Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has always been a growing issue. However, as we discover more about it, we can look at it from a different point of view, which in turn will help us learn and treat it more effectively. Furthermore, by giving families and society a better understanding in general, we will help them deal with those who suffer from it.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a disorder that needs to be diagnosed by a professional so the patient can receive the best course of treatment. Many parents and teachers believe that the children are acting out for attention or that the behavior is caused by bad parenting, when in all actuality they are suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It 's important …show more content…
They look at symptoms very carefully, using a criteria. According to Biederman and Faraone (2014), "The symptoms and signs of ADHD must cause impairment in at least two settings to be considered as true signs or symptoms of the disorder." In other words, Biederman and Faraone, are saying that in order for the symptoms to be considered actual signs of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, they must be present in at least two different settings, such as in school, at work, or at …show more content…
According to Biederman and Faraone (2014), "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder runs in families. Studies of twins with the disorder document greater resemblance of monozygotic, or genetically identical twins, as compared with dizygotic twins, who share, on average, half their genes". A healthy human has 2 copies of each chromosome. People who suffer from certain disorders have extra chromosomes or not enough. When you have a single extra chromosome, it is a Aneuploidy Disorder. Some theories relate Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to the Autism Spectrum Disorders because people with Autism Spectrum Disorders show symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder according to Saey (2011).
"Unlike people with schizophrenia or autism, people with ADHD are no more likely than average to have missing or duplicate gene copies overall . . . An examination of DNA from parents of 173 of the children in the new study showed that ADHD- associated gene copy differences are frequently inherited from a parent who also has the disorder. That differs from autism and schizophrenia, where the genes associated with the condition are often newly deleted or duplicated in the child with the disorder, not passed down from the
