Picture a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in school, doing what kids with ADHD do: fidgeting, blurting out answers, jumping out of the chair, or zoning out because of some distraction during the science lesson.

It's not too much of a stretch to assume that such a child might receive a negative or corrective comment from the teacher, say, three times an hour "Pay attention!" "Sit still!" "Get back on task!" Let's say the child is in class 6 hours a day for 180 days of school each year. That's more than 3,200 nonpositive comments directed at a child each year and does not include a single annoyed comment from a coach or an angry scolding from a parent.

In school alone, a child with ADHD could receive 20,000 corrective or negative comments by the time he or she is age 10.

Medication does help many of these children, but even if it reduces behaviors that elicit negative comments by 50% or 75%, the child still is left with a heavy burden of criticism and a message that a lot of what he's about is not OK.

Even medication carries its own challenge to self-esteem if family members question its benefits, or siblings taunt the child for taking a pill.

Learning disabilities are common comorbidities in children with ADHD, so they might feel "stupid" and receive lackluster grades even if they're working harder than their peers. They might have difficulty reading social cues so they might not be very popular on the playground or on the bus.

All of this leads, quite predictably, to low self-esteem in children with ADHD, although their other symptoms draw so much attention that this very corrosive but hidden damage is overlooked by adults in their lives.

Children with low self-esteem suffer from the pain of being themselves. They learn to expect to fail rather than to succeed. They recoil from the idea of trying new things-even things they might be terrific at, like sports, or music, or dance-because they figure the odds of being naturally talented at something, or being able to patiently develop the skills to be a winner, are pretty low.

When we look at statistics on how children with ADHD fare down the line, in terms of lower-than-average educational achievement, employment, and marriage stability, one wonders how much is the disorder itself holding people back, versus how the disorder made them feel about themselves and their capabilities from earliest childhood.

The way to approach this important issue with parents and teachers is to emphasize that in treating ADHD, we should do all we can to respect the child, 24 hours a day. Beyond medication and behavior modification, we need a new sensitivity to preserving and enhancing self-esteem.

My guidelines begin with these suggestions:

▸ Set reasonable expectations for all children, but especially children with ADHD. When we set goals too high, they will ensure a sense of failure. In some ways, I think it is better to err slightly on the side of setting low expectations with a high probability of success.

▸ Expect normal variations in a child's performance. Again, all kids (like adults!) have great days of peak performance, and not-so-great days, but for kids with ADHD, the variability might be more dramatic. If we get too excited about a child with ADHD having a wonderful day of achievement and control, we risk resetting the bar too high and setting the stage for a disappointing tomorrow.

▸ Consider other factors. When evaluating the performance of a child with ADHD, take other factors into account: comorbidities, problems in the family, and chronic illness. See whether improvements in those other areas might boost their accomplishments.

▸ Focus on building strengths rather than remediating weaknesses whenever possible. An extra 2-3 hours of math tutoring is not likely to make a child with ADHD a great success at math. The same 2-3 hours after school honing a skill, whether it's a computer game or karate or ice hockey, might give the child an avenue in which to excel and provide a genuine source of pride. Keep in mind that in the long term, most people choose a career based on a strength, not a weakness they've tried to overcome.

▸ Think about summer as a time to take the pressure off and cultivate successes. Ask families to consider an energetic camp, one with activities suited to the individual child, rather than endless hours of academic skills building or remediation.

▸ Encourage play! Remind families that kids with ADHD crave moments of senseless fun with their parents. Swimming lessons are important, but so is splashing in the pool. I like to brainstorm with families about ideas for rituals in which there is no lesson to be learned or skill to be practiced, like watching a favorite (noneducational!) television show each week. Even better is to ask the child to pick an activity he or she does well-like playing computer games-and using "fun" time to teach parents how to play.

Who Is This ADHD Quiz For?

This simple assessment is for adults who think they may have symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Below is a list of questions that relate to life experiences common among people who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Please read each question carefully, and indicate how often you have experienced the same or similar challenges in the past few months.

How Accurate Is It?
This quiz is NOT a diagnostic tool. Mental health disorders can only be diagnosed by qualified mental health professionals.
Psycom believes assessments can be a valuable first step toward getting treatment. All too often people stop short of seeking help out of fear their concerns aren't legitimate or severe enough to warrant professional intervention.

How Is ADHD Treated?

Treatment for adult ADHD typically involves medication, psychotherapy, and/or psychoeducation. There is no cure for ADHD, but a combination of these treatments can effectively reduce symptoms and improve work and home life.
Your privacy is important to us. All results are completely anonymous.
ADHD is a neurological condition. Its causes aren't fully known, but a problem with dopamine regulation in the brain is suspected.

While it technically falls under the umbrella of mental illnesses most practitioners see it as a behavior disorder rather than a mental illness. ADHD is associated with behavior problems caused by working memory and executive functioning deficits (i.e. the ability to plan and be organized).

It also commonly co-occurs with mental illnesses including bipolar disorder, social anxiety disorder, substance use disorder, and learning disabilities.

