Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Overview for Dietary and Lifestyle or Treatment info see links at bottom

ADHD is characterised by inattentiveness, restlessness and/or inappropriate impulsiveness and hyperactivity. Although commonly associated with children, this disorder can persist into adulthood. Symptoms often interfere with children learning and socialising.

Common traits are:

  • being easily distracted
  • finding difficulty in following instruction and with organisation
  • excessive fidgeting, difficulty sitting still, excessive talking and reckless behaviour

ADHD often goes undiagnosed. Children may be seen as trouble-makers or as unintelligent. Their parents may be blamed as being bad parents.

Diagnosis can be very beneficial.
