In this video, we will cover what Is the Difference Between ADD And ADHD.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, bouts of excessive energy, hyper-fixation, and impulsivity, which are otherwise not appropriate for a person's age.

Some individuals with ADHD also display difficulty regulating emotions or problems with executive function. For a diagnosis, the symptoms have to be present for more than six months and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, work, or recreational activities).

In children, problems paying attention may result in a decline in school performance. Additionally, it is associated with other mental disorders and substance use disorders.

Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many people with ADHD can have sustained attention (hyperfocus) for tasks they find interesting or rewarding.

🤔Signs and symptoms:
Inattention, hyperactivity (restlessness in adults), disruptive behavior, and impulsivity are common in ADHD.

Academic difficulties are frequent as are problems with relationships. The symptoms can be difficult to define, as it is hard to draw a line at where normal levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity end and significant levels requiring interventions begin.

According to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), symptoms must be present for six months or more to a degree that is much greater than others of the same age. they must cause significant problems functioning in at least two settings (social, school/work, or home).

The criteria must have been met before age twelve to receive a diagnosis of ADHD. This requires at least 6 symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity for those under 17 and at least 5 for those 17 years or older.
