History
Sir Alexander Crichton M.D.,( 1763-1856) was the first person to document a disorder similar to ADHD in 1798.
Franz Kramer and Hans Pollnow diagnosed children with the term "Hyperkinetic Disease" in 1932. Symptoms included restlessness and remarkable motor activity.

History
In 1980 the disorder was relabeled to attention deficit disorder (ADD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
IN 1987 ADD was renamed ADHD to recognize the hyperactivity element of the disorder.

Males are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as females.
Children as well as adults are affected by ADHD.

Causes
It is believed to more genetic than anything else, but some environmental factors may play a role in developing ADHD.
ADHD is often seen within the same families indicating it to be hereditary.
Smoking cigarettes, consuming alcohol during pregnancy and exposure to high levels of lead have shown to be related to cases of ADHD in children.

Treatment
There is no known cure for ADHD, only medication helps to manage the side effects of the disorder.
Typically, stimulant medications are used to manage symptoms of ADHD.
Stimulants increase the amount of dopamine levels in the brain which can help boost concentration levels and focus, while reducing hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

By locating the genes that cause the disorder, scientist may one day be able to prevent and better treat ADHD.
For pregnant mothers, playing it safe and staying away from any drugs, alcohol and lead exposure is best.
