ADHD sensor
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, better known as ADHD, is one of the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorders in children. It usually affects school-age children, with a significant negative effect on their ability to learn. There are three types of the disorder, each with different symptoms:
- Has difficulty maintaining focus
- Is easily distracted
- Has difficulty following instructions
- Often forgets things
- Finds it difficult to concentrate on one task
- Processes information slowly
- Acts shy and withdrawn
- Appears disorganised and careless.
- Restless
- Cannot sit still
- Talks constantly
- Often interrupts others in conversation
- Is constantly on the move
- Has difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities
- Has difficulty holding back comments and emotions
- Is nervous while waiting for things they want or waiting their turn.
- Cannot be classified as either of the preceding types because symptoms of both are present
- The most common type of ADHD.

Genetics plays the largest role in the development of ADHD and is the main cause of the disorder in 75% of cases. Such a significant genetic factor makes people with an “unfortunate combination of genes” more susceptible to developing ADHD, but also helps diagnose and treat the disorder.
Why choose the ADHD sensor?
ADHD sensor shows whether certain genetic variants may contribute to the development of ADHD. Where behavioural disorders already exist, this test is very useful in establishing a diagnosis.
With the help of ADHD sensor find out:
- Your risk of developing ADHD
- Your risk of developing more severe ADHD symptoms
- Whether you are predisposed to the inattentive or hyperactive type of ADHD
- Your risk of developing schizophrenia and psychosis later in life
- Your risk of potential antisocial and/or aggressive behaviour
- Your risk of developing substance dependence
- How the 16 most common medicines affect your metabolism
However, 25% of all ADHD cases are not genetically determined, so this test should be viewed as offering possible confirmation in suspected cases already showing a range of symptoms. It should not be regarded as a definitive diagnosis in children without any ADHD symptoms.
