, my man. Therefore, during the Olympic Games in Beijing, he held a mental record of events, he wanted to see the live coverage on television. In particular, my husband was eager to see Michael Phelps achieving his dream to get 8 gold medals in swimming competition. I was not interested in Michael Phelps, it is that my husband told me that this extraordinary athlete diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder or ADHD, was when he was 9 years old. This ignited my interest and I was just beginning to realize the dream of Phelps even beating the Olympic record he did.
In my practice I had seen the chance of a case of ADHD. An eight-year-old boy was brought by his mother, because her advice cough. Previously, I was alerted by the mother that her child has ADHD. I could not ask him questions about his cough, because he moved to the emergency room, touching things on my table, then held on the deck of the nurse, the emergency vehicles. He said to much someone in the room. When I examine myself on his chest, he grabbed my stethoscope and placed it on his ears and did ask me instead. Shortly after he got my pen and wrote on my prescription pad. Her mother said her son often fidgets with hands. At school, he often leaves his place in the classroom, do not seem to listen when spoken to, not in activities that require mental work and has difficulty waiting in turn to engage. It will often go on to as if driven by a motor bus, even late at night or dusk, she said her son would often go outside the house, without notice, and the whole family goes looking for him.
Sources say that about 3% to 5% of all his children and perhaps even affected than 2 million American children estimated by ADHD. The attention deficit in ADHD-term is misleading because people with ADHD do not really deprived of attention. Instead, they have difficulty regulating their attention. They have difficulty limiting their attention to irrelevant stimuli in the same way they can focus their attention on the most important. In other words, they have attracted little attention because they pay too much attention to many things. Since they can not almost all, their education, psychological development, relationships and family life is to stay focused heavily affected. Other symptoms of ADHD are impulsivity (quick action without thinking) and hyperactivity (always on the move, can not stay in place). This condition is often down to the youth and adulthood.
Neuropsychological studies have suggested an imbalance of neurotransmitters (catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine) in the brain that led to the development of this condition. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain, the joy of movement and attention has in a person. Impulsivity in ADHD may be explained by the low level of dopamine in the brain in these individuals, whereas distraction and inattention seems linked to low levels of norepinephrine in combination. MRI of the brain of patients with ADHD support strongly decreased activation of the frontal lobes of the brain responsible for executive function, attention and inhibition of the year.
For several years we have treated the symptoms of ADHD with stimulants such as methylphenidate oral (a chemical cousin of amphetamine) and dexamphetamine. Perhaps you might be wondering why a stimulant is given to treat this disorder with hyperactivity. The researchers asked the same question for years and only recently have begun to shed light in his statement. This medicine can increase dopamine and norepinephrine in low brain of people with ADHD. Therefore, this drug has a paradoxical effect, because even if it is a stimulant, it has the ability to reduce hyperactivity and improve the ability to focus, when administered at low doses. But as with all medications, these drugs are not without side effects. Children can suffer from insomnia, decreased appetite, weight loss and slow growth, while on the drug.
