The 's Behavioral Problems With Adhd

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 (ADHD) seems to be the affliction of this generation of children. It seems more prevalent every year. However, diagnosis criteria for ADHD is so subjective, what qualifies, who qualifies? There is no specific clinical cause for ADHD but it obviously exists. So many questions remain to be answered about ADHD. Are more children really being diagnosed with ADHD annually and is it really on the rise as it appears? Are too many children being wrongly diagnosed with ADHD as an easy way out because of other behavioral problems? And when ADHD is properly diagnosed are we overmedicating our children to make it easier for parents and teachers to cope? How often are other afflictions

ADHD is indeed a part of the Western Culture. People are familiar with the term, treatment and some behaviors that ‘shows’ its existence; and since it has become part of the culture itself it is considered as something relatively normal -or at least common.

Or are we as humans trying to narrow our behaviors in the way where anyone who is not as ‘efficient’ as us are considered to be ‘sick’?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”) is a common childhood disorder that represents developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity and overactivity. It occurs in 3% to 5% of the school age population as stated by (Craighead, Craighead, Kazdin & Mahoney, 1994). Another author (Barkley, 1981) stated that ADHD occurs in at least one child in every classroom. As a result of these statistics, ADHD has become one of the most commonly referred and heavily studied psychological disorders of childhood. Studies show that about 50-60% of children with ADHD in the age range of five to seven years are hostile and defiant. By the

ADHD is not just an ordinary disorder. It is also hard to diagnose someone because it has the same symptoms like the other disorders. This really affects many domains in the life of a person having this disorder. There’s no difference in adult ADHD and child ADHD. Only the way their symptoms manifest in their lives. It takes a long process so it can be treated. Medications, counselling and other treatments is not enough to treat this disorder. Support of the family and friends may help to treat this condition. Maybe it’s not that grave like the other disorder, but there’s still a need of further study and focus.

Behavior disorder is defined as “Any of various forms of behavior that are considered inappropriate by members of the social group to which an individual belongs.” (The American Heritage Stedman 's Medical Dictionary, 2015) Due to its broad definition, methods of identification, diagnosis, and treatments are varied and controversial. After my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in November of 2012, I recognized a stigma within the community surrounding behavior disorders that made it difficult to find the appropriate support for my son and my family. This paper will discuss the causes of behavior disorders, methods for proper identification, and problems that can arise in the home, school, and community of a child with a behavior disorder.

Normal people have flexible divided attention so as to do more than one task at the same time. They can also ignore the information that are not relevant.

The problem of ADHD is mainly known in the developed world. In other countries, especially in developing countries, no due attention has been given to ADHD. Thus, there is no enough data available how other countries deal with ADHD. However, when it comes, mental illness cultural attitudes and practices differs from culture to culture. For instance, in Korea, “Parents and teachers tend to focus more on children’s academic achievement and take children’s distractive behaviors as a negative reflection on themselves and their authority.
