Health and ADHD
ADHD Research
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder. Researchers are not sure what actually cause ADHD. Symptoms
include lack of interest in activities, poor focus, inability to follow instructions
and doing things at inappropriate times. ADHD develops in childhood.
Children
with ADHD face difficulties in achieving their academic goals. ADHD can be
controlled with certain techniques. General treatment for ADHD is through medication.
In the past ADHD was not a common disease.
Children with ADHD were considered to be lazy, not paying attention to studies,
and frustrated. In the past few years, it is seen that there are many children,
as well as adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD. ADHD is one of the most
prevalent conditions among school age children. Lack of awareness about ADHD
causes disappointment among parents of an ADHD child.
Research has not established the causes of
ADHD. Children with ADHD behave and react differently to situations. ADHD does
exist and it is stressful and frustrating for children and parents. It is
reported that 21 percent of children with ADHD skip
school and they are more likely to get into accidents.
Environment
Medication is important in ADHD and like
other psychological disorders, ADHD is associated with environment. It also requires
suitable changes in environment and schedule. Behavioural change is also
helpful in adult ADHD. Acceptance is the first step in ADHD treatment.
Healthy Body and Mind
A healthy body has a healthy mind, or we
can say that a healthy mind has a healthy body. Mental health is an important
issue.
Large organisations conduct psychological
tests to examine mental health of potential candidates who are applying for jobs.
It is important because a psychologically fit person has more chances of
success on the job. In today’s work environment employees have to face
workloads, job related stress and other problems related to mental alertness.
Personality and Domestic Lives
Scope of mental health is not only limited
to workplace. It also plays a role in our domestic lives. People with healthy
minds and cheerful personalities enjoy good relationships. They have higher
level capacity to cope with stress and difficult situations. In domestic lives
they are happier. In contrast, people with psychological problems indulge
themselves in problems, which are rooted from their illness.
Mental Wellbeing
Aspects of mental health is not only
important for adults, it is also important for children. Children with
psychological problems such as inferiority complex, lack of confidence,
excessive shyness, fears and traumas, poor attention and lack of interest, face
difficulties in achieving their goals. It is seen that most of the
psychological problems start in childhood.
How psychological disorders develop?
There are many issues in this regard, such
as poor physical health, genetics, societal issues, stress, depression and
domestic issues. For many psychological disorders research has not found exact
causes. Persons facing constant stress become depressed and more prone to
psychological disorder. One of the major issues in diagnosing psychological
disorders is the lack of awareness.
There are many psychological conditions and
disorders. Some of them are Stress, Depression, Bipolar Depression, Schizophrenia,
ADHD, Melancholia and split personality.
