By Jessica Hayes


Usually, ADHD is a complicated mental condition that affects success and performance and relationship of kids in school. The symptoms of this condition often vary and can be hard to recognize in some situations. However, when you are an ADHD advocate you are able to reshape the way other people see, treat and accommodate those with this disorder.

Different classes of people can be advocates for this condition ranging from teachers, friends, families, and leaders. Making strategized approaches and visits to federal and state policymakers is one way in which this advocacy goals and movements can be achieved. Once you become an advocate for these patients will help in eliminating all negative views and valuations done against the victims. It is also another method of giving the child understanding another perspective.

This is a condition that is mainly associated with young people such as children and teens but in some cases, it affects even adults. In fact, it is one of the most popular and common mental disorder that affects children. The affected children become hyperactive a condition that affects their ability to pay attention as they cannot control impulses within them. These types of behaviors affect both school and home lives. In addition, the boy child is prone to this disorder more than the girl child. This has been proved as boys with concentration disorder are more than girls.

Adults suffering from this disorder have difficulties when trying to manage time, set goals, becoming organized or to hold a job. They also suffer from addiction problems, self-esteem and relationship maintenance among other factors. On the other hand, the effects that are found in children fall into three categories, the impulsivity, inattention and hyperactivity.

The inattention symptoms are such as the child being easily distracted, being unable to finish tasks or follow directions and the child does not seem to listen. Also, the child makes careless mistakes and does not pay attention. Other inattention symptoms are such as forgetting daily tasks, losing things often, and daydreaming. On the other hand, the hyperactivity symptoms are such as trouble playing quietly and the child cannot remain seated. Also, the child tend talk excessively and always on the move. Impulsivity symptoms are such as trouble waiting for his turn and interrupting others.

On the other hand, the ADHD symptoms in adults change as a person becomes older. These symptoms usually include low self-esteem, chronic forgiveness, lateness, anxiety, and problems at work. These adults tend to experience problems controlling anger and are often impulsive. At the same time, they may abuse drugs or become addicted. Adults could also show symptoms such as getting frustrated easily, chronic boredom, relationship problems, mood swings, being unorganized, as well as depression.

Advocating for the ADHD patients, however, promotes positive behavior interpretation by other people. Because of this, the perception other people have of such people is changed. As a result, their reaction towards them become positive.

They also suffer from conditions like depression, becoming unorganized, having mood swings as well as chronic boredom. Becoming an advocate for these victims involves creating awareness and change in perception of certain activities done by these individuals as well as the whole negative environment surrounding the patients.
