ADHD is a disruptive behavior disorder, disruptive behavior disorder is a broad term used to describe disorders that cause disruptive behavior and one of them is ADHD, others include ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) and CD (conduct disorder).

They affect the classroom in many ways. The child fails to learn and gets in trouble a lot, often frustrating the teacher and distracting others from learning. I do not beleive mediaction is over prescribed as only aroundc 2% of children in the USA are current;y being treated on medication for ADHD.
