Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Recognizing and diagnosing ADHD in children is mostly during the school period. ADHD negatively affects children's skills necessary for academic success and social adaptation in the school environment. ADHD symptoms are at the forefront of the situations in which the child, not only the parents but also the teachers, directs the family to seek treatment or help. ADHD appears to affect 5-10% of children and 4.4% of adults worldwide. ADHD is a genetically inherited disease that emerges with the effect of genetic factors. For this reason, problems may arise in family functions when there is more than one person with ADHD at home. In this study, DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, models developed for the diagnosis of adult ADHD and what families can do when living with ADHD are shared.
