Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder od adhd is a psychological disorder that typically arises in childhood in which the child suffers from lack of attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Both oppositional defiant disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are disorders that are typically seen in troubled" children, more often than not in school/academic settings. I found it very interesting the difference in approach to treatment for these disorders. Typically, with adhd, we see that children are medicated with little to no talk or behavioral therapies.
