Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder — commonly referred to as ADHD — is a brain disorder that causes ongoing problems with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness that can interfere with function and development.

Causes:
Still it isn’t sure what exactly causes ADHD, but there are certain factors that put people at a higher risk for developing the disorder,

- Genetics, or having a family member who has ADHD
- Certain environmental factors such as lead exposure
- Development problems — for example, problems with the development of the central nervous system
- Maternal drug or alcohol use or smoking when pregnant
- Premature birth

Symptoms:
The person with ADHD might procrastinate; not finish homework, chores or work; and frequently bounce from one activity to another, never really completing any of them. Some other symptoms include:

- Disorganization
- Lack of focus
- A hard time paying attention to details and a tendency to make careless mistakes
- Messy and seemingly careless work
- Trouble staying on topic while talking
- Not listening to others
- Not following social rules
- Easily distracted by trivial things or noises
- Forgetfulness about daily activities

Management:
For children, a regimen of therapy, training and counselling is usually prescribed to keep them on track. It is usually a combination, and sometimes trial and error, to figure out what works best for each individual.

It's also important to note that while therapy can be an important aspect of treatment for childrens diagnosed with ADHD, training for parents and family can help the people who are around them better deal with the symptoms and stress.
