Possibly the most studied or documented of the child psychopathologies is Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) which is marked with learning disabilities, mood disorders, and / or aggression.

Hyperactivity and disruptive behavior peak in the preschool years and then gradually decline with age, although inattentive symptoms are generally lifelong.

Hyperactivity and mental retardation are common occurrences, although the degree of each varies.

The company focuses its drug research and development on the relatively common condition Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ), as is made evident by the fact that three of its currently leading medications ( Adderall / Adderall XR, Daytrana, and the newly developed Vyvanse ), are intended for that disorder.

They are currently being investigated as potential treatment for a range of conditions involving mental disability and disturbances such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Treatment-resistant depression ( TRD ) or neurological disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ), among others.

Hyperactivity and a decreased attention span are observed in as many as 80 % of patients as well as rage, aggression, and anxiety.

* Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD ( problems with concentration, memory, attention with hyperactivity seen mostly in childhood and adolescence )

Children in foster care have a higher probability of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and deficits in executive functioning, anxiety as well as other developmental problems.

Modafinil has been shown to be effective in the treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ), depression, cocaine addiction, Parkinson's Disease, schizophrenia, shift workers ' sleep disorder and disease-related fatigue.

In support of the Sympathoadrenal Hyperactivity model proposed, it has been hypothesized that a defect in calcium regulatory proteins within the sympathetic neurons may bring about the onset of NMS.

Williams syndrome is also strongly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and related psychological symptoms such as poor concentration, hyperactivity, and social disinhibition.

Bedingfield was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ), which he said has been reflected in his songwriting.

During that Webography, he also announced that when he was five, he was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ), which led to him getting involved with CHADD ( Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ), a non-profit organization based out of Landover, Maryland.

During Levine's teenage years, he was medically diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Hyperactivity is a physical state in which a person is abnormally active.

It may also be used to treat symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, as the underproduction of norepinephrine has been increasingly linked to symptoms associated with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Even Little Chrissy ( Lauren Hulsey ), his six-year-old sister, feels the pressure of celebrity when her eating disorder is exposed, bringing unwanted attention from nosy child welfare agencies ( she's mistakenly diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and prescribed Ritalin.

With many symptoms reminiscent of ASD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) has also been a focus of HEG research.

Sluggishness, drowsiness, and daydreaming were initially found to be common in children receiving the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder ( ADD ) without Hyperactivity in the 1980s.

* EEG abnormalities from 2 years of age

Diagnosing a patient includes obtaining family medical history and a physical examination, and may include such additional tests as computerized tomography ( CT ) scans, magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scans, electroencephalogram ( EEG ), blood tests, genetic testing ( such as chromosome karyotyping and tests for specific gene abnormalities ), spinal taps, electromyography muscle tests, or muscle and nerve biopsy.

Brain abnormalities can be measured using magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), computed tomography scan ( CT ) and electroencephalograhy ( EEG ), which can provide detailed information about specific brain structures.

Girls with Triple X syndrome are at increased risk of delayed language development, EEG abnormalities, motor-coordination problems and auditory-processing disorders, and scoliosis.

The inter-ictal period is often used by neurologists when diagnosing epilepsy since an EEG trace will often show small inter-ictal spiking and other abnormalities known by neurologists as subclinical seizures.

" EEG abnormalities of the kind often found in the interictal EEGs of patients with epilepsy were seen in five cases in the form of paroxysmal bursts or focal spikes and sharp waves.

In fact, flashing lights and hyperventilation are activating procedures used in clinical EEG to help trigger seizures to aid diagnosis.

In 1981, the International League Against Epilepsy ( ILAE ) proposed a classification scheme for individual seizures that remains in common use .< ref name =" ILEA1981 "> This classification is based on observation ( clinical and EEG ) rather than the underlying pathophysiology or anatomy and is outlined later on in this article.

The most widespread classification of the epilepsies divides epilepsy syndromes by location or distribution of seizures ( as revealed by the appearance of the seizures and by EEG ) and by cause.

These epilepsies can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms of seizures can easily be confused with nonepileptic spells and, because of limitations of the EEG, be difficult to " see " with standard scalp EEG.

* Lennox-Gastaut syndrome ( LGS ) is a generalized epilepsy that consists of a triad of developmental delay or childhood dementia, mixed generalized seizures, and EEG demonstrating a pattern of approximately 2 Hz " slow " spike-waves.

* West syndrome is a triad of developmental delay, seizures termed infantile spasms, and EEG demonstrating a pattern termed hypsarrhythmia.

Seizure prediction-based devices using long-term EEG recordings is presently being evaluated as a new way to stop epileptic seizures before they appear clinically.

However, the seizures described above resemble those of epilepsy both outwardly, and on EEG testing.

Neurotherapists use EEG biofeedback when treating addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ), learning disability, anxiety disorders ( including worry, obsessive-compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder ), depression, migraine, and generalized seizures.

He described interictal activity ( EEG potentials between seizures ) and recorded a partial complex seizure in 1933.

Gibbs, Davis, and Lennox inaugurated clinical electroencephalography in 1935 by identifying abnormal EEG rhythms associated with epilepsy, including interictal spike waves and 3 Hz activity in absence seizures.

Typical absence seizures usually occur in the context of idiopathic generalised epilepsies and EEG shows fast > 2. 5 Hz generalised spike-wave discharges.

The only diagnostic test for absence seizures is EEG.

An ambulatory EEG monitoring over 24 hours can quantitate the number of seizures per day and their most likely times of occurrence.

The benefit to using MEG instead of EEG is that these fields are highly localized and give rise to better understanding of how specific loci react to stimulation or if these regions over-activate ( as in epileptic seizures ).

This finding was applied to humans in 1971 when Sterman trained an epileptic to control her seizures through a combination of sensorimotor rhythm and EEG neurotherapy to the extent that she obtained a driver's license after only three months of treatment.

In a 2011 study of children with intractable epilepsy accompanied by attention deficit disorder, EEG showed an improvement to both seizures and attention impairments following corpus callosotomy.

Bicoherence measurements have been carried out for EEG signals monitoring in sleep, wakefulness and seizures.
