CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Imagine living in a world where sights, sounds, images and
thoughts are constantly changing and shifting. Unable to focus on
whatever task is at hand; your mind wanders from one activity or
thought to the next. Sometimes you become so lost among all the
thoughts and images that you don't even notice when someone is
speaking to you. This is what it is like for many people who have
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. Once called
hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction. It is a neurological condition
characterized by inattention, restlessness and impulsivity and
commonly diagnosed in early childhood.
Symptoms of ADHD can present themselves as early as age two or
three, but most commonly shows up and is diagnosed around
adolescence. Often the hyperactivity and other more severe symptoms
of ADHD will lessen with age, but the more subtle ones such as
inattention to detail may well stay with the patient until adulthood and
throughout the patient’s life. A child with ADHD may be very smart, but
still receive poor grades due to their inability to focus on their
work.Common symptoms of ADHD in children include being overly
active, constantly moving, running, climbing, squirming and. It is
thought to be hereditary as statistics show that children of people with
ADHD are much more likely to have it.Some believe that it is caused by
an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemicals
that send messages from one’s brain to the rest of one’s body (Newton
et al. 97-98)
It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, and it is likely to occur two to
three times more in boys than in girls. “In a classroom of 25 to 30
children, it is likely that at least one of them will have ADHD" (Ramer
4). Studies have already been done in the area of ADHD, many school
teachers, say these numbers are conservative estimates.
Statement of the problem:
This research study aimed to have a better understanding of
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among children and
what will be the possible cause, effects and treatments of this disorder.
Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions:
1.What is ADHD?
2.What are the factors that causes ADHD to children?
3. What are the possible effects of ADHD to the children and their
parents?
4. What are the signs and symptoms of ADHD?
5. How could parents prevents their children from acquiring ADHD?
6. What is the treatment of ADHD?
Importance of the Study
The issue of ADHD is one that has been misunderstood for many
years. There are individuals that study it and discuss how significant it
is, and there are others that see it as some kind of made-up problem
that is not really important to focus on. In recent years it has generally
accepted that ADHD does exist and that study of it is important.
To alleviate the misconceptions or misunderstandings about ADHD
the researchers thought it is superlative to present a research paper
about this disorder. This study incorporates the factors that can
contribute to this condition and its effect to the physical, mental, social
and emotional aspect of the children.
Hopefully this research paper will become an answer to the
misapprehension about ADHD and it help those people who are
experiencing this condition and to their parents to have a better
apprehension about ADHD , it’s possible cause and effects.
The discussions in this paper, specifically to the signs and
symptoms of ADHD will help all parents to detect early if their children
are currently experiencing this condition.
Scope and Limitation
This study covers the cause and effects of ADHD. It likewise looked
into the different ways to treat ADHD on children and how to detect it
early using the signs and symptoms of this disorder. To make this
paper more meaningful and useful, a discussion of prevention of ADHD
was also included. However, every study has its own limitations
because of that the researcher did not attempt to discuss about the
ADHD in adults since the topic were only focused on the ADHD in
children. Managing children with ADHD was not also discussed by the
researchers since treatments of it was provided already in this
research paper.
Definition of Terms
CHAPTER 2
The most common behavioral disorder of childhood is that of
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is “marked by a
constellation of symptoms.” (Niehart 2003)
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic,
debilitating disorder which may impact upon many aspects of an
individual’s life, including academic difficulties, social skills problems,
and strained parent-child relationships. It is a psychological disorder
that is marked by having one or more of the key symptoms: extreme
inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (Myers 2009). In truth these
disorders have many more symptoms such as; missing details,
forgetting things, misplacing things, not seeming to be listening when
spoken to, daydreaming, and much more ( National Institutes of Health
2010). For those who suffer from this disorder, it is an everyday
struggle to overcome these obstacles.
These and many other effects of ADHD are discuss detailedly
discussed in the paper.It also explore the cause, treatment,
preventions and signs and symptoms of ADHD. The information’s
provided will answer the questions raised earlier.
Cause of ADH
Genetic factors.There is strong indicators that ADHD or the
tendency towards the disorder may be hereditary. For instance, most
children with ADHD appear to have at least one blood relative with an
attention disorder. At least one in three fathers who had ADHD
symptoms in their youth has a child with ADHD. In addition, studies in
identical twins found that there is a 91% chance that if one of the twins
suffers from ADHD, the other twin will also have the condition.
