The 3 Main Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder
Margaret. H asked:
There are many symptoms associated with attention deficit order and the list can be quite comprehensive; from nuances in their behavioural patterns to even areas of speech and linguistic skills. However, this article will discuss the three main symptoms of this condition as well as some of the minor co-existing symptoms that can exist alongside them.
Attention deficit order is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder that affects about 5% of the world’s child population. It also has a tendency to affect boys more than it does girls, with an almost 2 to 1 ratio when it comes to condition achievement. While most people with attention deficit disorder do know even know that they have it in the first place, there are certain coping mechanisms that they develop when they enter adulthood to cope with the conditions and how it affects their behaviour. Methods of treatment would normally incur medication, the use of stimulants and various forms of therapy. While ADHD and attention deficit disorder is a controversial subject, with many camps arguing that it is a part of nuero development in certain specific children, many agree about the main symptoms of the condition.
Under the umbrella terms that can be used to describe ADHD or attention deficit disorder is disruptive behavioural disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder and anti social disorder. We will discuss the main symptoms that carry across these definitions and how you can spot them easily as well for things like early detection and treatment. One of the main symptoms is of course, impulsiveness. This is characterised often by children or individuals unable to control their emotions and their compulsive behaviour. They often act before thinking about the consequences, which can be quite dangerous, as children have been known to fling themselves of a high ledge of even a window due to their attention deficit disorder.
They also have a tendency to interrupt other people when they are in conversation and would insist that they be the centre of attention. There is also the issue of hyperactivity, one of the more common symptoms of attention deficit disorder. This is often seen and tangibilised as spells of restlessness, unable to sit down for a moment, fidgeting, squirming around, climbing on areas of the house or in public and even restless sleep ( the inability to enter into SMR sleep). The last main symptom is called inattention, one of the more popular pop culture symptoms featured on movies; but the problem is very real and very serious. These are more prevalent in children, who are unable to pay attention for a long period of time, easily distracted and unable to complete task given to them within any sort of a time frame. Also, you must know that in children, the hyperactivity can come across as defiance and bad conduct, which can be an almost obsessive behaviour pattern in children. These are the 3 main symptoms of attention deficit disorder you should know about and you can use this information for early detection and treatment.

Family Therapy In Attention Deficit Disorders
Robert William Locke asked:
When a family is faced with one or more children who may have an attention deficit disorder (ADD) and/or a co-morbid disorder such as ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder), Aspergers or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), they have to decide what is the best way of treating it. The alternative of leaving it undiagnosed and untreated may lead to drug abuse or trouble with the law. Very often the hyperactivity and especially impulsiveness will land the child or adult in very difficult situations.
Because the attention deficit disorder child will have problems both at home and school, the effects on the home life may well be devastating and will impinge on family life in a negative way, if parents do not know how to handle this situation. There is also a potential hazard with siblings who sometimes have to witness a meltdown. The best way to cope with that is to have an emergency plan and by talking to the siblings so that everybody knows how to handle it, rather than by brushing it under the carpet. Everybody will have a precise role to play in that situation. This is what family therapy or ADHD behavioral therapy is all about.
Marital problems can also be exacerbated by attention deficit disorder and there has to be a conscious effort to have a behavior code which everyone is signed up to. If this is not done, then there will be even more tension between spouses. Marriages when confronted with ADHD are at greater risk of separation and divorce. Being prepared is being well armed.
ADHD behavior therapy or family therapy will be able to address issues such as marital relations, how siblings need not suffer but can play an active role in the whole therapy process. There are strategies for learning how to manage the family better and coping with emergencies such as violent arguments, defiance, lying, refusal to do homework. There is also a plan for getting the whole family involved so that everyone has a role and purpose.
The attention deficit disorder child will be able to cope with social skills and learn better how to make friends and how to behave with peers. Very often ADHD kids are lonely and somewhat ostracised in the playground. There is a rewards/consequences plan in force to reward and reinforce good behavior while inappropriate behavior is linked to a withdrawal of privileges and/or certain consequences. The kids themselves benefit enormously from family therapy and find that they can finish tasks like homework,get organised and reduce their inattention. You can find out more about ADHD behavior therapy from the link below.

