October is ADHD Awareness Month.

October is ADHD Awareness month, so here are a few key facts:

*ADHD is a brain-based medical disorder.
*ADHD affects people of every age, class and IQ range.
* ADHD is typified by an on-going pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that gets in the way of daily life or typical development.
*ADHD and ADD relate to the same disorder. The difference is that those with ADD do not experience hyperactivity.
*Individuals with ADHD or ADD may have difficulty in organising and managing tasks such as homework, shopping or housework.

The effects of ADHD are sometimes reduced with medication, the problem being that all medication has side effects. You may like to look into natural alternatives to prescription medication for ADHD.
