Problem: 150 word response to the following post: Children who go through traumatic experiences can display behaviors and symptoms that mimic that of ADHD, but there is no scientific proof that trauma directly causes ADHD. Children who go through traumatic experiences often experience a change in their hormone level, such as higher cortisol levels, and higher levels of adrenaline (Vrijsen et al., 2018). They often also experience difficulty sitting still and/or concentrating because they are in a constant state of hypervigilance. Those who have ADHD also find it difficult to sit still, concentrate and remain on task, which is one reason why some children who have gone through traumatic experiences may appear to have ADHD. To differentiate between the trauma history and ADHD, the clinician would need to see when the symptoms arise. If the child has behaviors such as inability to concentrate and stay focused that are consistent and constant, he/she would most likely be diagnosed with ADHD (Vrijsen et al., 2018). However, if the symptoms fluctuated depending on where the child was, who was around, and what was happening, he/she would more than likely not have ADHD, but instead they would be experiencing symptoms from their lived trauma.
