It is typically diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. “Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active” (CDC 2013). While there is no known direct cause of ADHD, many factors including genetics, environment, social class, and diet are possible links to the disorder. “There are three forms of ADHD; Predominately inattentive presentation, Predominately hyperactive-impulsive presentation and Combined presentation. Forms of ADHD are diagnosed based upon the extremity of displayed symptoms”( CDC 2015).

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed in children, especially boys, at a much higher rate than ever in the past. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2016) state that since 2011, eleven percent (6.4 million) of children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with ADHD (13.2 percent boys and 5.6 percent girls). Often, children with ADHD have problems with working memory, selective attention, and inhibition (Belsky, 2016, p.154). Also, children need special attention from teachers and parents to stay on track. In addition, ADHD youth have a harder time making and keeping friends.
