 Attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) is a type of
neurological disorder
called a
neurodevelopmental
disorder.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 ADHD is one of the most
common
neurodevelopmental
disorders of childhood. It is
usually first diagnosed in
childhood and often lasts
into adulthood
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 ADHD can lead to a wide
range of symptoms related
to inattention, hyperactivity,
and impulsivity. In
adulthood, untreated ADHD
can cause difficulties with
day-to-day functioning at
home and at work

 Did you know?
• ADHD is among the most common mental
disorders in children and teens, but plenty
of adults have it too. It’s estimated that
adult ADHD affects more than 8 million
adults. Many of them don’t even know it.
Several studies suggest less than 20% of
adults with ADHD are aware that they
have it. And only about a fourth of those
SLIDESMANIA.COM

who do know are getting treatment for it.

 • ADHD is a complex
disorder caused by
multiple factors, making
it difficult to identify the
exact causes.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 • Genetic and environmental
factors, and their
interactions, are known to
contribute to this disorder.
Environmental factors
include maternal smoking
during pregnancy and
duration of breastfeeding.

 Very interesting facts!
ADHD tends to run in families, and, in most
cases, it's thought the genes you inherit
from your parents are a significant factor
in developing the condition. Research
shows that parents and siblings of
someone with ADHD are more likely to have
SLIDESMANIA.COM

ADHD themselves.
 The overall average age for an ADHD
diagnosis is 7. And every adult who has ADHD
also had symptoms during childhood. Experts
used to think that children “grew out” of
ADHD. But studies show that more than 60%
of children with ADHD still have it as adults.
