learn more about medical problems and disorders. Take the
attention deficit disorder as an example. What is the difference
between attention deficit disorder and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder? Both these problems seem to be similar
but the different terminology used may create the impression
that these are two separate complications. The truth is that
both these phrases refer to the same disorder. The disorder
involving attention incorporates three aspects-attention,
hyperactivity and impulsivity. A person suffering from this
disorder may either remain inattentive despite your best efforts
or may remain hyperactive despite your best efforts to calm that
person down or may not show any hyperactivity but may be very
impulsive in his or her actions. These are three aspects or
facets of the same disorder and have to be treated in a similar
manner. This problem is common in kids. Statistics indicate that
boys are at a higher risk for this
