Last week we talked about what we know wrong about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Let's continue where we left off this week. There is also confusion about the causes of ADHD. It is thought that this disease is caused by reasons such as wrong parenting attitudes of the mother and father, playing too much computer, but 75% of the reason is genetic. In this hereditary disorder, there is a developmental problem in the attention and executive system of the brain. This disorder is an organic problem that affects the functions and work of the brain. You can think of it just like epilepsy. Just as one part of the brain shows excessive activity in epilepsy, the frontal part of the brain shows underactivity in this disease.
It is thought that children with ADHD will only have problems with lessons and discipline in school life, but this information is lacking. ADHD is a serious problem that can have lifelong effects and leave scars on family, social and professional life. Especially during adolescence, anger and behavior control problems can cause very risky problems such as crime, accidents and substance use. The most confusion occurs about treatments. There are many claims about the treatment of the disease that are not based on scientific evidence. An average of 2000-2500 studies are conducted on ADHD annually in the world. When the results from a small number of these studies are presented as if they were real without being supported by other studies, confusion arises. Unfortunately, the treatment that has proven to be the most effective for ADHD is medication. Studies are continuing on alternative treatment methods that can replace medications, but considering these alternatives as proven methods wastes families' time.
There are allegations that drug treatments are addictive, but it has been proven that children who have been treated in sufficient doses for a long time are protected from addiction. In other words, it does not cause addiction, it protects.
There is a wide variety of information circulating about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and many similar mental problems, but before believing this information, it is necessary to research and look at the evidence. It is read especially on the internet, but it is sufficiently supportive. information for which there is no evidence. Stay healthy..
