Useful Information about ODD, Autism, and Aggression
ADHD (Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder) is a controversial psychiatric disorder affecting an estimated 3 to 5 percent of children around the world. It is a neurobehavioral disorder described as ongoing impulsiveness and lack of attention. Some people diagnosed with the disorder suffer from a factor of hyperactivity and some do not. About twice as many boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD. Research has projected that about 35 percent of children with ADHD also experience ODD.
