OVERVIEW

Many talks and conversations have been about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and a sizable number of people are knowledgeable about its symptoms. Children who do not pay enough attention to lessons and school, they barely stand the lesson, their mobility is high, can benefit from low self-control, constantly reject others words, touch everything without permission and are so naughty that they climb the right wall. Families often tell them Dos and Don’ts and they are deeply annoyed by these children. This disorder not only affects school and self-esteem if you mix communication patterns as well.

Taking into consideration that these children are not capable of repairing other children of the same age, their parents and teachers and cannot expect that if they provide them, they will increase the pressure and follow the children. Anger develops inside the child and the child may then become confrontational.

Although, almost half of the children struggling this disorder recover even without treatment by the age of 12, lack of intervention may lead to over-activation of the disorder chain from confrontation to conduct disorder in the future, followed by the creation of antisocial personality, addiction and conflict with the law. Fortunately, excellent pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are available for this disorder. Therefore, if you have a child suffering from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, take this issue seriously, and seek medical and psychotherapy.
