In essence, addictions can be grouped into the same classification as any other mental disorder and should be treated as such. Morris and Maisto generalize the addictive disorders and group the disorders under the term, substance-related disorders (2002, p490). But this does not account for the people who are addicted to gambling, or sexually addicted people. Although sexual disorders can be classified by themselves entirely, some can correlate with addiction. Many sexual-related mental disorders can be traced to an addictive disorder in which that person manifests addictive personality traits. <br>Genetics<br>Having been born the son of an alcoholic, I also have the same traits my alcoholic father has.

Preview: ... ho are overly impulsive are unable to curb their immediate reactions or think before they act. As a result, they may blurt out inappropriate comments or they may run into the street without looking.<br>The symptoms of ADHD vary according to the three phases of youth.<br>Childhood ADHD: <br>Estimates show that ADHD affect up to 5% of school-aged children. At times, it is difficult to know whether the child's excessive activity or inattention is normal for his or her age or not, as all children with ADHD do the same things other children do. This renders the symptoms of ADHD to be a bit confusing. A doctor can help rule out other possible explanations.<br>Teenage ADHD:<br>The most common symptoms that may be indications of ADHD in adolescents are: <br> General untidiness, in school and at home. <br> Being consistently late with assignments. <br> Constantly losing things such as homework. <br> Being easily distracted with a brief attention span. <br> Regularly running late for school. <br> Doing everything with a deadline at the very last minute only. <br> An unusual sense of fairness. <br> Coming up with loads of excuses for not getting things done. <br> Giving the impression of not listening when being spoken to. <br><br>Adult ADHD <br>Adults with ADHD often experience problems with educational achievements, employment, and interpersonal relationships. They have negative perceptions of themselves as being lazy, stupid or even crazy. <br>Current trends in diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder:<br>The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clinical practice guideline emphasizes the appropriate diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in school-aged children. According to the American Psychiatric Association, symptoms usually start before a child is seven, and they have to occur in at least two different settings, like home, school, and social situations like a restaurant or church, for at least six months. Plus these behaviors must not be caused by another disorder.<br>Questions about the child during the process of diagnosis: <br> Do the symptoms of ADHD occur on a regular basis? Are they excessive? <br> Are they causing problems in more than one place? For example, does he act like this in school, at home, or anywhere else?<br> Are his actions in response to a certain situation, or do they happen all the time?<br> Do other kids his age act the same way?<br>Several different areas may be investigated:<br> Family history - there is a genetic basis for ADHD. If a close relative has it, the child may, too.<br> A difficult pregnancy or delivery could have caused trauma to the child's brain. This could make your child more likely to develop behavioral issues.<br> Is the child on track developmentally? Is he behind or advanced for his age in certain areas?<br> A family situation, including divorce, tension in the home, abuse, and other issues, may be causing the child to act out. <br> The childs medical history. Does he have allergies or food intolerances? His hearing and vision should be tested, too.<br> How does he get along with his brothers and sisters?<br> Is he eating properly and sleeping ...
