Ritalin has been over used for too many years when dealing with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cases or similar diagnosis that called for it. One of the major reasons that Ritalin isn’t prescribed as much anymore is because there have been several cases where it would cause more damage than good for the patients that were taking the medication. Another reason is that several parents that had children sensitive to the medication would not listen to their children until they had to act out and show how much they medication was causing them problems. When this would happen they were seen as trouble maker children or students that would act out for no reason or just to get attention.

There thankfully is treatment for children that suffer from ADHD. Treatment is very helpful for symptoms, behavior problems, and functional performance of the individual. One treatment that people choose to use is behavioral therapy to see if their child could learn to cope with ADHD without having to take medication.

Treatment often involves seven to twelve weekly sessions and has demonstrated improved child behavior and parent satisfaction (Felt and Beirmann, 2014).

When given the option to choose a condition to write a paper on I was immediately drawn to ADD and ADHD because these conditions are something that has had a direct effect on my life.

I wasn’t alone in my diagnosis, my little sister, my husband and my daughter all have ADHD.

In the video titled, “Why Can’t You Behave?” the client Julian suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and has impairments of body functions and structures, activity and participation limitations, and has environmental as well as personal factors that are present, which impacts his daily functions. Julian demonstrates the inability to remain calm, or to sit still during any daily activity due to being hyperactive. According to the video, “Julian was a very restless boy, he was so hyperactive he couldn’t sit still through a meal”, so daily tasks such as sitting and learning in a traditional classroom setting, and being able to sit still long enough to complete any homework assignments were all challenges that Julian faced due to suffering from ADHD. From the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) checklist, under the mental functions section b140 attention would be considered as a complete impairment of Julian’s body functions due to difficulties focusing attention on organizing and completing a task. Since Julian also shows difficulty processing information and difficulty listening when spoken to, the brain in section s110 of the ICF would be a body structure noted as having impairments for function.
