[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the importance of early intervention and treatment consisting of medication and therapy in children with ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects an estimated 3-7% of school children and overall it has been estimated that in the U.S. alone, 8 to 15 million Americans suffer from ADD. ADHD in children is described by physician Stephen J. Gislason as a term which refers to “restless, distractible children who have a knack for disrupting order at home and at school” who are prone to “poor impulse control, often display abrupt mood swings, have inappropriate anger, and sometimes are violent”. While children who have ADHD may suffer from inattention or poor memory, most have “average or above intelligence”. In many cases, children who have ADHD may improve with age but just as many children are considered “permanently handicapped by a combination of poor achievement, low self-esteem, antisocial behavior, and persisting problems of disorganized psychic energy” and it is considered “likely that juvenile delinquency and, later, criminal adaptations and often substance abuse are linked to the ADHD complex.
