Hey now it’s done so take a peek if you want……
Hi welcome to Talking with Donna, I am glad you are able to join me. So, far I have shared the neurodevelopmental disorders, this area has at least seven categories, which we will be discussing the following in the next coming months, intellectual, communication, autistic spectrum. Attention deficit hyperactivity, specific learning, motor and other neurodevelopmental disorders just to name a few.
I hope this has been helpful to some and informational for others. These are just a few examples of the different forms. It’s important to note that neurodevelopement disorder can vary in severity and presentation from person to person. Additionally, some individuals may experience a combination of these forms or have symptoms that don’t neatly fit into a single category. Proper diagnosis and treatment by a mental health professional are essential for effectively managing all disorders.
Today I will be sharing with you part 1 of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or (ADHD).
In the next coming months, we will continue in the same vein of mental health information, and I must really be careful as to how I present the information to you. This is not for you to diagnosis, treat or hold your friend’s hostage, it is not meant to make you a professional, it is information that you can generally find on any internet site. Yes, I will continue with this statement it is very important.
I am so thrilled you stayed tuned……Now on with the information.

The history of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The history of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) dates back to the early 20th century when British pediatrician Sir George Still first described children who had significant behavioral issues, such as impulsivity and inattention. Throughout the years, the understanding and terminology of the condition evolved. Research and awareness have continued to grow, leading to better diagnosis and treatment options.
What it is.
Attention-Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition characterized primarily by a persistent pattern of inattention, making it difficult for individuals to stay focused, follow through on tasks, and organize activities. It can significantly impact daily functioning and academic or professional performance.
Another name for it (if it has one)
In the 1960s, the term “hyperkinetic impulse disorder” was used, and by the 1980s, the American Psychiatric Association officially recognized ADHD in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Attention Deficit Syndrome is another term often used interchangeably with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While some people use it to refer specifically to the inattentive type of ADHD, the broader medical community recognizes ADHD as the official term encompassing various presentations, including inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined types.
Characteristics of the disorder
The characteristics of Attention-Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder include difficulty maintaining attention on tasks, frequent daydreaming, trouble following instructions, being easily distracted, forgetfulness in daily activities, and problems with organization. In some cases, individuals may also exhibit hyperactive and impulsive behaviors, such as fidgeting, excessive talking, and difficulty waiting their turn. These symptoms can vary in severity and impact different aspects of an individual’s life.
Thank you for continuing to support me. I will be posting more information concerning the many forms and subtypes of this disorders during the coming week at which point we will continue with this mental health challenge. I will start with and follow the same format.
Please follow me next week when will share information concerning disorder:
* What are some of the challenges people affected with this dis-ease face
*What can individuals do to offset symptoms of attention deficit disorder (ADHD)?
*What type of exercises are good for attention deficit disorder (ADHD).
*What is a balance diet for people affected with attention deficit disorder (ADHD).
Thank you for continuing to support me. Last post I said I would do a monthly post on mental health challenges, well there is a lot of information I want to cover with attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and I feel I would be doing you a dis-service by limiting it too one part of the subject matter. So, it is a series of information I will be sharing with you through July.