Research is still ongoing, but genetic factors seem to contribute to
ADHD susceptibility. No single gene with major contributions to ADHD
has been identified up to now.
Head injury.For a long time, many scientists believed that ADHD
was the result of undetectable brain damage or minor head trauma
following a serious fall, accident or difficulties during birth. As a result,
ADHD used to be called “minimal brain damage” (or “minimal brain
dysfunction”).
Brain abnormalities. On average children with ADHD it might have
up to 5 percent smaller brain volumes than children without ADHD.
Research also showed differences in some of the brain’s chemical
substances that allow brain cells to communicate with one another,
also called neurotransmitters. For instance, some neurotransmitters
may show different activity patterns in people with ADHD compared to
unaffected individuals.
Finally, studies using techniques to “image” the brain, such as
the positron emission tomography (PET) scan, revealed less activity in
the areas of the brain that control activity and attention in some
persons with ADHD. It is important to emphasize that brain imaging
techniques are currently not used to diagnose ADHD. Indeed, while the
laboratory observations are consistent, they are not sufficiently
sensitive to make an ADHD diagnosis.
Environmental factor.Pregnant women who smoke or use alcohol or
drugs during pregnancy are at increased risk of having a child with
ADHD. Pregnant women who are exposed to environmental poisons,
such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs - industrial chemicals that
were widely used in the past), also may be more likely to have a child
with symptoms of ADHD.
Preschool children exposed to certain environmental toxins,
particularly lead and PCBs are at increased risk of developmental and
behavioral problems, many of which are similar to those found in
children diagnosed with ADHD. Exposure to lead, which is found mainly
in paint and pipes in older buildings, has been linked to disruptive and
even violent behavior and to a short attention span. Exposure to PCBs
in infancy may also increase a child's risk of developing ADHD.
Diet.Many people are convinced that ADHD is caused by certain
types of nutrition and that especially refined sugar and food additives
can contribute to hyperactivity and attention problems. The theory that
nutrition and especially junk food, sugar and additives play a role
remains the topic of a much heated debate. Studies reveal that many
hyperactive children do not appear to benefit from restricted diets and
that these diets only seemed to help about 5% of children with ADHD
and that most of these children were either very young, or suffered
from food allergies. Although a healthy diet will contribute to the
wellbeing of any child, including a child with ADHD, there appears to
be no conclusive evidence that certain diets or food play a part in the
condition.
Sleep-breathing problems.Researchers has found that children who
snore are nearly twice as much at risk of being inattentive and
hyperactive than those who don't. Furthermore, it was shown that
snoring early in life predicted new or worsened behavior problems four
years later. Similar behavior was seen among children who had other
symptoms of sleep disturbance, such as sleep apnea (brief breathing
lapses in sleep that disrupt sleep and can reduce blood oxygen levels),
or daytime sleepiness. The researchers believe that ADHD may result
from the sleepiness caused by snoring. This relationship rests on the
concept that snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems
during sleep diminish the quality of sleep, repeatedly reduce oxygen
levels, and affect daytime behavior. This might result in an overtly
tired, irritable, hyperactive child with limited attention and focus on
different tasks. The researchers concluded that their findings
strengthen the hypothesis that untreated sleep-breathing problems in
childhood can contribute to the development of hyperactivity. These
studies highlight the importance of diagnosing sleeping problems in
children, as they can have a major impact on health, behavior, and
quality of life.
Effects of ADHD to children
That a child suffering from ADHD may experience inattention.
Inattention becomes more prominent when the child is involved in
tasks
that need vigilance, rapid reaction time, systemic and sustained
listening, visual and perceptual search. These children can face
difficulty
in passive learning situations and may need extra attention in the
classroom or special educational services.
Impulsivity.Children with ADHD may experience impulsivity symptoms,
such as calling out answers in class without thinking, being unable to
wait their turn and interrupting frequently. These impulsive actions
may cause a child to lag behind others in the class and and may
present problems with making friends.
