Answers:
i was diagnosed with adhd at the age of 5 and was medicated for it until age 16. i'm 27 now and have done fine since being off the medication
adhd stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
it's most common in younger children but can be found in some adults as well. usually genetic-i got it from my mom and they just found it in my youngest daughter
symptoms are:
inattention: the inablility to focus or only able to focus for a few minutes before being distracted
hyperactivity: more "on the go" than normal. simple things such as sitting down for dinner or completeing school activites can prove difficult for a child with adhd
impulsitivity: acting on impulse or acting before thinking. things like blurting out an answer before hearing the whole question, not being able to wait in line or take turns.
children with adhd will rotate through tasks quickly-often leaving one undone before going on to the next one. they are easily distracted by irrelevent noises or sights. they misplace things easily-toys,pencils,etc. they are fidgety,easily confused,and sometimes tagged as being "spacey"
best thing to do if you suspect your child has adhd-take them to your family doctor to have them screened for it. once a diagnosis is made, you and your doctor can together decide what treatment is best suitable for your child.
i took ritalin which worked well when i was a small child but suppressed my appetite, causing weight issues when i got older. some children do well w/out medication and use counseling and diet modification instead. in others, medication is necessary-your doctor should be able to help you with this decision. some children outgrow this disorder as i did when i turned 16.
my daughter is only 5 so i have refrained from using medication for the time being. her diet has been modified-switching all her dairy products to being soy based and i've taken out all extra sugar. in addition, she goes to montessori school instead of regular school and i have found that this enviroment works wonders.
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder...basically it's when you're so hyper you can't concentrate
it is a condition that makes you have so much energy that you cant concerntrate, it can make you very naughty as a child and very moody as an adult, it can be sparked off by food and additives that they contain. my best mats son has it really bad and he is crazy all the time, he is on some heabal chinese medicine to calm him down and they seem to work for the most part, but if he has sugar then its like living with a nightmare.
