How common is ADHD

ADHD affects the brain’s executive functioning, making it difficult for individuals to plan, organise, focus, and regulate their impulses. While it is not a result of laziness or lack of intelligence, the symptoms of ADHD can impact academic performance, work efficiency, and social relationships. ADHD is categorised into three main types:

1. Inattentive Type

Difficulty paying attention, staying organised, or following through on tasks.

2. Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

Characterised by fidgeting, restlessness, talking excessively, and acting impulsively.

3. Combined Type

A mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.

How common is ADHD

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders worldwide, particularly in children. Globally, it is estimated to affect around 5–7% of children and 2–5% of adults. Boys are more frequently diagnosed than girls, though it is believed that ADHD is underdiagnosed in females because they often exhibit less hyperactivity and more subtle symptoms. Diagnosis rates have increased over the years due to greater awareness and improved diagnostic methods. While ADHD often presents in childhood, studies show that about 60–70% of children with ADHD continue to experience symptoms in adulthood.

Symptoms of ADHD

The symptoms of ADHD can vary depending on the subtype and severity but generally fall into two categories: inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.

1. Inattention Symptoms

• Difficulty focusing on tasks or activities
• Frequently losing items such as books, keys, or assignments
• Struggling to follow instructions or complete tasks
• Being easily distracted by external stimuli
• Difficulty organising tasks and activities
• Forgetfulness in daily activities

2. Hyperactivity and Impulsivity Symptoms

• Fidgeting, tapping hands or feet, or squirming in seats
• Inability to stay seated in situations where it is required
• Excessive talking or interrupting others
• Acting without thinking, such as blurting out answers
• Difficulty waiting for one's turn
• Restlessness and an ongoing need for physical activity

In adults, ADHD may manifest differently. Symptoms often include chronic procrastination, difficulty managing time, impulsive decisions, and trouble maintaining relationships or employment.

Causes of ADHD

The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, but research suggests that it results from a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors:

1. Genetics

ADHD tends to run in families. Studies have shown that individuals with a family history of ADHD are at a higher risk of developing the condition.

2. Brain Structure and Function

Differences in brain structure and neurotransmitter activity, particularly involving dopamine, are linked to ADHD symptoms. Regions of the brain responsible for attention, impulse control, and executive functioning may develop differently in individuals with ADHD.

3. Environmental Factors

Factors such as exposure to toxins (e.g., lead), maternal smoking or alcohol use during pregnancy, premature birth, and low birth weight have been associated with an increased risk of ADHD.

4. Other Contributing Factors

While diet and screen time do not cause ADHD, they may exacerbate symptoms in some individuals. Poor sleep patterns and high-stress environments can also worsen ADHD symptoms.

Treatment for ADHD

ADHD is a lifelong condition, but its symptoms can be effectively managed through a combination of treatment approaches:

1. Medication

• Stimulant medications (e.g., methylphenidate, amphetamine-based drugs) are the most commonly prescribed and help regulate neurotransmitter activity, improving focus and reducing impulsivity.
• Non-stimulant medications, such as atomoxetine or guanfacine, may be used when stimulants are not suitable.

2. Behavioural Therapy

• Behavioural interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), help individuals develop coping strategies, improve organisation, and manage impulsivity.
• Parent training programs provide families with tools to help children with ADHD manage their behaviour.

3. Lifestyle Modifications

• Establishing a structured routine for daily tasks can reduce forgetfulness and disorganisation.
• Encouraging regular physical activity, as exercise can improve focus and reduce hyperactivity.
• A balanced diet rich in nutrients, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques can help reduce symptoms.

4. Educational Support

• Schools often provide individualised education plans (IEPs) or accommodations, such as extended time on tests, to help students with ADHD succeed academically.

Preventing ADHD

While there is no definitive way to prevent ADHD, certain measures during pregnancy and early childhood may reduce the risk of developing the condition. Pregnant mothers can minimise exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and environmental toxins, and ensuring proper prenatal care is vital. Early diagnosis and intervention in children showing signs of ADHD can help manage symptoms more effectively and reduce the impact on their academic and social development.

When to seek medical attention

If you or your child exhibit symptoms of ADHD, such as persistent inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interfere with daily life, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve quality of life and help individuals develop coping mechanisms. Symptoms that warrant medical attention include:

• Persistent difficulty focusing in school or at work
• Inability to sit still or complete tasks
• Behavioural issues that impact relationships or family dynamics
• Emotional struggles, such as low self-esteem, frustration, or anxiety due to unmanaged symptoms

Conclusion

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults, making it challenging to focus, organise tasks, and manage impulsivity. Although the exact causes are not fully understood, genetic and environmental factors play a significant role. Early diagnosis and a combination of treatments, including medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes, can significantly improve symptoms and daily functioning. With appropriate support and interventions, individuals with ADHD can thrive academically, socially, and professionally. By understanding ADHD and its management strategies, individuals and families can take proactive steps to improve overall well-being and quality of life.
