Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects almost 10% of American children between 13 and 18 years old, as well as 4% of U.S. adults over 18.
Only a licensed mental health professional can provide an ADHD diagnosis, after a thorough evaluation.
ADHD has three primary characteristics: Inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Inattentive:
Hyperactive:
Impulsive:
Although ADHD is a broad term, it does have three subtypes:
Predominantly Inattentive, Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive, when one is hyperactive and impulsive, but not inattentive.
Combined Hyperactive-Impulsive and Inattentive: When one is inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive.
Adults with ADHD struggle with inattentiveness, impulsivity or hyperactivity.
Without proper treatment, the adult may encounter a variety of psychological, social and vocational problems.
Although some adults with ADHD can concentrate on projects they find interesting, others are frustrated with any task. Some adult ADHD sufferers can be socially withdrawn, and others can be very social in a destructive way (like jumping from one relationship to the next).
Adults with ADHD may also have a lot of challenges in school:
If these conditions are not properly managed, they may lead to a variety of psychological, social and vocational problems.
Because of all of the above, adults with ADHD are more likely to:
Some children seldom act hyperactive or impulsive. For example, they may be well-behaved in class, and even appear to be working on their studies; however, they are not really focused on their assignment. This situation is often indicative of children with Attention Deficit Disorder, or “ADD”.
Other kids may exhibit hyperactivity or impulsiveness to a degree beyond that of ordinary kids, perhaps indicating ADHD.
Adverse behaviors range from mild to severe. They can vary with the situation or be present all the time.
Although only a licensed medical practitioner can diagnose ADHD, the above explanations should give you a better understanding about ADHD, which affects millions of people all over the world.
There are effective ways to obtain relief. Many former ADHD sufferers now live a life free of their condition’s symptoms, while others have embraced solutions which make their condition easily manageable.

In a recent study, Julia Rucklidge, PhD examined the significant effects of EMPowerplus on adult ADHD.
Rucklidge’s study is the first double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial of Truehope EMpowerplus to be published.
In the study, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry (information found here), New Zealand researchers assigned 80 adults with ADHD into two groups: half of them used the EMPowerplus formulation, and the other half used a placebo.
After the 8-week trial, significant differences emerged between the two groups on self- and observer-ADHD rating scales. Clinicians rated those in the EMPowerplus group has having improved more—not only in ADHD symptoms, but generally, too—than the placebo group.
It also seemed those with moderate or severe depression saw a greater change in mood if they were taking EMPowerplus than if they were taking the placebo.
Researchers are already recruiting participants for another trial, which will look at children and ADHD.
