What are the symptoms?
Posted in Health Library on 06/01/2010 06:15 am by adminThe three types of ADHD symptoms include:
* Trouble paying attention. People with ADHD are easily distracted and have a hard time focusing on any one task.
* Trouble sitting still for even a short time. This is called hyperactivity. Children with ADHD may squirm, fidget, or run around at the wrong times. Teens and adults often feel restless and fidgety and are not able to enjoy reading or other quiet activities.
* Acting before thinking. People with ADHD may talk too loud, laugh too loud, or become angrier than the situation calls for. Children may not be able to wait for their turn or to share. This makes it hard for them to play with other children. Teens and adults seem to “leap before they look.” They may make quick decisions that have a long-term impact on their lives. They may spend too much money or change jobs often.
