This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects approximately five percent of American school-age children. In a classroom of thirty, it is likely that at least one child will have ADHD. Symptoms include extreme levels of hyperactivity, inattention, and disruptive behavior. A Harvard University study published in September 2004 reported that students with ADHD are less likely than their non-ADHD peers to complete high school and less likely to attend college. The study found that on average those adults with ADHD have household incomes that are about $10,000 lower for high school graduates and $4,300 lower for college graduates, compared with those who do not have ADHD. Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a concise, clearly written overview of the condition’s symptoms and the range of possible treatments. Chapters explain how certain behavioral patterns can be misdiagnosed as ADHD, how early diagnosis and treatment of the condition is critical, how the various forms of the condition affect a child’s psychology and socialization, and how parents can help to address the condition effectively and supportively. Understanding ADHD provides useful, up-to-date information on a condition that can be treated with early diagnosis and intervention. The book will prove useful to professionals and parents seeking a better understanding of children and childhood development.

Download or read book Assessing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Arthur D. Anastopoulos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) has evolved into a sophisticated balance of science and clinical judgement essential for arriving at reliable and valid diagnostic de- sions. Because of the precarious mix of clinical and empirical skill needed to evaluate children with this disorder, diagnostic practice in this area has been found wanting by many critics. In fact, a 1998 National Institutes of Health consensus panel concluded that “existing diagnostic treatment practices ... point to the need for improved awareness by the health service sector conce- ing an appropriate assessment, treatment, and follow-up. A more consistent set of diagnostic procedures and practice guidelines is of utmost importance” (p. 21). Drs. Arthur D. Anastopoulos and Terri L. Shelton have designed a book that addresses this need. A number of themes are highlighted throughout the text. Perhaps the most important is that the assessment guidelines set forth in this book represent a balance between science and practice. The authors account for the realities of clinical practice in an age of managed care while challenging clinicians to heed the lessons of empirical research. Although the use of empirically based asse- ment procedures may at times fly in the face of cost constraints (e. g. , systematic evaluation of medication effects), the authors present a strong argument for them. Further, they call upon their vast clinical experience to provide concrete suggestions for translating research findings into effective evaluations.

Download or read book Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by David Gozal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-28 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral disorder affecting 5–10% of children and adolescents and 3% of adults. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: From Genes to Patients aims to provide a comp- hensive, state-of-the-art overview of the critical aspects of ADHD, and hopefully will serve as a quick and up-to-date reference source for professionals with an int- est in ADHD. The book is divided into three major areas that follow an historical survey. The first group of chapters deals with current theories on the pathophysiology of ADHD, and focuses on neurotransmitters and the contributions and validity of animal m- els. The second section emphasizes the evaluation and treatment of patients with ADHD, from the day-to-day approach by the clinical psychologist to the more sophisticated anatomical and functional imaging strategies that have emerged in the last decade. In addition, chapters dealing with specific impairments, such as those pertaining to reading, social interaction, and working memory, are also included for more detailed analysis of these important aspects and their respective contributions to global functioning. The third and final section provides an expanded review on the pharmacotherapy of ADHD and the appropriate methods for selection of specific drugs for individual patients based on drug kinetics and gene expression.

Book excerpt: « Je suis comme un ordinateur qui n’arrête jamais de fonctionner, même la nuit. » Le trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) est souvent uniquement associé aux enfants. Or, il affecte aussi et dans une large mesure, des adultes, tant sur le plan personnel que dans leur vie professionnelle. En effet, tous les enfants qui souffrent de TDAH ne s’en « sortent » pas et de plus en plus de gens s’entendent dire à l’âge adulte qu’ils en sont atteints. Longtemps, pourtant, leurs problèmes n’ont pas été pleinement reconnus. Ce guide fondamental réunit toute une série d’informations importantes et de recommandations pratiques. Comment le TDAH se manifeste-t-il exactement chez l’adulte ? La médication est-elle toujours nécessaire ? Quels sont les traitements envisageables ? Quelles sont les répercussions du TDAH dans les relations personnelles ? Et comment s’accommoder de ce problème au travail ? Rédigé dans un style clair et accessible, illustré par des témoignages, cet ouvrage pratique s'adresse à toute personne touchée de près ou de loin par l’hyperactivité de l’adulte.

Download or read book L hyperactivit de l enfant written by Valérie Vantalon and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 2005 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longtemps, le concept de TDAH a été au cœur d’une vive polémique qui a parfois fait oublier l’enfant hyperactif, dont la prise en compte est primordiale car les praticiens se doivent d’aider à surmonter les situations sociales, scolaires et familiales où ce trouble génère rejet d’autrui, perturbations comportementales et échec scolaire. Reconnaître le trouble TDAH, le traiter, prévenir ses complications, sont un défi quotidien et font appel à des techniques spécifiques rigoureuses et en constants remaniements. Destiné aux cliniciens, cet ouvrage clair et didactique a été réalisé par des professionnels expérimentés dans leur pratique avec les enfants TDAH. Le souci des auteurs est de s’extraire des débats contradictoires et de présenter aux cliniciens, pédiatres, neurologues, psychiatres, médecins généralistes et scolaires, mais également aux psychologues, orthophonistes, éducateurs et psychomotriciens, l’état des connaissances cliniques comme étiopathogéniques, les outils diagnostiques et les procédures thérapeutiques actuellement disponibles dans ce trouble. SOMMAIRE : - ASPECTS CLINIQUES : description clinique, aspects développementaux, évolution à l’âge adulte - TROUBLES ASSOCIÉS : troubles des apprentissages, comorbidité avec les troubles du comportement et les troubles émotionnels, troubles du sommeil et du maintien de l’éveil chez l’enfant TDAH - ÉVALUATION DIAGNOSTIQUE - ÉTIOPATHOGÉNIE: facteurs psychosociaux, aspects neurologiques et génétiques, aspects neuropsychologiques - TRAITEMENT : stratégies thérapeutiques, thérapies cognitives et comportementales du TDAH, traitement psycho-éducatif en milieu scolaire, rééducation psychomotrice de l’enfant agité et distrait La rééducation orthophonique de l’enfant TDAH, pharmacothérapies du TDAH
