There two kinds of ADHD symptoms. For children under 17, at least six of these must be present for an ADHD diagnosis. For older individuals, only five are necessary. The first set of symptoms relate to problems with attention or focus. They include: Making careless mistakes, being inattentive to detail Having trouble paying attention (tasks, playing) Not seeming to pay attention when someone is talking Not following through on homework, chores, or jobs; easily sidetracked Being organizationally challenged Avoiding tasks requiring sustained focus Not keeping track of or often losing items such as keys, glasses, etc. Being easily distracted Frequently forgetting things The other category ADHD symptoms relate to hyperactivity or a lack of impulse control. Watch for the following: Fidgeting or squirming; tapping hands or feet Feeling restless; running or climbing inappropriately Struggling to stay quiet Talking excessively Blurting out answers before questions are asked Struggling to wait for his or her turn Interrupting others The brain of a person with ADHD is slightly different than others. Two structures in particular tend to be smaller: the basal ganglia and the prefrontal cortex. The basal ganglia controls the movement of muscles. It signals which should be working and which should be at rest at any given time. For example, if a child is sitting at a desk in the classroom, the basal ganglia should send a message telling the feet to stay still. In the case of ADHD, the feet may not receive the message. As such, they might remain in motion. A deficiency of the basal ganglia can also sometimes cause fidgety hand movements. For example, people with ADHD may tap a pencil on a desk, or drum their fingers. The prefrontal cortex is important for conducting higher-order tasks. It is where memory, learning, and attention regulation come together. This area is essential for intellectual functions. The prefrontal cortex plays an important role in regulating the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine affects your ability to focus and is usually at lower levels in persons with ADHD. Serotonin is another neurotransmitter related to the prefrontal cortex. It affects mood, sleep, and appetite. When serotonin drops too low, depression and anxiety result. Lower levels of dopamine and serotonin can make it harder to focus. As a result, people with ADHD struggle to focus on one thing at a time, and are more easily distracted. ADHD often occurs alongside other mental-health problems. This is called "comorbidity." One in five people with ADHD also have some other serious disorder. Depression and bipolar disorder are most common. One in three children with ADHD also have a behavioral disorder. These include conduct disorder and oppositional defiance disorder. Learning disabilities and anxiety also commonly appear alongside ADHD. If you or a loved one has many of these traits, you should see a doctor to get a professional opinion. Knowing if ADHD could be the cause of these difficulties will help you choose the right treatment.

Summary: Observe difficulties with attention. Look for hyperactivity. Learn the causes of ADHD. Watch out for related conditions. See a doctor for diagnosis.

Place 4 basa fillets on the sheet so they're in a single layer. You'll also need to move an oven rack to the center of the oven. Sprinkle the fillets with 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) of salt, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) of lemon juice from 1 lemon over both sides of the fillets. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will have the strongest flavor, but you can use bottled lemon juice. Set the fish aside while you combine the spice mixture. The basa will absorb the flavors of the salt, pepper, and lemon juice as it marinates. Since the fish is marinating briefly, you can leave it at room temperature. Pour 4 tablespoons (59ml) of vegetable oil into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons (32 g) of red chili paste. Stir in 2 teaspoons (4 g) of grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves of minced garlic, and 4 tablespoons (55 g) of tomato puree. Spoon the spicy mixture evenly over each fillet on the baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to spread it so the fillets are completely coated. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the fish until it flakes when you drag a fork across the center. You can also insert an instant-read thermometer into the center to see if the fish has reached 145F (63C). Turn off the oven and remove the baking sheet. Serve the hot fish with steamed rice and roasted vegetables. If you'd like to store leftover fish, put the fillets into an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

Summary: Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and lay the fish on a baking sheet. Season the basa with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes. Combine the oil, chili, ginger, garlic, and tomato puree. Coat the basa with the spicy mixture. Bake the spicy basa for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and serve the spicy basa fillets.

Since it can be difficult to find investors, many small business owners look to close friends and family to raise at least their initial seed money. It's easier to find investors if you've gotten your business off the ground than it is if you've only got an idea. If you have a friend or family member who is interested in any significant investment, treat it as a business transaction not a gift. Put it in writing with a legal contract or investment agreement. Any social media accounts you have can be used to help you find investors. Set up business-specific pages and accounts, and encourage friends and family to connect to them and share them on their networks. Use posts not only to talk about your idea but also demonstrate the need for the product or service you want to offer. Include news and information about the neighborhood where you want your business to be located. Encourage your friends and followers to share posts about your business and help you spread the word. When you set up dedicated social media accounts for your business, help spread the word by giving people who a reason to follow along. Contests and exclusive discounts will get more people on board. For example, if you're planning to open a coffee shop, you might offer a free cup of coffee to the first 20 people who like and share a post. Many products and services lend themselves well to crowdfunding through a website such as Kickstarter or GoFundMe. Unique rewards at different levels of sponsorship can help attract micro-investors who are interested in supporting the next great idea. Crowdfunding also helps market your product or service. If you fund your project through contributions from 100 people, those are 100 people who are interested in your idea and want to see it succeed. Each of those 100 people will potentially tell their friends about your product or service.
Summary: Talk to friends and family. Drum up interest on social media. Provide incentives for likes or follows. Try crowdfunding sites.