Another term that is gaining acceptance that may more accurately describe ADHD is neurodiversity. Neurodiversity is a term that describes people who think and learn differently.

Absolutely. Many people with ADHD thrive and often it's because of (not despite) their ADHD symptoms. (Although if you ask them, it's common they may say they feel like a failure in one area or another.)

People with ADHD in business are known to be strategic, outside-the-box thinkers who have an enviable ability to handle many different tasks. People with ADHD are often very creative and have a unique ability to make connections others fail to see. Celebrities like swimmer Michael Phelps, Will Smith, Justin Timberlake, Emma Watson, and Zooey Deschanel all have ADHD.

Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

The symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be categorised into 2 types of behavioural problems:

inattentiveness (difficulty concentrating and focusing)

hyperactivity and impulsiveness

Many people with ADHD have problems that fall into both these categories, but this is not always the case.

For example, around 2 to 3 in 10 people with the condition have problems with concentrating and focusing, but not with hyperactivity or impulsiveness.

This form of ADHD is also known as attention deficit disorder (ADD). ADD can sometimes go unnoticed because the symptoms may be less obvious.

ADHD is more often diagnosed in boys than girls. Girls are more likely to have symptoms of inattentiveness only, and are less likely to show disruptive behaviour that makes ADHD symptoms more obvious. This means girls who have ADHD may not always be diagnosed.

Symptoms in children and teenagers

The symptoms of ADHD in children and teenagers are well defined, and they're usually noticeable before the age of 6. They occur in more than 1 situation, such as at home and at school.

Children may have symptoms of both inattentiveness and hyperactivity and impulsiveness, or they may have symptoms of just 1 of these types of behaviour.

Inattentiveness (difficulty concentrating and focusing)

The main signs of inattentiveness are:

having a short attention span and being easily distracted

making careless mistakes - for example, in schoolwork

appearing forgetful or losing things

being unable to stick to tasks that are tedious or time-consuming

appearing to be unable to listen to or carry out instructions

constantly changing activity or task

having difficulty organising tasks

Hyperactivity and impulsiveness

The main signs of hyperactivity and impulsiveness are:

being unable to sit still, especially in calm or quiet surroundings

constantly fidgeting

being unable to concentrate on tasks

excessive physical movement

excessive talking

being unable to wait their turn

acting without thinking

interrupting conversations

little or no sense of danger

These symptoms can cause significant problems in a child's life, such as underachievement at school, poor social interaction with other children and adults, and problems with discipline.

Related conditions in children and teenagers with ADHD

Although not always the case, some children may also have signs of other problems or conditions alongside ADHD, such as:

anxiety disorder - which causes your child to worry and be nervous much of the time; it may also cause physical symptoms, such as a rapid heartbeat, sweating and dizziness

oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) - this is defined by negative and disruptive behaviour, particularly towards authority figures, such as parents and teachers

conduct disorder - this often involves a tendency towards highly antisocial behaviour, such as stealing, fighting, vandalism and harming people or animals

depression

sleep problems - finding it difficult to get to sleep at night, and having irregular sleeping patterns

autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) - this affects social interaction, communication, interests and behaviour

dyspraxia - a condition that affects physical co-ordination

epilepsy - a condition that affects the brain and causes repeated fits or seizures

Tourette's syndrome - a condition of the nervous system, characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements (tics)

learning difficulties - such as dyslexia

Symptoms in adults

In adults, the symptoms of ADHD are more difficult to define. This is largely due to a lack of research into adults with ADHD.

As ADHD is a developmental disorder, it's believed it cannot develop in adults without it first appearing during childhood. But symptoms of ADHD in children and teenagers often continue into adulthood.

The way in which inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness affect adults can be very different from the way they affect children.

For example, hyperactivity tends to decrease in adults, while inattentiveness tends to remain as the pressures of adult life increase.

Adult symptoms of ADHD also tend to be far more subtle than childhood symptoms.

Some specialists have suggested the following as a list of symptoms associated with ADHD in adults:

carelessness and lack of attention to detail

continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones

poor organisational skills

inability to focus or prioritise

continually losing or misplacing things

forgetfulness

restlessness and edginess

difficulty keeping quiet, and speaking out of turn

blurting out responses and often interrupting others

mood swings, irritability and a quick temper

inability to deal with stress

extreme impatience

taking risks in activities, often with little or no regard for personal safety or the safety of others - for example, driving dangerously

Related conditions in adults with ADHD

As with ADHD in children and teenagers, ADHD in adults can occur alongside several related problems or conditions.

One of the most common is depression. Other conditions that adults may have alongside ADHD include:

personality disorders - conditions in which an individual differs significantly from the average person in terms of how they think, perceive, feel or relate to others

bipolar disorder - a condition affecting your mood, which can swing from one extreme to another

obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) - a condition that causes obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviour

The behavioural problems associated with ADHD can also cause problems such as difficulties with relationships and social interaction.