Attention Deficit Disorder - Know the Problem and Solve It
Jimmy Brownen asked:
ADD or attention deficit disorder is a type of neurobehavioral development disorder, which is characterized by problems associated with paying attention and hyperactivity. Often, people suffering for this ailment are seen to be unable to relax. They even cant be seated at a place constantly or stay still. Before going to the doctor for diagnosis of the disease, you must look out for the following symptoms:
ØHaving short concentration duration
ØEasily getting distracted.
ØDoing of such things that could be hazardous to life, without thinking about the consequences of such actions.
ØDoing excessive activities or else unseemly activities.
Above-mentioned symptoms are general types and are found in all age groups whoever suffer from ADD. But there are certain specific indications that vary with age.
ØFor Pre - School Children: Its very hard to find the signs of ADD in pre - school children, but it has been seen that almost all the major symptoms are present in them. Difference between the normal behavior and the behavior r due to attention deficit disorder can be spotted through severity and consistency of it.
ØFor Kids between the ages of six - twelve: The most common sign to be looked for is the performance and the ability to socialize in school. Other indications to be
considered are low grades or test marks, poor study skills and the likes. But this could be confusing if other behavior of the child seemed all right.
ØFor Teens: mostly people of this age group suffer from frustration and Impulsivity.
ØFor Adults: adults with attention deficit disorder more often than not go through such troubles as depression.
Attention deficit disorder is classified into three subtypes.
ØPredominantly hyperactive - impulsive
ØPredominantly inattentive.
ØCombined hyperactivity - impulsive and inattentive.
What causes attention deficit disorder is not properly known. However there are several factors that play a part in causing the disease. The factors are divided into four categories.
ØThe very first factor influencing ADD is the Genetic factor. Study indicates that the illness is highly genetic. In almost 75% cases it has been seen that ADD is caused through inheritance.
ØNext are Environmental factors. A study reveals that approximately 9% to 20% of the occurrence of ADD can be credited to environmental factors, which includes
alcohol and smoking exposure during pregnancy (amongst women) or complications during pregnancy and birth like premature birth could also add to the cause of attention deficit disorder.
ØDiet, too plays a very important role in causing the disease. Such issues as food additives, food allergies, vitamin, minerals, and fatty acid deficiencies and the likes should be kept in mind while preparing food.
ØSome studies say that certain social factors like violence or emotional abuse can be the factors behind ADD.
Now the question is how to treat ADD or attention deficit disorder? Going with the age Children are healed through medication and therapy provided they are detected early. Most of the experts in the field suggest a cure combining medication and psychotherapy. With the help of medicines the slow-moving part of the brain is made to improve its function. And though psychotherapy attention power control power and behavirioul attitudes are improved. With the help of an appropriate diet attention deficit disorder can also be treated well. Individuals under the anguish of ADD have been seen to have lacking in fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6. so their diet should fill this deficit with the help of food items like mackerel and salmon fish, that are rich in Omega 3 and sunflower oil, margarine and corn oil , that are rich in Omega 6.
Famous as attention deficit disorder, this disorder is also denoted with disruptive behavior disorder, antisocial disorder and conduct disorder. No doubt this is a serious problem today but it can be cured on time if proper mechanism is applied. It is better to consult the doctor and leave worries away. Obeying the instructions is necessary for early and easy recovery.

Questions About Teenage Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Robert William Locke asked:
Many parents do not know where to start when they have to deal with teenage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. They sometimes think that dealing with ADHD will be easier once the teen starts taking drugs, maybe a little therapy and all will be well. They are also faced with more pressing problems which seem to arise once adolescence starts and maybe their child has been on ADHD drugs and therapy since they were a child.
Often parents themselves have to come to terms with the genetic factor and the first question they have to face is that they may have the condition themselves. The startling figure is that up to 20% of parents of child and teenage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may have this condition too.
It is only by reflecting on their own problems of impulsive and risky behavior, a tendency to be too talkative, a somewhat erratic career history , problems in relationships and substance abuse that ADHD is sometimes suspected and subsequently diagnosed. It is a two edged sword for the parent because while it may help them to relate better to teenage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, there are also the problems relating to the lack of organisational skills required for effective parenting.
The second question is how do you involve your teen and how much responsibility he has to take so that he can grow up and be able to exploit his condition rather than be plagued by teenage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for the rest of his life. That means getting him or her involved in choices such as drawing up a homework contract and establishing a structure for major events and outings to include curfew arrangements and also being allowed to drive the family car. This is where responsibility for his or her actions can be so important.
Talking to a teenager about what led to a meltdown and how he could deal with it the next time round can also be a help. There is also the added problem of depression in attention deficit hyperactivity teenage girls. When it comes to behavioral problems, medication might help them to concentrate better, lift their depression and get better grades at school but they are not going to help them cope and deal with emotions, violent behavior and temper tantrums. That is where ADHD behavioral therapy can be so useful particularly in dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity teenage girls.
As regards the questions about treatment it can be really useful to talk about the effects of medication with your ADHD teenager. If there are some nasty side effects, try to involve him in the process of selecting a new medication and explaining the fact that that all ADHD drugs have some side effects but also the fact that in the long term, there are risks. An ADHD homeopathic remedy can be just as effective in relieving symptoms and helping to focus better and calming the mind.

