Children diagnosed with ADHD are often hyperactive,
have problems sleeping, or discipline
problems. Poor listening skills and staying focus lead to poor
comprehension and learning disabilities
Through clinical studies
scientist have as yet determined
the cause of Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity
disorder. However they've determined, l in 4 children who have been diagnose
with ADHD believe to have inherited it from
family members. Researchers state that there is a difference
in the brain functions of a child diagnosed with ADHD
compared to the brain functions of of a child
without ADHD. The brain scan of a child
diagnosed with ADHD has been shown to be about 4% smaller and
it's
neurotransmitters do not transmit properly.
Researchers have also discovered that the part
if the brain that controls attention and
activity is less active in children diagnosed with
ADHD as in other children. Parents sometimes place the guilt on
themselves when they are not at fault. An article from The
National institute of Mental Health states; “newest research available suggests
that environmental agents, brain injury and
genetics are believed to play large roles in
the cause of ADHD”. it has been shown that
an increasing number of children with ADHD
have mothers who were exposed to toxins, such
as drugs, alcohol, or tobacco while they were
pregnant.
Many other learning disabilities can be confused
with ADHD. The symptoms of Dyslexia are
similar to ADHD. Children diagnosed with dyslexia
have trouble decoding letters, number, and
words. They may see the text backwards. Dyslexia
is not curable but can be treated. Also Dyscalculia (SLD) is a
neurological disorder that can have the same symptoms ADHD.
Dyscalculia is a disorder that makes learning
math concepts difficult.
Before you select treatment for ADHD have your
child properly diagnosed by a physician
