Inattention and hyperactivity\/impulsivity are the key behaviours of ADHD. Some people with ADHD only have problems with one of the behaviours, while others have both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, which is referred to as combined ADHD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Risk factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Researchers are not sure what causes ADHD. Like many other conditions, several factors can contribute to ADHD, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Genler<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hamilelik s\u0131ras\u0131nda sigara, alkol veya uyu\u015fturucu kullan\u0131m\u0131<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hamilelik s\u0131ras\u0131nda \u00e7evresel toksinlere maruz kalma<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Gen\u00e7 ya\u015fta y\u00fcksek d\u00fczeyde kur\u015fun gibi \u00e7evresel toksinlere maruz kalma<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • D\u00fc\u015f\u00fck do\u011fum a\u011f\u0131rl\u0131\u011f\u0131<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Beyin yaralanmalar\u0131<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          ADHD is more common in males than females, and females with ADHD are more likely to have problems primarily with inattention. Other conditions, such as learning disabilities, anxiety disorder, conduct disorder, depression, and substance abuse, are more common in people with ADHD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          \n

          Diagnosis of ADHD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          DEHB te\u015fhisi, DEHB konusunda uzman bir psikolog veya psikiyatrist gibi uygun vas\u0131flara sahip bir klinisyen taraf\u0131ndan kapsaml\u0131 bir de\u011ferlendirme yap\u0131lmas\u0131n\u0131 gerektirir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For a person to receive a diagnosis of ADHD, the symptoms of inattention and\/or hyperactivity-impulsivity must be chronic or long-lasting and impair the person\u2019s functioning. The doctor will also ensure that any ADHD symptoms are not due to another medical or psychiatric condition. For an adolescent or adult to receive a diagnosis of ADHD, the symptoms need to have been present before age 12.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          \"Terapi\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          DEHB belirtileri 3 ila 6 ya\u015f aras\u0131nda ortaya \u00e7\u0131kabilir ve ergenlik ve yeti\u015fkinlik boyunca devam edebilir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          DEHB belirtileri duygusal veya disiplin sorunlar\u0131 ile kar\u0131\u015ft\u0131r\u0131labilir veya sessiz, iyi huylu \u00e7ocuklarda tamamen g\u00f6zden ka\u00e7abilir, bu da tan\u0131da gecikmeye yol a\u00e7ar. Tan\u0131 konmam\u0131\u015f DEHB'li yeti\u015fkinlerin ge\u00e7mi\u015finde d\u00fc\u015f\u00fck akademik performans, i\u015f yerinde sorunlar veya zor ya da ba\u015far\u0131s\u0131z ili\u015fkiler olabilir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          DEHB belirtileri ki\u015fi ya\u015fland\u0131k\u00e7a zaman i\u00e7inde de\u011fi\u015febilir.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          In young children with ADHD, hyperactivity-impulsivity is the most predominant symptom. As a child reaches high school, the symptom of inattention may become more prominent and cause the child to struggle academically. In adolescence, hyperactivity seems to lessen and may show more often as feelings of restlessness or fidgeting, but inattention and impulsivity may remain. Many people with ADHD also struggle with relationships and antisocial behaviours. Inattention, restlessness, and impulsivity tend to persist into adulthood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          While there is no cure for ADHD, currently available treatments can help reduce symptoms and improve functioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Treatments include medication, psychotherapy, education or training, or a combination of treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will provide a diagnostic outcome at the end of your assessment in most cases. At times they may feel more information or further discussion is required within the clinical team. If this is the case, they will explain this to you. You will be contacted by email to confirm your diagnostic outcome once your assessment has been reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
