Title: ADHD begins in childhood

ADHD begins in childhood and can continue into
adulthood Natural treatment for
adhd Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
begins in childhood and may continue into
adulthood. Although it is a well studied
problem and gets treatment, this disorder is not
always identified or diagnosed properly. Worse,
there are still those who believe that it is just
a myth.Distracted, busy, messy, messy ... There
is a long list of adjectives used to define
negative connotation children and adults who
have, so intense and frequent, behaviors and
attitudes different from those taken as standard.
Parents think that children are "electric" or
living on the moon. The school claims the student
who disrupts the class and not paying attention
in class. The child suffers because it is not
going well on tests, take all or scolding is
isolated by his colleagues, for leaving the play
or interferes with his impulsiveness. These may
be some evidence Disorder Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The problem
affects 5 to 6 of children, regardless of
country or cultural factors, and accompanies the
individual into adulthood in more than half of
cases. In childhood, is often associated with
difficulties in school and in relationships with
parents, teachers and other children. In
adulthood, affect the activities in the
professional, family, emotional and social. The
lack of attention and impulsivity also make these
people suffer more accidents, whether the child
in the household or adult seeking adrenaline in
speeding, for example. Classes monotonous
paperwork and usually cause the disaffection of
ADHD patients. Anything to distract, divert the
focus of the goals and raising the possibility of
failure. On the other hand, are bright and
dedicated some activity when passion.
Distributed by the World Health Organization
(WHO), international medical consensus and the
subject of numerous studies, ADHD is still a
problem and little known subject of controversy.
Even among professionals, there are those who
consider it a myth, ignoring evidence such as
changes in the brain of patients with the
disorder - just in the regions responsible for
the inhibition of behavior, the ability to pay
attention, self-control, the organization and
planning. Studies also show changes in the
neurotransmitter system (particularly dopamine
and nor adrenaline), which are substances that
transmit information between neurons. A survey
conducted by experts from the National Institute
of Mental Health (U.S.) revealed an average delay
of approximately three years in the maturation of
these brain areas in children with this disorder.
The source of the problem has a strong genetic
load. But do not believe in the existence of a
"ADHD gene" but in a polygenic inheritance, i.e.,
several genes determine the development of the
disorder.In childhood, attention deficit and
hyperactivity are associated with difficulties in
school and in relationships. In adulthood, affect
the professional, family and social.Symptoms
include hyperactivity, impulsiveness and / or
inattention. To evaluate the patient, doctors
take the references in the DSM IV, Diagnostic and
statistical manual of mental disorders of the
American Psychiatric Association, which lists
nine signs / symptoms of attention deficit and
nine hyperactivity-impulsivity. These include
items such as not paying attention to details,
difficulty concentrating, lose important things,
fidgeting hands or feet when sitting, talking too
much and not wait for the conclusion of the
question to give the answer. We all do things in
such moments. What defines the presence of
disorder and attention deficit hipertatividade is
the occurrence of several of these signs (at
least six of the nine items in any of the groups)
in at least two settings (home and school, for
example) for a period exceeding six months and
intensity that results in damage to the
individual's point of view, family or school.
That is what should trigger the alarm and lead
parents to seek help from an experienced
professional and updated in relation to ADHD.
Since there are no specific tests to identify the
problem, the diagnosis is not simple and is done
based on patient history. Furthermore, 60 to 70
of these people have one or more associated
problems, such as dyslexia, bipolar disorder,
anxiety and depression. Treatment includes
therapy by speech therapist psychopedagogists,
psychologist, occupational therapist or
psicomotricista, depending on your needs. You
also need support at home and at school. You can
not require the child with ADHD, the same
organization as the brother or install the
student with this disorder alongside the
"attractions" of the window of the classroom, for
example. But the use of drugs is essential. The
most part adopted a specific group of stimulants
that help in proper functioning of the brain
areas that show changes in these patients.
Several studies attest to its positive effects.
When used properly, these medicines do not cause
addiction and its side effects are mild or
nonexistent. However, like any treatment,
requires medical supervision. In some cases, the
disorder is minimized or stabilized over the
years. But more than 50 of children with ADHD
remain with the disorder in adulthood. So the
best way is the information and knowledge. Watch
for signs. http//naturaltreatmentforadhd.org
