What is ADHD
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a brain-related disorder that occurs in both children and adults. But children are more likely to get this disease. With this disease, the behavior of man changes, and the memory also becomes weak.
In other words, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity means ADHD, not being able to use the ability to focus on something. It is believed that this deficiency occurs due to weakness of the brain due to the use of certain chemicals.
It is estimated that ADHD affects between 4% and 12% of school children. This happens more to boys than girls. According to the study, the number of patients with ADHD has been steadily increasing over the last 20 years. But the reason for the increase of this disease is also that it is being diagnosed in more people. Symptoms of this disease can be different in children and adults.
Types of ADHD
There are three types of ADHD -
1. Predominantly inattentive ADHD: If you have this type of ADHD, you may experience symptoms related to attention as compared to emotional and hyperactivity. You may experience impulse control or hyperactivity problems at some point, but these are not the main symptoms of attention-related ADHD.
2. Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD: This type of ADHD has symptoms of convulsions and hyperactivity. People with this type of ADHD may exhibit signs of attention, but these are not the main symptoms.
3. Combination ADHD If you have combination ADHD: it means that you do not have symptoms of attention-seeking ADHD or hyperactivity-type ADHD only. Rather, both categories have symptoms. Most people with or without ADHD experience some symptoms of attention or hyperactivity but are more severe in people with ADHD. These occur more frequently and interfere with the work of your home, school, work, and social situations.
