Introduction
One of Abnormalities in development, which is ADHD (attention Deficit Hyperactivty Disorder) has been widely sudied, for this behavioral disorder is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescene. It is estimated that between 4 and 6 percent of people in United States have ADHD, and doctors are increasingly diagnosing more with this disorder and about half of of those diagnosed with ADHD still have the symptoms when they become adults (Bornstein, et al., 2002). The symptoms includes inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can affect a person’s life in many ways; poor academic achievements, difficulty in making friends, problems with self-esteem, and emotional problems.This disorder may not enable people diagnosed with it to learn, interact, and be treated the same way as people without it are.
Most researcher think the cause of ADHD is biological; differences in several parts of the brain, brain activity, levels of certain neurotransmitters, and genetic factors. However, learning disabilities might be related to emotional problems such as depression or frustration that is caused by the environment, and this emotional and behavioral problems often interfere with learning. In fact, the NJCLD (National Joint Committe on Learning Disabilities, 1994) states that learning difficulties often occur along with other problems such as social or emotional disorder (Bornstein, et al., 2002). People tend to ignore or avoid, and differently treating people with ADHD without being aware of the importance of environment role to the people with ADHD especially in their treatment process. This leads to the research question: “To what extent does the environment affects the treatment of people with ADHD?”

Not having attention from family, can make children put their attention to things like TV and Video Games which is possible to make their behavior become more aggressive as the inability of the brain to relearn attention and planning through consistent discipline, according to Michael Ruff M.D.
Perspective from environment which is based on culture can lead to personal mental health to both family and the children themselves. For the family, mental health makes them unable to act supportive to the children and the treatment.