Hyperactivity.Symptoms of hyperactivity can be experienced by
children with ADHD. Hyperactivity is characterized by excessive
restlessness and movement. The various symptoms associated with
hyperactivity include running or climbing in inappropriate situations,
being unable to play quietly and talking excessively. A hyperactive
child may find school work more difficult, may be teased by others and
may be frequently punished for disruptive behaviors. These children
often need proper treatment, behavior modifications and support.
Disruptive Behavior.Disruptive behavior is a more serious condition
that affects not only the child but also the family members and persons
living near the child. A child with ADHD may have symptoms of
antisocial behavior, such as stealing, fighting, and harming people or
destroying property. Everyday routines of such children are
complicated by disorderly and unfocused behavior. Treatment consists
of treatment with medications and behavioral therapy.
Learning Disabilities
Merck.com reports that about 20 to 60 percent of children with ADHD
may have learning disabilities and 80 percent may experience
academic difficulties. Children with ADHD may make careless mistakes
during school work and be inattentive in class. They may not follow
repeated requests and may shift from one incomplete work to another.
Because we expect very young children to be easily distractible and
hyperactive, it’s the impulsive behaviors—the dangerous climb, the
blurted insult—that often stand out in preschoolers with ADD/ADHD.
By age four or five, though, most children have learned how to pay
attention to others, to sit quietly when instructed to, and not to say
everything that pops into their heads. So by the time children reach
school age, those with ADD/ADHD stand out in all three behaviors:
inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Inattention
According to researchers at the Mayo Clinic, all three signs of ADHD
can appear when your child is an infant. Most of the time, symptoms
present themselves prior to age 7.
Signs of inattention include carelessness in school work and other
activities, difficulty sustaining attention during play and other tasks,
trouble with follow-through on directions, problems organizing tasks or
activities and forgetfulness. Children with ADHD also have trouble
listening, even when you speak directly to them. They might avoid or
dislike tasks that require sustained mental concentration.
Hyperactivity
Signs of hyperactivity in children with ADHD include trouble sitting still
during dinner, school and story time, non-stop talking, erratic
movements and touching or playing with everything in sight, according
to NIMH. Mayo Clinic experts contend that boys are more likely to
exhibit hyperactive behavior, while girls tend to be more inattentive.
When a boy exhibits fidgety behavior, it is often in response to his
inability to concentrate. When girls cannot focus, they often daydream.
Impulsivity
The overly impulsive child makes inappropriate comments, cannot
control his emotions and acts without considering consequences.
Impulsivity symptoms also include impatience. For instance, a child
with ADHD might have trouble waiting for his turn while playing a
game. Additionally, children exhibiting impulsivity might frequently
interrupt the conversations and activities of others. These behaviors
tend to be more conspicuous in boys than in girls. Compliance to
teachers and other adults is often lower among boys with ADHD.
If you or your child are struggling with ADHD there are many safe and
effective treatments that can drastically improve its symptoms. ADHD
treatment can boost school and job performance, improve
organizational skills, and foster better relationships.
Furthermore, treatment doesn’t necessarily mean pills or doctors’
offices. Treatment for ADHD is any action you take to manage the
symptoms. And while you may want to seek professional help along
the way, ultimately, you are the one in charge of treating ADHD,
whether you are the parent or the patient. You don’t have to wait for a
diagnosis or rely on professionals. You can start treating your child’s
symptoms with your own way.
Understanding ADD / ADHD treatment options
Treatment for attention deficit disorder isn’t just about seeing doctors
or taking medication. The term treatment actually refers to behavior,
management, or action—not just to medical approaches. ADHD
treatment can mean changing habits, altering frame of mind, talking
to others, and learning strategies to help your child. And you don’t
have to pick just one treatment. In fact, the best way to treat ADHD is
to combine several different methods to get the best possible result.
You have the power to figure out what works for your child and
implement the appropriate treatments.
Lifestyle
Evidence shows that eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise,
and making other smart daily choices can help child manage the
symptoms of ADHD.
Regular exercise
Exercising is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce the
symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Physical activity immediately boosts the
brain’s dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin levels—all of which
affect focus and attention. In this way, exercise and medications for
ADHD such as Ritalin and Adderall work similarly. But unlike
ADD/ADHD medication, exercise doesn’t require a prescription and its
side effect free.
