ADHD usually persists throughout a person’s lifetime. It is NOT limited to children. ADHD impacts works, family relations and social relationships.
Definition
ADHD is a syndrome generally characterized by inattention, distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
It is further categorized into three subtypes:
1- Behavior marked by hyperactivity (Psora) and impulsivity (Tubercular) but not inattentiveness (Sycosis)
2- Behavior that is marked by the reverse characteristics (Psora/ Tubercular)
3- Mixed type (Psora/ Syphilis)
It can be diagnosed to children and adults who consistently display certain characteristic behaviors over a period of time.
The most common salient features include:
1- Distractibility- poor sustained attention to tasks (Psora/ Sycosis/ Syphilis)
2- Impulsivity- impaired impulse control and delay of gratification (Tubercular)
3- Hyperactivity- excessive activity and physical restlessness (Psora/ Sycosis)
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is similar to ADHD except that the victims do not have the excessive activity (Psora/ Sycosis). ADD can be just as harmful to a person’s social and educational development as ADHD.
Causes
ADHD is caused by poor parenting (Tolle causum), family problems (Tolle causum), poor teachers or schools (Tolle causum), too much TV (Tolle diceret), food allergies (Causa occaionalis), or excess sugar (Tolle diceret). There is a great deal of evidence that ADHD runs in families, which is suggestive of genetic factors. Physical Factors Advanced imaging techniques have detected differences in the brains of ADHD children compared to those of non ADHD children. In some studies, right side of the brain is smaller (Psora/ Syphilis) in ADHD children than in non-ADHD children (? ADHD is a right sided disease???- Lyco Group?).
The right side of brain contains three important areas:
1- Prefrontal cortex- it is located in the front of the brain, is brain’s command center and regulates the ability to inhibit responses.
2- Caudate nucleus- It is located near the center of the brain, controls the orders coming from the prefrontal cortex.
3- Globus pallidus- It is also located near the center of the brain and it also controls the orders coming from the prefrontal cortex.
Abnormalities in these areas may impair a person’s ability to control actions. This may result in the impulsivity typical of ADHD people. Important neurotransmitters including norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin are also located here which affect mental and emotional functioning. Some study reported that adults with ADHD had abnormally low levels of DOPA decarboxylase, the enzyme that produces dopamine.
Problems during Pregnancy
ADHD is often associated with problem pregnancies and with difficult deliveries. Maternal smoking (Psora) during pregnancy is also associated with a higher risk for ADHD.
Genetic Factors
Researchers are reporting underlying genetic mechanisms that regulate hyperactivity, particularly those that affect the neurotransmitter dopamine.
