WHAT IS IT ADD?

  WHAT IS IT ADD?


"It is difficult to recognize this disorder because children are vitally shifting. So we must be vigilant to four behaviors: if the boy is very upset (not just in the game, if not always), if anxious or impulsive and impatient. A example is that guy who can not wait for their turn to kick the ball or who is constantly restless in class. And finally, the most important symptom, the fourth behavior: if you find it difficult to maintain attention. " Some indicators can be observed before starting school, "in small concerns at home, permanent distractions, drumming fingers or limbs constant movement." He adds: "To tell a ADD of anxiety or depression diagnosis is required, and the situation is complicated because children respond to strong stimuli, or interesting or new to them, hence the catch both games with her computer. It is sometimes thought to have emotional problems or who are rebellious, or unwilling, and then ensuing weak diagnosis. And the worst happens, is supposed to go alone and do not do anything. "



The attention deficit disorder (ADD) describes a group of chronic neurobiological disorders that affect a person's ability to focus and sustain attention, and in some cases impulse control behavior. This is linked with activation during the study or learning, the tip of the island, which is the area of the cerebral cortex that starts when a person suffers. "
 "The ADD has a genetic basis. The traditional clinical states that it is something emotional, and this discussion is sterile, because the boy is marginalized by issues-if you will-ideological. Then the parents wander without knowing what to believe or where to go. We are very afraid of labels and therefore sometimes rule out the diagnosis, which can save time, endless therapy, and above all, unhappiness. "







LIFE WIHT ADD 


"On first-and second-grade children with these disorders place on what they bring biologically expression. In third grade, when he begins the process of abstraction and move from reading to reading comprehension sweep, displayed the big problems. A boy with ADD reaches there. After-if not treated, gets lost and starts to suffer, it looks different, has a stomach ache because you get behind, and self-esteem begins to decline. The ADD need a lot of contention, to be taught how to do to learn with their problem on their backs. In addition to suffering a painful education, often abandoned, a high percentage of them populated, crime statistics, it is obvious that this evolves in behavior disorders. 50% of them are going to use drugs : among addicts has found a high number of ADD. Some have even said that if they smoked a marijuana cigarette is more concentrated, but of course that's just the beginning. The addiction behaviors create and then need more and more concentrating, and we know how they end. " 









"In the rooms of 3 or 4 and in preschool and displayed the symptoms of anxiety, but not attention deficit, which is presented more clearly in the school. A boy of 9 years is beginning to slow down and depressed because they left behind. Still, many high school students argue that they have nothing, and that is because the school they are bored and useless, but then they want to do a university degree and yes threre is total failure.









HOW IS ADD DiIAGNOSED AND TREATED?


You have to shoot down two myths: not every kid with ADD have concerns or distractions and not all children with ADD need medication. Ideally, interdisciplinary and comprehensive treatment. Family labor on the one hand, and on the other, and fundamentally, school support, not only for the boy, but also for teachers. Ultimately, and only if you need the pill. The neuropsychiatrist Nora Volkow showed that methylphenidate, the drug that is used to treat ADD, has an absorption curve which means that, when given orally takes to enter, no risk for the subject to become addicted. Categorically, the side effects of medication, when controlled, does not exist.Fundamentally, however, is an early diagnosis. The boy has neuronal plasticity, but that plasticity has a limited time. 





The diagnostic process includes the avoidance of doubt about other problems: vision, hearing, difficulty breathing, anemia. Find out if this picture presented before age 7 and if it affects at least two areas of family and social life of the boy. How is the containment and environmental situation in your home, your academic history. Clear if there is a depression, given that 20% of children with ADD have depression, and then you have to give priority attention to this problem. It should also exclude cases of bipolar disorder, formerly called manic-depressive disorder. Is that ADD is often in these situations. Only after all these evaluations will provide drug treatment, which is not the main thing, but it solves a lot. Unfortunately, sometimes used when it is too late.It is known that 35% of the ADD repeated course and a higher percentage still leaves the school or is expelled.

FOUR CONCEPTS

To clearly understand this journey by learning problems, one must take into account, basically, these four concepts: Diagnosis. All professionals interviewed insist that the diagnosis, well done, by qualified professionals and time, Lapiedra baseline for future success in relation to the anticipated difficulties.
Diagnosis. The diagnosis, well done, by qualified professionals and time, Lapiedra baseline for future success in relation to the anticipated difficulties.

Interdisciplinarity. The guy must be evaluated and treated by several professionals from different materials, which must act together. Audiologists and ophthalmologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and neurologists are the leading specialists should be responsible to meet the child's difficulties. Just because they are sometimes presented in a way that leads to the third concept.

Comorbidity. Sometimes the difficulty is clear. Others, has several difficulties, and is often difficult to establish a border between them. That is precisely what the term referred to comorbidity. For example, a child who looks bad, may be inattentive in class and this is also bad spelling. If this is delayed, may become depressed or violent, and so can add up. A child with a persistent obsession is busy and can not concentrate well in class. A child with a tic is someone concerned about what he can not control and then easily distracted. A child with dyscalculia (difficulty in the calculation) will be delayed in mathematics, and this may delay the entire comprehensive outline.

Transfer. This word is key. The link is established between two people. Is the relationship that exists when there is empathy. Here, transfer relates mostly to an act involving love. Is first in the mother-child relationship, a dialogue of signs and gestures of love given, transferred and in a gesture inthe nursing. Then, this transfer will be key in the relationship with teachers and learning.
