Hyperactivity disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is chronic condition characterized by attention difficulty, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It often begins in childhood and can cause a child to have trouble in school, at home, or with friends. Causes may include genetics, head injury, exposure to environmental risks (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, low birth weight. It's is more common in male cildren.
This is also called social phobia and is a mental health condition with a persistent fear of being watched and judged by others. It can affect work, school, and other day-to-day activities.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe neurological disorder caused by destruction of cells that produce myelin (protective layer around nerves) in the white matter of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It is caused by reactivation of the JC (John Cunningham) virus. Most adults have been exposed to this virus and it usually does not cause any problems, but people with a weakened immune system are at higher risk for developing PML. Classically, PML is associated with patients who have HIV/AIDS, but it can also occur in patients without HIV who have a weakened immune system due to other reasons.
