ADHD

What Is A.D.H.D? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects a person’s behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse in an extreme way. Symptoms of ADHD tend to be noticed at an early age and may become more noticeable when a child goes through any sort of change, such as when they start school. The symptoms of ADHD usually improve with age, as they understand their triggers and defuse their outbursts. however as adults, who were diagnosed with the condition at a young age, do continue to experience problems.

Getting Help if there are any concerns, raise these with your child's teacher, their school's special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO), or a GP if you think their behaviour may be different from other children of their age. It's also a good idea to speak to a GP if you're an adult and think you may have ADHD, but were not diagnosed with the condition as a child.

Suicide Rates In Men suicide in men has seen the biggest increase over the last few years, but is still a very taboo subject, i think this is mainly due to the typical macho style standards of today. boys are told they can’t cry and have to ‘be a man’ which just isn’t the case ,this is why they tend to over look any mental health issues they are suffering with and not seek the necessary help.

6,859 people died by suicide 5,185 of them where men male suicide rates has increased by 11% between 2017-2018. for the first time, suicide rates for men aged 20-24 increased signifcantly,the increase was 39.1%

1,674 of them where woman womens suicide rates has increased by 10.2% between 2017-2018. suicide rates for women aged 45-49 increased by 39.4%

icide Rates In Woman eventhough the rates of suicide in woman isn’t as high as men, it’s still a large figure and honestly i feel it’s due to the impossible beauty standards of today, Lorem ipsum with the increase of famous figures getting plastic surgery, many girls feel they don’t love the way they were born. mainly in older woman, we see a large proportion of suicide rates, which is probably due to woman hating the idea of getting old, but there is no need, as it’s a natural part of life and doesn’t mean they aren’t beautiful.
