Introduction

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD or Attention-deficit disorder, ADD is a neurological disorder characterized by problems with concentration (ADD) with or without hyperactivity impulsivity. Its detection and caring is the subject of much controversy. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) ADHD is a behavioral disorder in the true sense of the term, although the risk of developing a disorder or opposition to the conduct is higher than average. The child who is struggling with ADHD has behaviors that require greater consistency and greater consistency from the adults who revolve around him. (Van Cleave, 2008)

AD-H is considered a socio-behavioral problem with a biological basis, not yet well known. From a medical perspective, it is considered a health problem, but is NOT a disease in the sense we usually give to this term.

Thus, we cannot be reliable conclusions, but must be considered provisional. ( Nair, 2006)

Although these behaviors can be found in all human beings, they are present in a pronounced and unusually prolonged in those with ADHD. They are also present in all the circumstances of life (not only at school or just at home, for example).

Three characteristic ADHD symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. For example, a child still "in the moon", which does not finish his homework, that does not retain the instructions and constantly loses his belongings, but that is not particularly agitated could be diagnosed with ADHD. . Another, especially hyperactive, impulsive and restless, but that happens to focus on relatively well when the tasks of interest could also be achieved. In general, hyperactivity and impulsivity are more pronounced in boys than in girls.
