ADHD: What Is It?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that robs children of their ability to focus and pay attention. Kids with ADHD are fidgety and easily distracted. This makes it difficult to stay "on task," whether it's listening to a teacher or finishing a chore. A recent national study reported by the CDC noted that 11% of school aged children are being diagnosed with ADHD. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates 3% to 5% of kids have ADHD, but some experts believe that figure could be as high as 10%.

ADHD Symptoms: Inattention

The main symptom of ADHD is the inability to pay attention. Kids may have trouble listening to a speaker, following directions, finishing tasks, or keeping track of personal items. They may daydream often and make careless mistakes. Children with ADHD tend to avoid activities that require sustained concentration or that might be boring.

ADHD Symptoms: Hyperactivity

Another component of ADHD is the inability to sit still. Children may run and climb on things constantly, even when indoors. When they are seated, they tend to squirm, fidget, or bounce. Some kids with ADHD talk excessively and find it difficult to play quietly.

ADHD Symptoms: Impulsiveness

A third symptom is impulsiveness -- cutting in line, interrupting others, or blurting out answers before the teacher finishes a question. This aspect of ADHD makes it difficult for children to wait their turn or think before they act.

ADHD's Impact on Daily Life

Without treatment, ADHD can affect a child's development socially and academically. The inability to focus often leads to poor performance in school. Kids who interrupt or cut in line may have trouble making and keeping friends. These setbacks can lead to low self-esteem and risky behaviors. ADHD also increases the risk of childhood depression and anxiety disorders.

Causes of ADHD

Children with ADHD have less activity in areas of the brain that control attention. They may also have imbalances in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. It's unclear what causes these irregularities, but ADHD runs in families, so many experts believe genetics play a role.

Diagnosing ADHD

There are no lab tests to detect ADHD. Instead, doctors rely on the patient's response to questions, the family's description of behavior problems, and a school assessment. With ADHD, a child must display some combination of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity for at least six months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with his or her age. Onset of the symptoms needs to have appeared by age 12.

Medications for ADHD

Stimulant medications can help increase a child's attention span while controlling hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Studies suggest these drugs work in 70% to 80% of patients, although they may have some troubling side effects. Non-stimulant medications are also options for some children.

keikhlasan yang pernah diajarkan

Bergetar jemariku menulis kisah ini, suatu cerita dimana akhirnya sedikit demi sedikit secara bertahap aku menemukan ketenangan hatiku akan sebuah alur kehidupan yang memang seperti ini jalan nya.  Mengucap terimakasih untuk dorongan yang telah diberikan kepadaku belum sempat kuucapkan secara langsung..Semoga kelak aku masih diberikan waktu, untuk berterimakasih atas kebaikan yang telah ia lakukan untukku..Karena hingga sekarang, aku masih merasakan bahagia oleh karena nya.. oleh karena keikhlasan yang dulu sangat susah kujalani,

Kukira, aku mendapatkan dukungan dari nya, penafsiran fikiran manusia sangat dimungkinkan untuk bermacam-macam. Itulah juga yang terjadi padaku, ku kira ia mendukung penuh.. Ternyata dukungan itu hanya harapanku saja Ya Allah...

Lalu aku hanya mengembalikan kekecewaan ini pada diriku sendiri, dulu aku pernah membencinya karena sikap kasarnya, namun aku luluh untuk memaafkannya karena manusia tidaklah sempurna..

Berkaca dari kesalahan masa lalu, aku sadar, tidaklah pantas aku untuk memaksakan kehendakku..

Aku mampu memberikan nasehat keikhlasan pada oranglain, aku bahagia menceritakan prosesnya untuk berubah dalam hal keagamaan kepada temanku yang lain  untuk dijadikan pelajaran...yah, aku menangis . . . Ketika aku selesai bercerita tentangnya yang telah berubah, tangisku bukan karena kebencian, tapi karena kami yang tak  bisa disatukan..Terkadang, bahkan sering aku merasakan kesendirian,membutuhkan teman untuk bicara berbagi cerita, dan entah sampai sekarang, masih hanya dia yang ku nanti

Nammun semua ku kembalikan pada kehendak Allah SWT yang terbaik untukku,


aku masih meyakini ia akan berubah menjadi sosok yang baik budi dan sabar,insyaallah..
