Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

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.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Psychology
Behavioral Science

Background:

Routines and habits are crucial for daily functioning.
Individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often face challenges in executive functions, impacting routine adherence.
Existing literature on ADHD and its relationship with routines and habits is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scoping review of current literature on routines and habits in individuals with ADHD.
To identify areas of daily routines most affected by ADHD in children and adults.
To explore existing assessments and interventions related to routines and habits in ADHD.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was performed across four databases: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO.
Keywords included "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," "ADHD," "routine," "habit," and "lifestyle."
A scoping review methodology was employed to map the existing research.

Main Results:

Difficulties in ADHD were identified in four main domains: sleep hygiene, feeding, physical activity, and sedentary behaviors.
Sleep hygiene was the most frequently addressed domain, while study habits were notably underrepresented.
No validated assessments specifically for ADHD routines/habits were found; existing measures were often non-validated or project-specific.
The majority of studies focused on pediatric populations, with limited research on adults with ADHD.

Conclusions:

Significant gaps exist in the literature regarding routines and habits in individuals with ADHD, especially in adults.
There is a need for the development of validated assessments to measure routines and habits in ADHD populations.
Future research and interventions should specifically target the unique challenges faced by individuals with ADHD in establishing and maintaining routines and habits.
