- Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) belongs to the category of neurodevelopmental disorders. The morbidity among worldwide school-aged children is 5%, and 30% to 50% of it would continue to be influenced by the subsequent syndrome. The importance of exploring ADHD is very obvious and vital: to attract people’s attention to ADHD for better understanding and care for this minor population of ADHD children. Three aspects were explored and elaborated on in this research: etiology, treatment, and impact. In etiology, biological and environmental factors are mentioned. The treatment methods include both pharmacological aspects, which brings up stimulant and non-stimulant medication, and the non-pharmacological aspect, which considers behavioral parenting strategies and cognitive behavioral therapy. As for impact, we focus on how ADHD affects children’s social interaction from the perspective of individuals, family, and society. We hope to provide general information on ADHD in helping children with ADHD better adapt and live in this society.
