Signs Of Adhd

Inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity are signs of ADHD. To know if your child suffers from inattention you can see if he or she has hard time listening to others or attending to details and if they are easily distracted and forgetful. Joanna Garcia, Psychotherapist with Baptist Health Care and Counseling, says all of that happens in the prefrontal cortex and one example is procrastination, that is putting an assignment off to the last minute. "Why does this happen? People with ADHD have poor time horizons, so that's where you see running late, poor time management and not being able to organize things," she highlights.
