Abstract

Sažetak:
ADHD je jedan od najčešćih neurorazvojnih poremećaja dječje dobi. Obično se prvi put dijagnosticira u djetinjstvu i često traje u odrasloj dobi. Djeca s ADHD-om mogu imati problema s obraćanjem pažnje, kontroliranjem impulzivnog ponašanja, a mogu djelovati bez razmišljanja ili biti pretjerano aktivna. Istraživanja pokazuju da su djeca s dijagnosticiranim poremećajem pozornosti s hiperaktivnošću, tj. ADHD-om izložena do nekoliko puta većem riziku od razvoja ovisnosti. Kao ovisnosti se najčešće nabrajaju alkohol i droga. Međutim, u obzir treba uzeti i druge oblike ovisnosti poput recimo kockanja. ADHD može imati negativan utjecaj na radnu učinkovitost i može spriječiti društveni razvoj pojedinca. Mnogi ljudi koji žive s ADHD-om okreću se zlouporabi supstanci kao načinu nošenja s ADHD-om. Osobe s ADHD-om mogu biti sklone zlouporabi droga ili alkohola kako bi nadoknadili nedostatak dopamina u mozgu, budući da imaju niže razine te kemikalije od ljudi koji nemaju ADHD. U radu će se uz korištenje relevantne znanstvene literature približiti povezanost ADHD-a i ovisnosti, a rad za cilj uz teorijski pregled ove teme ima za prikazati moguće načine liječenja i sprečavanja daljnjeg razvoja ovisnosti i ADHD-a.

Abstract (english)

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often persists into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behavior, and may act without thinking or be overly active. Research shows that children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, i.e. ADHD, are exposed to several times greater risk of developing addiction. The most common addictions are alcohol and drugs. However, other forms of addiction, such as gambling, should also be taken into account. ADHD can have a negative impact on work performance and can hinder social development. Many people living with ADHD turn to substance abuse as a way to combat these effects. People with ADHD may be prone to drug or alcohol abuse to compensate for the brain's lack of dopamine, since they have lower levels of the chemical than people without ADHD. The paper will use the relevant scientific literature to approach the connection between ADHD and addiction, and the aim of the paper, along with a theoretical overview of this topic, is to show possible ways of treating and preventing the further development of addiction with ADHD.
