As of today, there are many social and health problems in Kuwait. Even though, it is a country that is financially and economically stable, there are several problems. If you ask a random person about the problems in Kuwait, he/she would probably not know. ADD ADD or Attention Deflect Disorder is the problem of being overly hyper and not being able to focus for a long period of time (ATTENTION Deflect Disorder, ADAM). People with ADD usually day dream too much and act impulsively. They also fidget a lot, and that helps them think ( ADD, Melinda Smith). An adult or child with ADD constantly faces challenges in everyday life: i) Really poor time management skills, which affects their education, balance and relationships with other people. For example, a person with ADD is more likely to be late to meeting, hence they’re change of getting fires is more likely (Adult ADD, Katelyn, Nadeau). ii) Disorganization; Aside from organizing their time schedule, people with ADD have a hard time with finding what they want. Due to they’re overlapping thoughts, it becomes easy for them to forget where they placed their things (Adult ADD, Katelyn, Nadeau). iii) They tend to forget a lot. This ties to the second challenge, and is again caused by their overlapping thoughts (Adult ADD, Katelyn, Nadeau). iv) In consistence. People with ADD tend to thing in chains. One idea leads to another, and another and another…That is why most of them seem really philosophical and deep. However, that is one perk. Their lives are actually greatly affected by their ‘’thought chains’’. Because they’re thoughts travel to a really deep level, they forget their main point, or the root of the thought, and they move on to another thought that was led by the root though... ... middle of paper ... ...n.d.

Most people believe ADD and ADHD people have the same emotional and behavioral tendencies. Emotionally, ADD and ADHD is either at high point or low point there is no in between. Both ADD and ADHD adolescents and adults are prone to having severe anxiety. This causes a person with either disorder to feel frustrated with themselves. Case in point,
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is broadly described as a neurobehavioral disorder where a person has difficulty paying attention and complying with basic commands. On a biological level, ADHD is hereditary, where a parent passes the disorder to their offspring through genes, while on a cellular level, ADHD affects cell functions such as cellular respiration, more specifically, glucose metabolism (Zimmer, 2009). The public’s perception is clear; ADHD has an over diagnosing problem at a systemic level, where doctors in the United States over diagnose children with ADHD. However, a review of the evidence for and against the argument of ADHD over diagnosing suggest that the disorder does not suffer from an over diagnosing problem. Finally, while there are several methods used to treat ADHD, including medication and behavioral correction therapy, an

ADHD is a disorder that has been on the rise for several years now. The disorder is one that can cause many impairments to a child’s attention span, making it difficult to concentrate and to keep on task, especially on schoolwork. (Graham, 2007) The statistics have been growing ...
ADHD is an exceedingly real diagnosis for many children in the United States. Are we over diagnosing our little ones just to keep from dealing with unpleasant behavior? “ On average 1 of every 10 to 15 children in the United States has been diagnosed with the disorder, and 1 in every 20 to 25 uses a stimulant medication” (Mayes, Bagwell, & Erkulwater, 2008). Several believe that virtually all ADHD diagnoses are retractable with appropriate discipline of children instead of being so hasty in medicating them. The material found on the CDC website describes facts about ADHD, it clarifies the signs, symptoms, types, causes, diagnosis tools, and treatment forms of ADHD. What the article neglects to go into is the reality that there is a considerable amount of controversy surrounding ADHD. The CDCs usage of ethos, pathos, and logos and by what method the website manipulates them to affect the reader will be the basis of this paper.

The purpose of this research was to describe and understand Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the most effective treatment options that are available today. ADHD is a mental health disorder that affects 3-9% of the population in ways that, if left untreated, can wreak havoc on the mind of the sufferer. It makes concentration difficult, large tasks seem insurmountable, and causes impulsive and hyperactive tendencies. Fortunately, research and experiments have led to new and effective treatments to help those who suffer from this disorder (Dupaul 8). This research examined journal articles and internet sources on the topic to help unlock the complexities of the disorder through scientific research. It also was a way to separate the myths of the disorder from the truths, while discovering the causes, diagnosis methods, and best treatment alternatives to battle this prevalent disorder.
