Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD, is a developmental stage that is out of proportion to one's capacity for sustaining focus. It is typified by issues with behavior control including restlessness, difficulty in ordering things and an inability to wait.

I'm Nana, and I'm in Seattle, US, studying nature connections.We recently had snow for the first time this year.

When I asked a friend of mine who takes ADHD medication daily about it, he was willing to discuss it. In this article, I will focus on the US and Japan. What is happening right now, and how is ADHD being treated? First, Let’s define ADHD. Approximately 3-7% of school-age children receive a diagnosis, with boys receiving a diagnosis three to five times more frequently than girls. In adults, the male-to-female ratio is almost 1:1, but the diagnosis rate is 2.5%. According to a Shinshu University School of Medicine survey released in 2022, the number of new ADHD patients in Japan increased by 830,000 between 2010 and 2019. ADHD support is a serious commitment that can be carried out at home, at school, and in medical facilities. Children with ADHD require support considering their special needs. Clear instructions, avoiding emotional reprimands, praising effectively, creating a distraction-free environment, breaking up learning tasks into smaller chunks, and taking breaks when necessary are all considered to be effective in everyday life. It is critical to carefully assess whether medication for ADHD is required for daily living before prescribing it.
