Question 2

Describe one of the case studies of ADHD in your book and highlight the symptoms that are consistent with the diagnosis of ADHD.

Accepted Answer

One of the case studies in our book involves a 10-year-old boy named Alex who was diagnosed with ADHD. Alex exhibited symptoms such as difficulty paying attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. In school, he struggled to stay focused on tasks and often interrupted his classmates during lessons. At home, he had trouble following instructions and frequently engaged in risky behaviors without considering the consequences. These symptoms were consistent with the diagnosis of ADHD, as they aligned with the criteria outlined in the DSM-5, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Through a combination of therapy, medication, and support from his family and teachers, Alex was able to manage his symptoms and improve his overall functioning. This case study highlights the importance of early identification and intervention for children with ADHD to help them thrive in various aspects of their lives.
