ADHD : attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, adolescents, and adults
ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) is the most recent term given by psychiatrists to a childhood disorder that has had a variety of names in the past. This disorder was first termed “hyperactivity,” then “attention-deficit disorder” (ADD), and then, to differentiate between children who had ADD but did not exhibit hyperactivity, either (plain) ADD or ADD with hyperactivity. The new “official” term, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has been chosen by psychiatric experts, and its symptoms have been published by the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The definitions in this manual are widely acknowledged and are used among doctors, in research, and administratively for purposes of insurance. The earlier term, ADD, survives in the name of a major parent and patient support group, C.H.A.D.D.
