Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)

Abstract

            Health issues are accumulating all over, with their effect being supported and investigated by different research projects around the globe. Research helps to highlight cost transparency, consumer experience, and a system of transformation that can be used to deliver solutions to the studied health issues and disorders. The previous research on ADHD formed primary concerns of this research on the health sector that affects the indisposition and impermanence in our communities. Treating and maintaining these health disorders is becoming a costly burden to most of the people in society; hence, researches stand at the forefront to create awareness and provide the appropriate recommendations. These recommendations can help to handle mental health disorders efficiently before they get to be severe issues in our communities and even in the entire globe. They also help to carry out early exposures of their drawbacks like not listening, loose of anger and doing things too fast, which makes them impose a misguidedly blame on themselves.  Different research helps to create awareness for those who do not have ideas about this kind of disorder hence preventing long-term projection to the patient’s population.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)

Despite the successful research on different health issues and disorders, ADHD has made many families spend most of their resources on the treatment of this disease. ADHD is a self-focused behavior that makes one forget other people’s desires mostly characterized by intermissions, demonstrative mayhem, have unfinished tasks, and loose focus to anything when doing (Socanski et al., 2013). This disorder appears indifferent form since the ADHD combined type, which is the standard type of ADHD whereby someone has impulsive and hyperactive behaviors with destructibility; the second type is ADHD spontaneous, and the third one is ADHD inactive.  Since ADHD, people have a hard time focusing, and they may be more fidgety than others hence making them have a difficult time controlling their behaviors and how to associate with others..

Statistical Data and Prevention Strategies

It is confirmed that ADHD is a kind of mental disorder disease that can cause extreme levels of hyperactive and impulsive behavior, mostly to young children. Children may outgrow the ADHD as they grow up, but recent studies suggest that 30-60% of the affected individuals continue to show the significance of these disorders up to adulthood. Children with this kind of disorder area at a considerable threat for an extended term of undesirable consequences such as secondary education and difficulties in occupation realization.  This disease can likely stretch from childhood to adulthood, with 85% of the children being at risk of developing this disease, and 10.9% of adults receive treatment for this particular disease. The estimated number of children that are ever diagnosed with ADHD, according to national parent’s survey 2016 the number read 6.1 million, which is 94% whereby boys have a significant proportion of 12.9% and the girls lower than the number of the boy by having 5.6% (Danielson et al., 2018). In addition, six of ten children diagnosed with ADHD have additional mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. The condition that does not strain families on financial responsibilities to cater for treatments since insurance and other payments influence ADHD treatments positively.

Unlike other diseases, which require a prescribed control and prevention, one can help reduce the risk of ADHD during pregnancy by avoiding anything that can harm fetal development like alcohol and reactional drugs. Besides, these disorders can be prevented by protecting the child from exposure to severe pollutants that include lead paints and cigarette smoke (Christiansen et al., 2015). Lastly but not approved, limit screen time for children since it maybe is prudent for children to avoid exposure to watch TV and video games in their first five years of life. Therefore, with this evaluation and prevention strategies, parents reduce the cases of ADHD cases and promote high quality health care concerns to the children.

Impact of Quality Health Care Delivery on ADHD

The effect of quality healthcare delivered to patients can be recognized based on patient’s participation in the prevention and response to practitioner’s precautions since the prosperous dominance of disease depends on how every standard of healthcare is delivered from prescriptions patients receive. A high eminence of well-being care conveyance affects the indisposition and humanity of the people, mostly to those affected by ADHD. In the study, “Economic Impact of Childhood and Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in the United States,” projected that annual national cost that was excess for ADHD fluctuated from $143 B to $266 B (Doshi et al., 2012). In addition, it has increased the level of illiteracy since children diagnosed with ADHD education difficulties, and significantly impaired families, which decreases overall quality of life. In adulthood, employers may take advantage of when addressing ADHD at the works place from a study published in the “Journal of the American Academy and Adolescent Psychiatry” with a substantial economic impact of ADHD in the US.

The Global Impact of ADHD

The global rate of ADHD is at 5.29%, which is a universal essential disorder found in the human population across time and places. Since when the concept of ADHD spread from the US to other parts in the 1950s, ADHD issues have developed exponentially with no saturation point in sight. As a global figure, ADHD has been portrayed as an excellent explanation for why children and adults make mistakes by being just the way they are with struggles and failures to live up their potentials (Smith, 2017). These disorders have become a cultural and economic phenomenon rather than a medical issue, according to scientists who studied sociology of health and illness. However, symptoms of ADHD have contributed to a variety of health problems in the world, including substance abuse, chronic stress, and low self-esteem.

Health Behavior and Culture to ADHD

Disease management requires the participation of guidelines and recommendations from a responsible specialist. Therefore, the connection of health behaviors with the outcomes, and the credentialing barriers to health care behaviors commitment is commonly arranged for the young and older adults with ADHD. Hence, the behavior theory of the Health Belief Model proclaims that people should have an essential inclination to acts fabricated from experience, personal effectiveness, the dominance of the issue, and barrios to take the benefiting actions that can help.  Life experience acts are mitigating factors with internalized demographics, glassy of illiteracy, and collective variables that create health incongruence across diverse ADHD populace groups.

Values do also affect the conduct of an individual’s perception and aptitude to cope with the management of ADHD. From there, the ADHD population with the problematic situation of managing ADHD disorders tends to come from new groups since they are exposed to conditions that contribute to ADHD disorders. This modern generation, parents contributes to this issue to their unborn in the name of recreational lifestyle whereby others extends up to taking drugs and other reactional substance to the development of fetal when they are pregnant. To protect our children from this kind of disorder, awareness should be created to these digital era families with differentiated lifestyles so that they can be aware of the safety of their unborn when it comes to ADHD.

The Role of Technology in Treating ADHD

Technology can help children with ADHD stay focused on a class by engagement in a fun way, which allows the student to learn and build concentration skills on the task. Computer programs can also help these people reach goals and fight the urge to succumb to destruction.  A researcher in Singapore has managed to create a technological system that combines neuromonitoring video games to improve symptoms among patients with ADHD (Wrońska,.et al., 2017) This system tracks mental focus of the patient and adjusting it in accordance of the play using a brainwave-reading band placed on the head when playing the game.

Conclusion

            Many aspects have been improvised to regulate the conditions around ADHD patients and their capacity to gain their mental focus. The main aim is to curb the indisposition and improvement in the area of the brain related issues of attention and task orientation. The lawful and moral issues that govern the conditions of ADHD’s ability to gain the morale of medical exercise must be in line with high opinion for self-sufficiency, generosity, non-maleficence, and impartiality. Therefore, legal procedures should be inferred to the doctor and should be monitored accordingly. The interdisciplinary approach of treating these patients also determine their ability to be treated and be cured out of intervened prescriptions of the approaching team of practitioners (Foreman, 2006). This multidisciplinary team approach can be excellent in managing composite infections such as ADHD.

            As a scholar-practitioner, one should be conscious of the societal diversities and exertion to precise and guide pragmatic communal inequities. Since ADHD is becoming a more significant mental health disorder in our today’s community, we must take the role of leadership and a campaigner for shared transformation within our communities. This will enable one to consider mental health care in the city, and all socio-economical classes to make a positive change to their conditions and perception towards terms of ADHD’s population. In addition, it will be a high chance of a scholar-practitioner to eradicate cultural and indigenous mental health discrepancies for these disorders and other diseases by becoming an affirmative communal transformation agent.
