There is a new health deficiency that I discovered. It’s called ADHD or commonly called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. According to Wikipedia, ADHD “is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. ADHD is primarily characterized by “the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each behavior occurring infrequently alone.” While symptoms may appear to be innocent and merely annoying nuisances to observers, “if left untreated, the persistent and pervasive effects of ADHD symptoms can insidiously and severely interfere with one’s ability to get the most out of education, fulfill one’s potential in the workplace, establish and maintain interpersonal relationships, and maintain a generally positive sense of self.”

Some thinks that the manifestation of ADHD is just plain attention problem but basically it is an underlying serious problem that can affect one’s life forever. If you need to know more, you can ask your doctor for ADHD information. Symptoms of such disorder might be present in your child or your adult friends. Knowing more about this can help us help others.
