ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish." (www.adhd.com, 2007)

I really hope this information debunks the mythical "definitions" of ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, out there. This information is reliable, fact-based, and referenced. Degrading self-righteous opinions and narrow-minded assumptions are not included in this text.

It is believed that ADHD is a highly genetic disorder. Approximately 35 percent of parents of children with ADHD have the disorder themselves. It's also not uncommon to discover that other people in the family (siblings, aunts, and/or uncles) also have ADHD. Interestingly, many parents only come to learn about their own ADHD once their child has been diagnosed. This may explain a lifetime of frustrations and prompt them to get help. (www.adhd.com, 2007)

Musical Adhd

When one is listening to songs and just can't finish one without switching to a different song halfway through. Usually something is the song will remind them of another song and they just don't have it in them to finish the song they're currently listening.

Guy 1: Check out this new song
Guy 2: Ok man
Guy 1: Now wait, check out this new song I found
Guy 2: Don't you want to finish the new song you're showing me first
Guy 1: No
Guy 2: Man you have some serious Musical Adhd

ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is generally considered to be a developmental disorder, largely neurological in nature effecting 3-5 percent of the population. I developed it at a young age but my parents were against the idea of seeing a behavior specialist. My mom said it was a bad idea, but she doesn't know much about medicine. One time she told me to take Ibuprofen but I hadn't had anything to eat so it irritated my stomach and I vomited. One time when we were drinking I puked so much that I burst a blood vessel in my eye. I have contacts so I couldn't wear them for a couple days because it hurt. I think I might get PKR so I don't have to wear contacts anymore.

I got sick of putting my contacts in every morning so I got laser eye surgery. I think the formal name for it was PKR. Wait, what does this have to do with ADHD?
