Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is an increasing problem among children. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Disorders or DSM is considered as a bible to diagnose the disorder. The manual is used extensively by American pediatrics to find out the presence of this disorder. People have raised eyebrows when it comes to the diagnostic methods mentioned in the manual because they are based on a set of questions and not on clinical tests. Many experts now believe that these methods are highly subjective and often lead to an under or over diagnosis.

ADHD manifests itself through a lot of symptoms like allergies, food intolerance, hearing difficulties, learning problems etc. These symptoms are also associated with other disorders too, and their presence does not necessarily mean that the child is going through ADHD. That is why it is very important to confirm that the child is showing symptoms of ADHD only. A number of physical and psychological tests are conducted in order to rule out other possibilities before an occurrence of ADHD is confirmed.

Once ADHD is confirmed, the child undergoes neurological tests which often involve the parents too. Questionnaires form an integral part of this exercise. Parents are asked different questions to collect information on different things associated with the disorder. The questions basically revolve around the frequency of symptoms and duration of occurrence. The treatment includes psychostimulants which are banned for children below 4 years of age. Unfortunately, many doctors ignore the ban and treat children below the permissible age with these stimulants. This is actually illegal, and should not be promoted.

Experts, while screening the disorder, also see the child’s behavior in different situations. In order to find the behavior pattern during school hours, teachers are often called for an interview. The questionnaire designed for them focuses on the child’s responses in his or her school. Sufficient information is gathered from the teachers to get an idea about the learning abilities of the child. Usually, learning abilities are hampered by ADHD. In order to reduce subjectivity to the minimum, experts have emphasized on using direct and relevant questions only. No matter what techniques are used to determine a case of ADHD, it is difficult to get a precise result, and more often it is left to the judgment of the experts carrying out the test.

Some experts totally rely on psychostimulants for the treatment of ADHD, but many of them are now shifting to behavioral therapy. The best results are achieved with a combination of these two. Psychostimulants are usually habit forming, and a child using them can get addicted to these medicines. They also have some side effects like loss of sleep and appetite. Due to all these side effects, parents and doctors are looking for better methods to treat ADHD.

ADHD is a sensitive issue, and it should be dealt with utmost care. One needs to verify the authenticity of the doctors, tests and medications before starting any form of treatment.

In one area at the base of the brain (brainstem and the most primitive parts of the brain), which among other wakefulness is regulated by activating neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. It is believed that the brains of people with ADHD acts as’ a tired brain. ” Awake unit is reduced.

The brain’s frontal lobes (frontal lobes) to control the brain regulates impulses and is responsible for planning and overview (executive functions). The reduced activity in the frontal lobes results in decreased ability to inhibit impulses, and to give an overview.

In an area behind the brain (cerebellum), where signal to noise ratio is controlled and regulated. There are theories that the brain is usually able to sort stimuli or distinguish ‘signal’ and ‘noise’. The ability is affected in individuals with ADHD.
