 Project Topic: Types of ADHD
and Understanding the
Disorder

❖ My project topic for this semester is based on the

different types of ADHD, and how a patient can be
diagnosed and treated in each case. I chose this topic
because I know someone who is affected by ADHD from
childhood, and I was also able to meet several patients at
the clinic who suffered from acute to severe ADHD, which
peaked my interest toward the subject.
 Key Points

❖ Medications and their mechanisms of action in the case of ADHD, and

❖ Positive and Negative qualities associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
disorder, how it impacts daily life, and how to control them
❖ ADHD and correlation with drug addiction and asthma
❖ Ages of diagnosis and scale of impact for each age group, and ADHD’s
statistical significance in modern population.
❖ What are the current researches on ADHD and its different tiers of severity? If
there is no proven “cure” to ADHD, then what can the parents do to help their
child facilitate and adapt better to daily life?

conditions like asthma, connect to

conditions more prevalent?

Types of diagnosis and different

types of treatment options
including therapies and

Event Slide
 Final Product
❖ I intend to create a tri-fold poster that differentiates between the different types of ADHD, and
incorporate other information such as its prevalence worldwide, statistics, methods of
treatment for each type, diagnosis etc. in an attempt to help people understand ADHD better,
which will hopefully allow people to handle situations differently and learn how to approach a
child with severe ADHD symptoms.

 Conclusion
❖ By the end of the semester, I hope to learn
more about the condition I’ve chosen, as well as
develop better communication and leadership
skills. I want to understand how to interact well
with patients and learn more about the realistic
jobs and responsibilities of my career.
