Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Psychological testing.
Psychological or psychiatric evaluation for ADHD generally consists of obtaining multiple types of information from multiple sources along with a careful history that is then used in the process of differential diagnosis (differentiation from other mental disorders). These usually include a clinical interview reviewing the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD diagnosis. The interview also needs to rule out as much as possible other types of syndromes which can ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Treatment There are many options available to treat people diagnosed with ADHD. The options with the greatest scientific support include a variety of medications, behavior-changing therapies, and educational interventions.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Mainstream treatments.
The first-line medication used to treat ADHD are mostly stimulants, which work by stimulating the areas of the brain responsible for focus, attention, and impulse control. The use of stimulants to treat a syndrome often characterize ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Parenting There is no compelling evidence that parenting methods can cause ADHD in otherwise normal children. Evidence does show that parents of ADHD children of experience more stress and depression, give more commands, spend less leisure time with their children, and vacililate between lax and harsh punishment. But further research shows that such parenting behavior is in large part a reaction to the child's ADHD and related disruptive and oppositional behavior and in a small part the result of the parent's own ADHD. According to parents, parenting ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Evidence for ADHD as an organic phenomenon Brain imaging research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown that differences exist between the brains of children with and without ADHD, though these differences have not been shown in any way to be pathological in nature. Additionally PET studies have shown there might be a link between a person's ability to pay continued attention to external directives and the use of glucose - the body's major fuel - in the brain. In adults diagnosed with ADHD, the brain areas that control attention use less glucose and appear to be less active, suggesting th ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Symptoms In children the disorder is characterized by inattentiveness, destructiveness, impulsive behavior, and restlessness. The inattentiveness often appears as a difficult with sustaining attention or persisting toward activities, particularly those that are not especially interesting or rewarding. This is often combined with problems inhibiting responding to distracting events that often draw the person off-task. Those with ADHD also have difficulties re-engaging the previous task once they have been distracted. The hyperactivity is typica ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Terminology There is not yet a naming consensus. Below are listed several terms that have been used, past and present. One challenge in taxonomy is that some patterns of behavior are labeled by experts symptoms or sub-types of ADHD, while other experts label those same patterns as their own disorders, independent of ADHD. For the purposes of this article, the "Terminology" section will be used only to name ADHD and its near equivalents, while the names for its manifestations and subtypes will be listed in 'Symptoms', below.

Research, however, indicates that the frontal lobes, their connections to the basal ganglia, and the central aspects of the cerebellum (vermis) are most likely to be involved in this disorder, as may be a region in th ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Symptoms In children the disorder is characterized by inattentiveness, destructiveness, impulsive behavior, and restlessness. The inattentiveness often appears as a difficulty with sustaining attention or persisting toward activities, particularly those that are not especially interesting or rewarding. This is often combined with problems inhibiting responding to distracting events that often draw the person off-task. Those with ADHD also have difficulties re-engaging the previous task once they have been distracted. The hyperactivity is typic ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Positive aspects Though ADHD is classified as a serious disorder, some people have a different perspective and note the positive aspects. ADHD children tend to look at situations in a different manner, they argue. The children tend to look beyond the norm. "While students are learning the details of photosynthesis, the ADHD kids are staring out the window and pondering if it still works on a cloudy day" (Underwood). Some children might be uneasy about getting into a situation. Deespite these rather optimistic views of ADHD, there is no research to support th ...

| | | | | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Diagnosis: Encyclopedia II - Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Formal definitions According to the U.S. Surgeon General, and ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Disease Revised Edition 2005), ADHD is a metabolic form of encephalopathy, impairing the release and homeostasis of neurological chemicals, and reducing the function of the limbic system.
