Children : Causes, And Causation Of ADHD In Children

ADHD is a very common neurodevelopment disorder of childhood. It is usually diagnosed in late childhood, around the age of seven by the teachers. The symptoms are typical during ages 3-6 and if not treated properly becomes chronic and persists even after entering adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, staying organized and controlling impulsive behaviors. It is very difficult to diagnose and when undiagnosed the children can grow to be mislabeled as trouble makers in their adulthood.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder has a complicated and interesting history and because of that it is important to understands this disorders implications and comorbidity to better treat and diagnose it. Research done by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that 11% of the US population between the ages of 4-17 are affected with ADHD; that’s 6.4 million children and the prevalence of diagnosis is only increasing (2016). It was generally assumed that ADHD was something children would grow out of but new studies show that approximately 4% of the adult population in the US are still suffering from ADHD or have developed ADHD (Breyer, J. L., Lee, S., Winters, K. C., August, G. J., & Realmuto, G. M. 2014). ADHD is

There is not enough evidence whether these things impact a child in having ADHD or not (CDC, 2017). This shows the reader that the speaker is trustworthy because it reflects an ethical view of all possible causes. Appealing to ethics is a big component in influencing the reader. A reader must be able to trust the writer is being ethical, in order to trust the information.

The webpage seems to want to provide quality information to the user. There is a lot of information provided, so much that at times it doesn’t seem to flow well. At other times it was difficult or seemed time consuming to locate specific information. For example we can talk about the symptoms portion. From the main page you must scroll halfway down and select a link titled “Symptoms & Diagnosis” under the ADHD Guide section. From there the reader will be taken to a portion that is titled “Is it ADHD”. It provides four different subsections to choose from. Once the audience selects one of these four they will be taken to a page detailing the symptoms for the topic selected. These topics range from common symptoms to those displayed in adults. Once the reader does find the symptoms page they are spread across multiple continuation pages. The information could have been all placed on one webpage, but WebMD has decided to have a series of distracting, related content type links, at the bottom of each webpage. This is another issue that should be addressed. There is too many hyperlinks that are spread throughout the website. The hyperlinks surround the information the reader is trying to obtain. They can be found on both sides of the topic being researched, as well as the top and bottom. On the homepage alone about 22 links alone can be found on the right side. This can be very distracting for a

The increase of ADHD diagnosis has raised many concerns among doctors in the United States. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported new data that showed the number of children diagnosed with ADHD grew by 22 percent in a four-year period Brown University, (2013). The information from the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) raised questions and concerns about the growth of ADHD diagnosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also stated that the percentage of children with a diagnosis of ADHD continue to increase in the United States. This information was provided by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to inform the public and raise awareness for ADHD. Researching the growth of

The core purpose of the CDC Website about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is to educate the public generally and then specifically to inform parents of children that might be suffering from ADHD. There are many unanswered questions about ADHD, and the CDC attempts to dispel some of the myths about the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of the disorder. They present highly logical information through the use of statistics and state by state comparisons. Additionally, there are a few appeals to one’s emotions, suggesting that parental negligence is not the cause of the disorder. Although the dry, mundane tone detracts from the appeal of the website, the inferential

Foster child, Annalisa Carrion, was replaced from the non-kinship therapeutic foster home of Carmen Arvelo and Miguel Quiles (Ms. Arvelo’s husband) on June 22nd, 2015. A report was received on June 26th, 2015 with the allegation of laceration, bruises, welts, and inadequate guardianship regarding Annalisa Carrion against Miguel Quiles.

There has been so much controversy around the diagnosis of ADHD. There is also a big debate about whether a child has a disorder or not. There is also a huge controversy over whether a parent should give their child the medication that a doctor prescribes for the disorder. Once parents finally decide to place their child on the medicine. They are making the decision that they feel is the best option for their child. Other parents may decide that other treatment options may be better to begin with to see if they cannot fix the problem therapeutically instead. Parents that decide that medicine is the best route may feel that their child would benefit from it, and that benefits outweigh the risks. Whereas to parents that decide otherwise; feel that their child is not that severe with the ADHD, and can handle trying other ways to deal

Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a widely diagnosed disorder among people, and with a multitude of sources to choose form, it can become difficult to find credible information. From social media to self-diagnoses websites, ADHD is discussed in detail throughout the internet. With all this information, one might think it is easy to become educated. This may not be the case, especially for a widely popular topic such as ADHD. One must have the right methods of choosing reliable and credible resources. A prime example of a reliable resource is the National Institution of Mental Health’s webpage (NIMH) on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The NIMH’s webpage is a credible source because it provides accurate, authoritative,

The topic of today is Attention deficit hyperactive disorder also known as ADHD. When individuals research this topic there are an array of sources to choose from. One way is by the use of the internet which provides individuals with the needed resources. However, not all resources are created equal. The resources that are provided may be complex and without a certain level of medical understanding, an individual may not

ADHD has an effect on the child’s overall development. It doesn’t impact them as much as some disorders do, but it does take effect. It has no effect on their language and as far as my research shows, it has little or no effect on their self-help skills either, however it does effect the cognitive, and fine motor domains. About half of all the children who have ADHD also have a learning disability. “Among the children who did not have a learning disability, children with ADHD had more learning problems than children without ADHD, indicating that children with ADHD had some difficulty with learning even though they did not meet the criteria for LD.” (Learning disabilities and ADHD: Overlapping spectrum disorders. Journal of Learning Disabilities)

1. A. Please describe the cause of ADHD and how that might be compatible with a medication intervention?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects children of all ages, and approximately five percent of children worldwide show decreased levels of attention and hyperactivity (Biederman, 1991). There are three subtypes of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined inattentive and hyperactive (Barkley, 2014). Clinically significant ADHD is often associated with simultaneous rebellious and disruptive behavior, temper tantrums, anxiety, low self-esteem, and learning disabilities.

The diagnostic manuals can also help clinicians with accuracy if the manuals include another criterion – delirium. Those with ADHD do not suffer from delirium, only if they are comorbid. Referring to Morton (1999) again, though he is referencing the DSM-IV, there is still much relevance, he describes delirium as a “potentially fatal syndrome marked by severe, fluctuating confusion and autonomic nervous system instability” as the result of “Changes in dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin levels” which can also “be accompanied by psychotic symptoms” (pg. 111). It was suggested that clinicians use “nonaddictive, psychopharmacologic treatments for comorbid and secondary psychiatric disorders” (pg. 112).

For the most part the interesting thing I found regarding this article is that kids with severe ADHD were also more capable of staying focused and engaged while listening to the music during work time. It seems as if teacher and children benefits from playing some classical music in the classroom during certain times of the day.
