ADHD was previously not accepted by many professionals but over time this research had its fruits and found the behaviors that people have throughout their lives with this disorder.
In 1798 Alexander Crichton made a description commenting on what he had detected in some users who suffered from this disorder, he considered that these were people who presented concern and inability to attend.
Currently every day people are being more aware of this disorder thanks to social networks and medical advances.
People in the environment sometimes do not know that that person suffers from this disorder since it does not present with any physical characteristics but they can not notice some behaviors such as: lack of attention, restlessness, nervousness, impulsiveness, etc.
A person with this disorder is just like us only that sometimes their behavior and their ways of managing things are different from ours and they are not worse people. More and more people who thanks to advances realize that they suffer from it and accept and understand more their way of being and on the other hand, there are more and more people who join the help for people who have this disorder.

Mi opinión es que la educación preventiva y la concientización sobre el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH) son cruciales para abordar este trastorno neuropsiquiátrico de manera efectiva.
Las investigaciones científicas respaldan esta opinión. Un estudio realizado por el Centro Nacional para la Información Biotecnológica encontró que la educación sobre el TDAH para padres y maestros puede ayudar a mejorar el comportamiento y el rendimiento académico de los niños con TDAH (Fernández-Jaén et al., 2017). Otro estudio publicado en la revista Pediatrics encontró que la educación y la capacitación para padres y profesionales de la salud sobre el TDAH pueden mejorar el manejo y la calidad de vida de los niños con TDAH (Murray et al., 2016).
Además, la concientización sobre el TDAH también puede ayudar a reducir el estigma y la discriminación hacia las personas con este trastorno. Un estudio publicado en la revista Journal of Attention Disorders encontró que la educación sobre el TDAH para los estudiantes universitarios puede reducir los estereotipos negativos y mejorar la comprensión y empatía hacia las personas con TDAH (Barkley et al., 2016).
En conclusión, la educación preventiva y la concientización sobre el TDAH son esenciales para abordar este trastorno de manera efectiva y mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas por él.
