Attention Deficit

Inattentiveness, sudden high energy levels, prompt actions without the thought of its adverse reaction, learning disabilities, and restlessness are characteristic of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This neurodevelopmental disorder leads to poor performance in school-going children. In adults, it leads to substance abuse and unstable relationships. Appropriate behavioral therapy along with central nervous system stimulant and non-stimulant medications, cognitive therapy, and skill training help manage the symptoms.
