Abstract

This paper provides an overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in terms of its causes, prevention and treatment. In the literature review section, the definition and types of ADHD are firstly presented, namely Hyperactive, Inattentive and Combined. Naturally, the environmental and personal causes of ADHD are presented as well as some of the adverse effects on the sufferer and even on the offspring of the sufferer, and it is found that the most significant factor is the parental environment, so it is inferred that in the treatment of ADHD as well as in the prevention of ADHD, some guidance can be given to parents to intervene in the development of ADHD through them to avoid lifelong effects on the sufferer. Some preventive measures and specific approaches to treatment are then discussed. Finally, some suggestions are made for future treatment and follow-up research on ADHD. Overall, reading this article will provide a comprehensive understanding of ADHD, especially its causes, a detailed understanding of the causes for better treatment interventions, and an insight into the effects of ADHD on people.
