There are 3 types of ADHD
ADHD combined (the most common type), which involves all of the symptoms
ADHD mainly inattentive (Previously known as ADD), which is marked by impaired attention and concentration
ADHD mainly hyperactive-impulsive, which is marked by hyperactivity without inattentiveness
ADHD stands for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, this is common in children and teenagers, but some adults can also have ADHD but there can be some variation in symptoms. An adult may experience restlessness instead of hyperactivity, and consistently have problems with interpersonal relationships and employment. ADD stands for attention deficit disorder.
Inattention may not become apparent until a child starts school, in adults inattention can manifest at work or in social situations.
For a diagnose your GP or a Teacher can refer your child to a specialist team for an assessment. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published guidelines on diagnosis and treatments for ADHD for the NHS.
A person with ADHD may have some or all of the following symptoms:
Difficulty paying attention to details and a tendency to make careless mistakes in school or other activities.
Easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli and frequently interrupting ongoing tasks
Inability to sustain attention on tasks or activities
Difficulty finishing schoolwork or paperwork or performing tasks that require concentration
Frequent shifts from one uncompleted activity to another
Procrastination
Dis-organised work habits
Forgetfulness in daily activities
Failure to complete tasks
Frequent shifts in conversation, not listening to others, not following details or rules of activities in social situations
Hyperactivity symptoms may be apparent in very young pre-school infants and are nearly always present before the age of 7.
Fidgeting, squirming when seated
Getting up frequently to walk or run around
Running or climbing excessively when it's inappropiate
Having difficulty playing quietly or engaging in quiet leisure activities
Always being on the go
Often talking excessively
A class of medication called central nervous system stimulants, is a highly effective treatment for children with ADHD. These treatments help 70% to 80% of children with focusing their thoughts and ignore distractions.
They are a class A drug and some experts are worried about the effects (Methylphenidate and dexamfetamine) and the damage to cardiovascular and nervous system. Methylphenidate's manufacturers state that the drug should only be given to children over the age of 6 and that it should be stopped after a while in order to check that it is working properly.
Another drug being used is atomoxetine this is also for children over 6 years old and has had some great effects on children with ADHD, but in 2005 the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency issued a public health advisory about rare reports of suicidal thinking in children and adolescents taking atomoxetine.
It really concerns me that children are given such horrible drugs. I have been in meetings with a few colleague's and we have looked at data from America and have now established a combination that works and is 100% natural and won't damage the cardiovascular system or nervous system, or give awful suicidal thoughts.
