My name is Jarika Campbell and I have ADHD and ADD. Attention-Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder is when I was originally diagnosed in the summer of 2011 at the age of eighteen. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder all mean the same thing. It's a condition that develops within some children in their early childhood years, but can continue into adulthood. ADD and ADHD can make it difficult for people to be able to control their behavior, as well as various other symptoms.
The current estimation is that between 3 and 5 percent of American children suffer from some degree of attention deficit disorder. This translates to approximately 2 million children across the United States. Similarly, between 2 and 4 percent of all adults in the USA suffer from ADD ADHD.
The principal ADHD symptom(s) is inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms appear early in a child's life. Because many normal children may have these symptoms, but at a low level, or the symptoms may be caused by another disorder, it is important that the child receive a thorough examination and appropriate diagnosis by a well-qualified professional.
ADHD symptom (s) will appear over the course of many months, often with the symptom of impulsiveness and hyperactivity preceding those of inattention, which may not emerge for a year or more. Different symptoms may appear in different settings, depending on the demands the situation may pose for the child's self-control.