In addition to improving concentration and decreasing hyperactivity
and impulsivity, regular exercise can also elevate mood, combat
stress, improve memory, increase motivation, keep depression and
anxiety at bay, help sleep better, and prime brain for learning.
Enough Sleep
Many children with ADHD have sleep difficulties. The most common
problems include:
Trouble getting to sleep at night, often because racing thoughts are
keeping up.
Unrefreshing, restless sleep. child toss and turn throughout the night
and wake up feeling tired.
Difficulty waking up in the morning. Waking up is a daily struggle. Your
child may sleep through multiple alarms and feel groggy and irritable
for hours after getting up.
Regular quality sleep can lead to vast improvement in the symptoms of
ADD/ADHD. Simple changes to daytime habits go a long way toward
resting well at night.
Eating right
All children need a healthy diet to grow and develop properly. Special
diets have been used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
commonly known as ADHD, but many are still being researched.
Currently there is no specific diet for children with ADHD, but there is
anecdotal evidence that limiting certain foods can help prevent
symptoms of ADHD and manage the disorder.
Fresh Foods
The healthiest diet for a child with ADHD is rich in nutrient-dense foods
like fruits, vegetables, grains and healthy fats, says the Mayo Clinic.
Lean proteins and low-fat dairy products also provide vitamins,
minerals and nutrients that a child needs to be healthy and develop
physically and cognitively. The Mayo Clinic recommends limiting
sugary and processed foods; these tend to be high in calories and fat
but offer few essential nutrients.
Non-Salicylate Foods
Salicylate is a naturally occurring chemical in fruits and vegetables.
Foods that contain salicylates are eliminated on the Feingold diet, the
best-known diet used to treat ADHD. According to the Center for
Science in the Public Interest, or CSPI, non-salicylate fruits and
vegetables are bananas, melons, grapefruits, kiwis, lemons, mangos,
papayas, pears, pineapples, beans, beets, bean sprouts, broccoli,
cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, kale, lettuce, lentils, mushrooms,
onions, peas, potatoes, spinach, squash, corn, sweet potatoes and
zucchini. Foods high in salicylates should be avoided and include
apples, apricots, tomatoes, berries, cherries, cucumbers, grapes,
nectarines, oranges, peaches, peppers, plums and tangerines.
Additive-Free Foods
Food additives refer to artificial colorings, preservatives and flavorings.
According to the Mayo Clinic, food additives do not cause ADHD, but
may worsen hyperactivity. Food additives are generally used in
processed and commercially prepared foods. Additive-free foods
include fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, fish, eggs and dairy
products. The best way to tell if a food contains additives is to read
food labels and ingredient lists.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, omega-3 fatty
acids, an essential fatty acid, support normal brain function and may
benefit children with ADHD. Omega-3 fatty acids are in fish and fish oil,
walnuts, flaxseed, soybean and canola oil, Brussels sprouts, kale and
spinach.
therapy
Treatment for ADHD can also mean seeking outside help. Professionals
trained in ADHD can help your child learn new skills to cope with
symptoms and change habits that are causing problems.
Some therapies focus on managing stress and anger or controlling
impulsive behaviors, while others teach you how to handle time and
money better and improve your organizational skills.
Medication
Prescription drugs for ADHD can be helpful in treatment, but it’s
important to understand that medication is a tool, not a cure.
Medication for ADHD doesn’t work for everyone, and even when it does
work, it won’t solve all problems or completely eliminate symptoms. In
fact, while medication for ADD/ADHD often improves attention and
concentration, it typically does very little to help symptoms of
disorganization, poor time management, forgetfulness, and
procrastination.
Everyone responds differently to ADHD medication. Some people
experience dramatic improvement while others experience little to no
relief. The side effects also differ from person to person and, for some,
they far outweigh the benefits. Because everyone responds differently,
finding the right medication and dose takes time.
Medication for ADD/ADHD is more effective when combined with other
treatments. You will get much more out of your medication if you also
take advantage of other treatments that address emotional and
behavioral issues and teach you new coping skills.
