On this page, we have collected everything you need to know about the history of the disorder. We are talking about a syndrome that has not only remained relevant for several decades but is also gaining momentum
Children in Russia have an established diagnosis of ADHD. However, not all children with symptoms of the disorder are examined.
Children in Russia and the CIS countries receive a diagnosis of ADHD after diagnosis. In Russia, approximately 8% of children have symptoms of ADHD and a diagnosis.
The diagnosis of ADHD is studied by doctors, psychologists, and psychotherapists. This is not a modern disorder but one that has long been studied by science.
ADHD is a disorder or feature of attention and behavior that occurs in children due to genetic and psychosocial factors and disorders in the functioning of the brain and central nervous system.
Children with ADHD may demonstrate chaotic constant physical movements, restlessness, inability to sit still or concentrate on a specific task.
Children with ADHD can be suddenly and quickly distracted by any external factors, forget about their tasks and lose objects, and act impulsively and thoughtlessly even within the framework of age norms and characteristics.
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties in school, kindergarten, college, university, and the workplace. They have difficulty following rules and norms, may not have time, or often make mistakes due to inattention and difficult contact with society.
Many believe that ADHD is only a modern disorder. There are opinions that this disorder does not even require special attention because it “will go away on its own” or “is actually a feature of character and temperament, on which psychologists just want to make money.” However, leading Russian scientists, when developing a hardware and software complex for reducing ADHD symptoms, conducted clinical and practical studies to achieve maximum efficiency and became familiar with the entire history of studying the disease because the disorder has been studied for several centuries.

The history of ADHD studies begins in 1753. This is the date indicated on the first document by the Dutch physician Cornelius Albert Klokhove, who drew attention to a unique disorder of the central nervous system, which did not yet have the name ADHD.
The next work on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, “Attention Deficit,” was created by Melchior Adam Weickard, who served as a physician to Catherine the Great. He relied on the work of Cornelius Albert Klokhove and continued studying the disorder in 1775.
At the next stage of studying the disorder, the work of the Scottish physician Alexander Crichton, entitled “An Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Mental Disorders: Understanding a Brief System of the Physiology and Pathology of the Human Mind, the History of the Passions and Their Consequences”, was clearly noted. If we examine his work now, we can see that he mainly described the inattentive type of ADHD. He hardly worked with symptoms of hyperactivity.
The area of study of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was expanded in 1844 by the physician Heinrich Hoffman, who published a story called “Fidget Phil” based on the results of observing children with ADHD. This story contains well-known lines where the doctor and the author suggest seeing if the main character (Fidget Phil) can sit quietly at the table. This image is still close to many modern parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
At this time, the physician George Frederick Still, who studied childhood diseases and disorders, developed teaching aids and gave educational professional lectures, turned his attention to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He prepared a whole series of lectures on ADHD about disorders or features of the central nervous system, which are characterized by difficulties with concentration and focus of attention, high passion or impulsivity, and high speed of display of emotions (including disappointment, anger, rage).
The next bright researchers of ADHD were Franz Kramer and Hans Pollnow. They described the modern syndrome of attention deficit and hyperactivity as a hyperkinetic disorder. In their study, they relied on the study of the need for constant movement (which has no obvious expediency) and hyperactivity.
Laufer and Denhoff called the syndrome of attention deficit and hyperactivity – hyperkinetic impulsive disorder, which is affected by dysfunction of the diencephalon.
ADHD is already included in the DSM-III classifier but does not have a large enough number of fundamental clinical and practical studies, so there are difficulties with a clear conceptualization of the disorder.
The attention of doctors, researchers and scientists is focused on a specific study of the disorder. Since the early 90s, many studies have been conducted that have shown:
Science is always moving forward. Now, leading Russian and world scientists continue to study the features of the disorder and the individual characteristics of each child's central nervous system to create the opportunity for the most effective, safe, and enjoyable reduction of ADHD symptoms.
Today, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is included in the International Classification of Diseases ICD-11 and DSM-5. It refers to neuroontogenetic disorders. It is considered a persistent and chronic disease, for which it is important to reduce symptoms in order to reduce the load on the brain and central nervous system, as well as to adapt the child, teenager or adult to society and rules. The main problem is that many parents do not go to the hospital in a timely manner for an official diagnosis of the child’s condition:
Although it has been proven that ADHD does not go away on its own because it has a genetic basis and also appears due to disorders in the central nervous system and brain.
This means that the sooner therapeutic intervention or correction is started, the faster the child or teenager will be able to adapt and feel comfortable in their life and social life.
Only a doctor can determine the presence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and also determine the specific type of disorder after a detailed diagnosis of a child, teenager, or adult.
After diagnosis, treatment is prescribed to relieve ADHD symptoms:
Pharmacological approach: Psychostimulants, central sympathomimetics, central sympatholytics, antidepressants, and GABA.
Non-pharmacological approach: Neuropsychological therapy and exercises, behavioral therapy, biofeedback therapy, diet therapy, and complex therapeutic work on the personality.
Excellent results in the case of children's and adolescents' manifestations of ADHD are shown by the work of the software and hardware complex "Neurro," which allows children to be involved in reducing symptoms using a game base.
Then, “Neurro” effectively, safely, and without side effects correct the symptoms of ADHD, taking into account the individual characteristics of the child. The software and hardware complex can be used at home independently—it comes with detailed instructions.
ORDER "Neurro" NOW, or get a free consultation with a specialist if you want to reduce ADHD symptoms in a child aged 3 to 16 years.
Place an orderSelf-diagnosis of ADHD is strictly prohibited because the disorder can be confused with other diseases of the central nervous system. Or with temporary deterioration in concentration, attention, and emotional control skills due to current stress.
Specialists check for stress in the child himself or around him (his relatives and friends) primarily to form a complete picture of the child’s vision and what affects him. Determining the presence or absence of a disease and seeing it as a separate diagnosis or part of another disorder is the task of a specialist. Sometimes, ADHD is confused with ASD, anxiety disorders, psychiatric and hereditary pathologies, and asthenic and cerebrosthenic syndromes.
The child and his parents are to monitor their condition, contact specialists, and follow their recommendations, including using modern, effective, and safe methods of reducing ADHD symptoms in a playful way.
THE OBJECTIVES OF WORKING WITH A CHILD ARE THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
Every child has the right to a comfortable and healthy life. Notice the child’s characteristics promptly to help him effectively interact with his emotions and manifestations!
This disorder’s symptoms can be alleviated if done in time. Working with symptom alleviation can be enjoyable—it can simply resemble a game of telephone, but the game will aim to adjust and analyze the work of the brain and central nervous system.
But in addition to therapeutic and neuropsychological work, it is essential to build a favorable environment at home and at school – accepting and minimizing all factors that can cause an increase in ADHD symptoms. After studying the situation, the specialist will give parents all the necessary recommendations, instructions, and an action plan. Children with ADHD require a lot of love, care, support, and help from parents and adults.
