BS PSYCH 3-1 NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS Group of conditions with onset in the developmental period; they typically manifest early in development, often before the child enters grade school. ATTENTION-DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS/ 2 CATEGORIES OF SYMPTOMS (DSM-5) 1. Pattern of inattention Hyperactivity and 2. Impulsivity Hyperactivity includes fidgeting, having trouble sitting for any length of time, and always being on the go Impulsivity includes blurting out answers before questions have been completed and having trouble waiting turns. TAKE NOTE: EITHER THE FIRST OR THE SECOND AND THIRD SET OF SYMPTOMS MUST BE PRESENT FOR SOMEONE TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD. SUBTYPES/DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS OF ADHD 1. Inattentive Subtype(ADD) 2. Hyperactive/Impulsive Subtype 3. Combined subtype PSYCH 3155 1 Abnormal Psychology BS PSYCH 3-1 TRUE: BOYS ARE 2-3 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD THAN GIRLS It may be that adults are more tolerant of hyperactivity among girls, who tend to be less active than boys with ADHD. Boys tend to be more aggressive, which will more likely result in attention by MH Professionals.
