Spreading awareness with one person at a time

ADHD

ADHD is what we call Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It is a common mental disorder usually found in school-aged children. Like the name suggests, people with ADHD have trouble focusing on a particular task and/or have too much energy that is unfit for the given situation. This website aims to promote awareness and knowledge regarding this disorder.

Yes, it exists and it is real unlike what non-professionals believe.

The condition affects behavior in specific ways. For example, children with ADHD often have trouble getting along with siblings and other children at school, at home, and in other settings. Those who have trouble paying attention usually have trouble learning. An impulsive nature may put them in actual physical danger. Because children with ADHD have difficulty controlling this behavior, they may be labeled "bad kids" or "space cadets."

Left untreated, ADHD in some children will continue to cause serious, lifelong problems, such as poor grades in school, run-ins with the law, failed relationships, and the inability to keep a job.

ADHD can often distract a person from any task at all.

People don't often finish their tasks due to excessive energy or the lack thereof, causing them to be inefficient in whatever they do.

ADHD is a real mental condition and can be dangerous to one's health depending on their specific situation.

We need to understand that this is a big possibility and should never be ruled out. Symptoms vary and a person needs to be aware of that.

There are medications to treat ADHD but medical supervision is still needed at all ages. It is considered safe and the results are well-documented.

Fidget toys may help people with this condition. According to recent studies, fidgeting may help children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by increasing their concentration.

"The hardest thing about ADHD is that it's invisible to outsiders. People just assume that we are not being good parents and that our child is a brat, when they don't have an idea how exhausted we truly are."
