"What is not ADHD?"

Are we five behavioral issues that are not ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder). While these difficulties can be found along with ADHD, it does not mean that they are symptoms of ADHD.

The five issues that we discuss are anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior, learning disabilities and sensory integration disorder. Believe me-I want to make to your life! But we is an accurate understanding of the behaviour of a child's treatment and results with a certain scientific objectivity, is essential. Unfortunately, we live in a time when all types of behavior problems under the umbrella of ADHD are powered. But what is if another basis have some attention problems, and what, if not always the best is psychostimulant medication response to behavioural problems - also those who appear include hyperactivity?

1. Fear is a problem that easily can affect attention as a child with internal thoughts or provide can be employed. Therefore it seems, or they are from zoning. To examine an important question is whether your child is briefly distracted when he or she is relaxed. If not, situational factors may fear and supervision will trigger. Be children who do not know, like a worrying situation, or difficulties, that their feelings, "clam help" to express, sometimes you have a harder time focusing on do not work when you nervous or worried a personal situation? It is much more difficult for a child to his concerns. A concern that seems trivial for adults can lead to a child, as well as great fear. For example, was a pre-school young very worried in the school, until it was discovered that he had trouble dealing with his buckles and locks the bathroom break, but feared to ask help. a 7th grade could girls not in your language and arts focus class, since they were sitting next to a girl who had mocked her in the gym.

Depression is a mood, the skills, thinking Executive, such as memory, attention, cognitive flexibility and planning concerns.

2. Depression varies from our mind is not running, and therefore can we seem "out of it" - but the cause is not ADHD. Irritability, lack of initiation or interest and inattention can symptoms of depression or ADHD. Of course, children not describe most precisely, what they feel, or whether mood or poor focus an issue first came out. In such cases it is important to assess a child behavior in different contexts and to determine whether an improvement of the vote focus helps. (Some dual-action antidepressants like Effexor (TM), which effect norepinephrine, improves the executive thinking skills much better than other antidepressants.) (Ask the potential benefits of the dual-action your doctor of antidepressants for children with a bad mood and executive dysfunction).

3. disruptive behavior is a problem particularly often in the school. Some children simply are not going to sit and are an important learn liability for other students. Disruptive behavior is sometimes confused with hyperactivity. In fact, hyperactivity, result in disruptive behavior may be, but they are not the same. All kinds of children can interfere with, are sometimes intentionally. A hyperactive child delay has problems, he too can it is appreciated. A deliberately disruptive child can expectations frustrated by classroom, rebel against authority, self-regulation slower than peers or to develop looking for attention. If a child is invested in getting attention by doom, volume or burglary, a drug such as Ritalin (TM) is handling the best course of action not likely.

4. disabled can learn or have a more than social interaction. It goes without saying that, if a child has a problem, for example, when reading, he or she will be less attention to this aspect of the statement. Learning can be a disabilities certainly is better understood by ADHD and ADHD deepens as an obligation learn more than something like dyslexia - a specific Lernbehinderung.

5. sensory integration dysfunction (SID) is a problem with undersensitive or are sensory stimuli. These problems can be either a child or careless hyperactive displayed. This condition is often with ADHD, confused especially in preschool children whose problems undermine, sensory integration "Self-regulation." A child with sensory integration disorder can be worn by loud noises, bright lights, rough textures, and smells from; or vice versa should deal with things, hanging upside down, or yell boisterously. An excellent explanation of the sensory integration disorder Carol krzanowice, within Racibórz floor read the book, the out-of-sync child.

In this case, each of the above diseases can both diseases should be treated, be together with ADHD, found. Without question, ADHD is a great health epidemic facing children. The Centre for disease prevention and control and the WHO both have confirmed this fact. In the middle of the management of this crisis, we work hard to resist "one size fits all" think. Let us ensure the behaviour of children is carefully evaluated and understood in an emotional and social context. If the person is treated, not we would expect or accept less!