Attention Deficit Disorder In Children - Tough Decisions For Parents
Robert William Locke asked:
The first thing parents usually want to do is to get a diagnosis for ADHD as soon as they suspect that their child might have ADHD. The diagnosis of attention deficit disorder in children is now so widespread that many parents are seeking diagnosis for children at a very early age. I know one parent who had her son diagnosed at 3 years of age! Many doctors and pediatricians will refuse to diagnose a child until they are at least 5-6 years old. This is wise given that the child has not developed fully. How can they assess his behaviour at school ? The child has not even started yet so how can you measure his attention span ? How can you tell if he can concentrate or not ? If the paediatrician is following the DSM -Vol IV manual, then he or she knows that there are at least 6 symptoms which must be evident in each of the inattention and hyperactive/impulsive categories. They must also be present in at least two settings such as the home, school, church etc.
If parents are really concerned that there is something wrong, then they can avail of the Early Childhood Intervention service which is free in most states and may have another name. There may be cases where he child is a danger to himself and the other children around him. The purpose of the ECI service is to give parents guidelines and advice about children between birth and 3 who may have some disabilities or may be showing delays in developing . The purpose of the service is to ascertain which children are eligible for special disability allowances. They will certainly be able to rule out attention deficit disorder in children or at least give advice about when to seek a proper diagnosis and at what age. They may be able to explain why the child is so restless or displays inappropriate behaviour, for example.
When and if attention deficit disorder in children is diagnosed some other tough decisions have to be made by parents. There is a battle going at the moment between the advocates of ADHD medication who claim that ADHD psychostimulant drugs are not only beneficial in controlling symptoms of ADHD but also play down the side effects of these drugs (amphetamines and methylphenidates) and say that the risks are just minimal. But there have been many controversial cases such as Mike Gilpin the footballer who died of a heat stroke and who had been taking Adderall. There was also the case of the skateboarder who dropped dead from a heart attack. He had been on Ritalin for nine years.
The drug companies who make these medicines have basically failed to give relevant and clear information on the long term effects on the neural development of children and also they really do not know how exactly these medications work ! Parents now refuse to have the wool pulled over their eyes and are looking at homeopathic treatments for attention deficit disorder in children specifically tailored for this condition and which do not carry ANY risks at all. You may want to find out just what an ADHD natural cure consists of and the facilities where it is prepared. The link below will provide all the answers you need.

Options For Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder
Robert William Locke asked:
Well, it was bound to hit the scene. After slow food and all the slow movements, we now have ’slow parenting’. So forget the ‘helicopter parenting’ which involves parents as chauffeurs and little else and let’s spend some time at the weekends with our kids. Most parents feel that it is essential to fill their kids’ schedules with all sorts of activities from yoga to dance classes and even meditation and yet they are missing out on something which is so important in parenting. Spending prime time with our children could be the answer to many parenting problems. This sort of parenting should be one of the first options for attention deficit hyper disorder.
Other options for attention deficit hyper disorder are to make sure that you have made all the necessary arrangements at school and that you and the school teacher are working together. Under federal law, it is now compulsory to make sure that special arrangements are in place for children with learning difficulties and that includes ADHD. There will either be an IEP or 504 plan in force in your state or some similar arrangement. You may have to meet with the school evaluation team to see what will be the best plan to suit your child and how they can make special arrangements to assist the child’s learning.
Looking at treatment options for attention deficit hyper disorder, there is the whole question of behavior modification which can really help kids with ADHD grow up to be responsible adults. By talking openly about some of the problems such as a meltdown, refusal to do homework, defiant behavior, bullying and lying, there will be the chance to get your kid to reflect on what they do, why they do it, how they feel and how they could possibly change their behavior.
The great thing about ADHD behavior therapy which is now favoured as the most important of all the options for attention deficit hyper disorder is that it has been shown to be the most lasting and effective therapy there is. Many experts such as Gregory Fabiano and William Pelham have researched this and they recommend that behavior therapy, with or without medication, is the way to go. Medications can relieve symptoms and give much needed rest to parents when some calm and order are restored,but that is as far as they go. Pills will not teach skills! This is where behavior modification wins hands down.
As regards medication, many parents have found ADHD homeopathic remedies to be the best possible alternative. These medicines are gentle and soothing and will restore balanced to the brain and help the child to focus and concentrate too. They are manufactured to the highest standards and there is a FDA approved facility. With a 100% guarantee, other options for attention deficit hyper disorder seem to pale into insignificance.

Spending prime time with our children could be the answer to many parenting problems. This sort of parenting should be one of the first options for attention deficit hyper disorder.
Other options for attention deficit hyper disorder are to make sure that you have made all the necessary arrangements at school and that you and the school teacher are working together. Under federal law, it is now compulsory to make sure that special arrangements are in place for children with learning difficulties and that includes ADHD. There will either be an IEP or 504 plan in force in your state or some similar arrangement.
