Abstract

This paper aims to provide an effective overview of ADHD, so that educators and other individuals who may be involved in the treatment of ADHD patients, especially young patients, can effectively obtain basic information about what is ADHD, the causes of ADHD and the popular treatment methods of ADHD. Various literature and studies were referred to in this paper to review and compare different causes and treatments. Researches held distinct opinions about the causes of ADHD, and the debate focuses on the nature and nurture factors of ADHD. Some studies believe ADHD is inborn and genetic while other studies emphasize the importance of nurture factors during their life, such as the environment that patients grow up in and the lifestyle they have. Depending on distinct arguments, there developed different treatments like using medication to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and changing the environments that patients living in through taking interventions with the family. These arguments and treatments will be discussed detailed in this paper.
