiety, can act as triggers or maintainers of symptoms .
How to Manifest ?
We have three groups of children (and adults ) with this problem. A first group shows a predominance of inattention , another has a prevalence of hyperactivity / impulsivity and the third presents both inattention and hyperactivity . It is very important to bear in mind that a " degree " of inattention and hyperactivity disorder usually occurs in people, nor why they have the disorder . To say that the person actually has this problem , inattention and / or hyperactivity must occur in such a way to interfere with the individual's social relationships in their school life or at work . Additionally , the symptoms must necessarily occur in school ( or at work, in the case of adults) and also at home. For example , a child who " all ready " at home but behaves well in school , probably does not have hyperactivity . What might be happening is a lack of boundaries ( in education ) at home . At school , answered the placement of boundaries , behaving appropriately in the classroom .
In the adult , to have this diagnosis , you need to research which shows that he already had the symptoms before 7 years of age .
What are the symptoms of inattention person ?
A person shows inattention to the point of being considered as attention deficit disorder , when you have most of the following symptoms occurring most of the time on their activities :
often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in school , work, or other activities ;
often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or recreational activities ;
often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork , chores, or professional duties , not reaching the end of the tasks ;
often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities ;
often avoids , dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or homework ) ;
often loses things necessary for tasks or activities ;
is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli main task is running ;
is often forgetful in daily activities ;
What are the symptoms of people with hyperactivity ?
A person may submit hyperactivity disorder when most of the following symptoms becomes a constant occurrence in your life :
often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat ;
often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected ;
often runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate (in adolescents or adults , that can not happen , but let the other person a sense of constant restlessness) ;
often has difficulty playing or engaging quietly in leisure activities ;
is often "on the go" or often acts as if "driven by a motor" ;
often talks excessively .
In addition to the previous symptoms related to excess activity in people with hyperactivity , the other to what is called impulsivity , which is related to the following symptoms may occur :
often blurts out answers before questions have been completed ;
often has difficulty awaiting turn ;
often interrupts or intrudes on others (eg , butting into conversations or games of colleagues ) .
Importance of medical treatment for those with the disorder .
There are several reasons that prove to be of great medical importance to diagnose and treat the child ( or adult ) with the disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder .
First , it is important to make the treatment of this disorder so that the child does not grow stigmatized as " rowdy class " or or " bum " or as the "terror of teachers ."
Second, so that the child does not get for years with impaired development in school and in their social life , lagging behind the other colleagues in an increasingly competitive society .
Third, it is important to make a treatment of the disorder to try to minimize future consequences of the problem , as the propensity to drug use (which is relatively frequent in adolescents and adults with the problem ) , mood disorders (depression , mainly) and disorder of conduct .
How is it diagnosed ?
The diagnosis should be made by a generally neurologist trained health professional , pediatrician or psychiatrist . Diagnosis may be aided by some psychological or neuropsychological tests, especially in borderline cases , as in adults , but even children, for proper monitoring of treatment .
How is it?
The treatment involves the use of medication , usually a specific psycho- stimulant for the central nervous system, use of some antidepressants or other medications. There should be a monitoring of the progress of therapy through family and school . Besides drug therapy , psychotherapy should be maintained , in most cases , the need to care for the child ( or adult) due to behavior change that must occur with improvement of symptoms , because of advice that should make parents and for treatment of any specific development problem that can be associated .
A key aspect of this treatment is to keep the child , his family and his teachers , because it is necessary to help the child to restructure your environment , reducing your anxiety . An almost universal requirement is to help parents recognize that the permittivity is not helpful to the child , but using a clear and predictable rewards and punishments model based on behavioral therapies , child development can be better monitored.
