Discuss the proposed causes, symptoms, and treatments. Carissa said: Hello Professor Pullara and fellow classmates, ADHD is a very familiar disorder to me since I had three students this past school year with ADHD and my aide has ADHD as well. People with ADHD tend to be: impulsive, become easily distracted, hardly finishes their tasks, excessive talking, acting without thinking, fidgets constantly, and many more symptoms. ADHD can be caused by premature delivery, alcohol/tobacco exposure during pregnancy, brain injury, or if the mother was young in labor. Depending on the age range, there is a specific treatment and therapy that can benefit the individual. Preschool age range, behavior therapy is the best treatment since they are too young for medication. However, medication can be beneficial, but the patient is too young. Patients in adolescence and adulthood, it is best recommended to take medication unless their ADHD can be treated with therapies. It solely depends on the severity of the disorder. Blessings, Carissa CasillasComer, R. J., & Comer, J. S. (2021). Abnormal psychology (11th ed.). Worth Publishers.

Typically, ADHD is diagnosed in early childhood and most often, children will grow out of it into adulthood (Center, 2021). Some of the symptoms include trouble focusing and behaving. A child with ADHD may also experience daydreams, forgetfulness, squirminess, being extra talkativeness, having difficulty sharing and taking turns (Center, 2021). There can be several factors that may lead to causes of ADHD. Brain injury, exposure during pregnancy or at a young age, if the mother uses alcohol or tobacco during pregnancy, and if the baby is born prematurely (Center, 2021). Some treatments for ADHD include behavior therapy and medications. For preschool age children, behavior therapy is the recommended form of treatment as most doctors do not want to put children between the ages of 4-5 on medication. I am glad I got to look into this as my son who is four, has been told he most likely has ADHD so it is nice to have a little extra knowledge on it.NiquiCenters for Disease Control and Prevention.
