Hyper active disorder

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  (ADHD) is a mental disorder of the neurodevelopmental type.It is characterized by problems paying attention, excessive activity, or difficulty controlling behavior which is not appropriate for a person's age.The symptoms appear before a person is twelve years old, are present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, or recreational activities).In children, problems paying attention may result in poor school performance. Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many children with ADHD have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting
ADHD management recommendations vary by country and usually involve some combination of counseling, lifestyle changes, and medications. The British guideline only recommends medications as a first-line treatment in children who have severe symptoms and for medication to be considered in those with moderate symptoms who either refuse or fail to improve with counseling, though for adults medications are a first-line treatment.Canadian and American guidelines recommend that medications and behavioral therapy be used together as a first-line therapy, except in preschool-aged children. Stimulant medication therapy is not recommended as a first-line therapy in preschool-aged children in either guideline.Treatment with stimulants is effective for up to 14 months; however, its long term effectiveness is unclear.[25][26][27][28] Adolescents and adults tend to develop coping skills which make up for some or all of their impairments.
