Alison Poulton is a member of the Brain and Mind Centre, an Australian organization dedicated to the research and treatment of brain and mental disorders. said Talk about how a child’s behavior with ADHD may change as they get older.
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a behavioral and neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Poulton explained that the existence of these qualities was already noticed in childhood, when the child was able to walk. Hyperactivity and inability to concentrate in the future may negatively affect the child’s performance at school and success at work.
Studies of the brains of people with ADHD have shown differences in overall brain volume and the size of specific structures, such as the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus. These areas help coordinate emotions, learning, and behavior.
The researcher noted that a person’s self-control ability changes with age. This means that the severity of ADHD symptoms will vary across different periods of life. As people age and the demands on their abilities increase, they develop specific behavioral strategies that allow them to improve their quality of life and fulfill their daily and work responsibilities. ADHD patients also learn to control some aspects of their impulsive behavior. However, functional disorders associated with ADHD can occur at any age. This indicator is individual for each person.
