Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.4K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.

Adrenal Gland Disorders

3.6K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Child Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder in children, affecting 5-10% of school-aged individuals.
  • Characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, ADHD significantly impairs social behavior and academic performance.
  • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) criteria aid in diagnosing three ADHD subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.
  • To highlight diagnostic criteria, common co-morbidities, and management strategies.
  • To emphasize the role of general practitioners in early identification and guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and diagnostic criteria (DSM-5) for ADHD.
  • Discussion of common co-occurring conditions such as learning disabilities and anxiety disorders.
  • Overview of management approaches including parent/teacher education, behavioral therapy, and pharmacotherapy.

Main Results:

  • ADHD presents with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, impacting children's functioning.
  • Co-morbidities are frequent, complicating diagnosis and management.
  • Methylphenidate and Atomoxetine are effective pharmacological treatments.
  • A significant percentage (30-60%) of children with ADHD continue to exhibit symptoms into adulthood.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive management involving education, therapy, and medication is essential for ADHD.
  • General practitioners are vital for early detection, assessment, and parental support.
  • Continued symptoms into adulthood underscore the long-term nature of ADHD.
