ADHD Overview Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) symptoms may begin in childhood and continue into adulthood. ADHD and ADD symptoms, such as hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattentiveness, can cause problems at home, school, work, or in relationships.
The exact cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn't known. But it may run in families. Ongoing research is focused on finding the genes that cause a person to be likely to get ADHD. A mother's use of cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs during pregnancy may increase the risk for ADHD.  
Also, exposure to lead may cause symptoms linked with ADHD Although many parents believe that foods with sugar and food additives make their children more hyperactive, these foods haven't been shown to cause ADHD
Prognosis…..
Exams and Tests If ADHD is suspected, the person should be evaluated by a health care professional. There is no test that can make or exclude a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a pattern of the symptoms listed above. When the person with suspected ADHD is a child, parents and teachers are usually involved during the evaluation process. Most children with ADHD have at least one other developmental or mental health problem. This problem may be a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder; a learning disability; or a tic disorder. A doctor can help determine whether these other conditions are present.

Treatment Treating ADHD is a partnership between the health care provider and the patient. If the patient is a child, parents and often teachers are involved. For treatment to work, it is important to: Set specific, appropriate goals.
Start medicine and/or talk therapy.
Follow-up regularly with the doctor to check on goals, results, and any side effects of medicines. During these visits, information should be gathered from the patient and if relevant, parents and teachers.  
If treatment does not seem to work, the health care provider will likely: Confirm the person has ADHD.
Check for medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
Make sure the treatment plan is being followed.
