Children with ADHD experiences problem mainly in three areas of functioning: sustaining attention (inattention or attention deficit), impulsiveness, and hyperactivity (or over activity); it develops before the age of seven. Along with ADHD symptoms, children often have behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and social deficits.
