Original Paragraph

Further research needs to be done on the following paragraph to support the claims made.

Mental disorder is associated with behavioral patterns that cause distress or impairment in human functioning. The definition of the features of various mental diseases varies between different individuals. One of the most common mental disorders is Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is associated with lack of attention and extreme reaction that leads to interference in the functioning and the development of the body. The signs and symptoms associated with ADHD include lack of awareness or excessive hyperactivity in situations that do not require any reaction. ADHD and many other mental disorders have been overlooked in schools, with little consideration been given on how a child is behaving or acting and that might not be their fault. The blame goes on the child and how it is just excused, or they’re not just trying hard enough.
