The most important thing about ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder . Among other things, those affected are inattentive , hyperactive , impulsive , chaotic, forgetful and dreamy.

This can affect learning at school , as well as professional activity. Contact with others is also difficult.

What causes ADHD?
🧠 

ADHD patients probably have a genetic functional disorder in the brain . Some regions, including those for attention or planning things, aren't really active. Other regions, such as those for movement, are more active.

💫 

The reason for the reduced activity is a lack of messenger substances , especially dopamine and noradrenaline . These messenger substances are necessary for the transmission of stimuli between the brain nerve cells.

🚧 

In addition, the brain is not good at filtering the information that is pouring in . It is flooded with stimuli. The result is restlessness and concentration problems.

🤰 

Alcohol and drug use during pregnancy, lack of oxygen at birth and environmental toxins are suspected to increase the risk of ADHD.

🙅 

ADHD in children can be triggered and aggravated by various factors - for example, neglect , an unstructured everyday life, lack of exercise , high media consumption or certain foods.Parent training is extremely important

Parents, relatives, educators and teachers should be well informed about ADHD and attend special training courses.

It is important to treat the child lovingly but consistently - with clear structures and instructions as well as correct behavior. You should tell the child whether their behavior was good or bad and reward good behavior.

It is very effective when the adults practice with the child first thinking and then acting . In this way, the child learns to control itself better. This exercise is called self-instruction training .Parent training is extremely important

Behavior therapy

Once the children have reached school age, behavioral therapy is helpful - also for young people and adults.

There those affected learn to control their impulses and emotions and to structure themselves . They also practice everyday and conflict situations and work on their self-esteemLess medication for children, more for adults

In recent decades, Ritalin in particular has been prescribed very quickly for children with behavioral problems. Often it wouldn't have been necessary.

Today, doctors are more reluctant to do so . Adults, on the other hand, are taking ADHD medication more often than they used to . .