ADD/ADHD medication should always be closely monitored. Medication
treatment for ADD/ADHD involves more than just taking a pill and
forgetting about it. You and your doctor will need to monitor side
effects, keep tabs on how you’re feeling, and adjust the dosage
accordingly. When medication for ADD/ADHD is not carefully
monitored, it is less effective and more risky.
supporting child’s treatment
Your child’s number one resource for treating his or her attention
deficit disorder is you—the parent or caretaker. You set the stage for
your child’s emotional and physical health. You have control over many
of the factors that can positively influence the symptoms of ADHD and
allow child to thrive.
Treatment for childhood ADD / ADHD at home
Children withADHD are more likely to succeed in completing tasks
when the tasks occur in predictable patterns and in predictable places,
so that they know what to expect and what they are supposed to do.
Follow a routine. It is important to set a time and a place for
everything to help a child with ADHD understand and meet
expectations. Establish simple and predictable rituals for meals,
homework, play, and bed.
Use clocks and timers. Consider placing clocks throughout the
house, with a big one in your child’s bedroom. Allow plenty of time for
what your child needs to do, such as homework or getting ready in the
morning.
Simplify your child’s schedule. Avoiding idle time is a good idea,
but a child with ADHD may become even more distracted and “wound
up” if there are too many after-school activities.
Create a quiet place. Make sure your child has a quiet, private space
of his or her own. A porch or bedroom can work well too—as long as
it’s not the same place as the child goes for a time-out.
Set an example for good organization. Set up your home in an
organized way. Make sure your child knows that everything has its
place. Role model neatness and organization as much as possible.
The importance of praise
As you establish a consistent structure and routine, keep in mind
that children with ADHD often receive criticism. Be on the lookout for
good behavior—and praise it. Praise is especially important for children
who have ADHD because they typically get so little of it. A smile,
positive comment, or other reward from you can improve your child’s
attention, concentration, and impulse control. Do your best to focus on
giving positive praise for appropriate behavior and task completion,
while giving as few negative responses as possible to inappropriate
behavior or poor task performance. Reward your child for small
achievements—these will lead to bigger successes down the road.
Treating ADHD naturally has helped a number of parents when
medications have failed to bring results, but prevention is still better
than cure. If your family has a history of ADHD, autism, and other
disorders, there are certain things you can do to protect your child
from the environmental triggers of these conditions.
Breastfeed.Breastfeeding your baby is not only more economical
than buying formula milk; it's healthier for the baby as well. A
breastfed baby has a lower chance of developing food allergies and
intolerance to casein, a protein found in milk known to trigger ADHD-
like symptoms. The nutrients found in breast milk also aid in the baby's
neurological development - assuming the mother is not suffering from
any nutritional deficits. If you are breastfeeding your child, keep taking
a daily multivitamin and omega-3 fish oil supplements so you and your
baby stay well-nourished.
Eat organic as much as possible.No matter how many times you
wash traditionally farmed vegetables with water, they will still contain
traces of pesticides. Most pesticides work by damaging the nervous
system of insects, but the human brain contains the same
neurotransmitters insects have. Although adults have developed a
certain resistance to these chemicals, young children and babies are
very vulnerable to their effects. This is why you should serve
organically farmed produce to your family as much as possible, or
restrict your diet to organic foods if you are pregnant.
For the same reason, avoid using pesticides in the home as well.
It's easy for children to be contaminated by household pesticides
because of the amount of time they spend playing on the floor.
Be careful about vaccines.Doctors and school officials give the
impression that vaccinating children is a must. Although children are
vulnerable to a number of diseases, it's startling to discover that many
of these vaccines contain neurotoxins like mercury, which contribute to
ADHD and autism. Educate yourself about the effects of infectious
childhood diseases and weigh the pros and cons before deciding to
have your child vaccinated.
Avoid food with artificial additives.It's a little-known fact that
artificial coloring, flavoring, and preservatives trigger the symptoms of
ADHD. Unfortunately, many foods marketed to children contain a lot of
these chemicals. Avoid buying foods with artificial additives, and
restrict candy and junk cereals to weekends or special occasions.
Encourage physical activity.Video games and TV shows can be
hypnotizing, but they also encourage kids to enjoy a sedentary
lifestyle. Physical activity is necessary to a child's neurological
development, so make sure your child spends a lot of time playing
outdoors. Set a limit to the number of hours he or she can watch TV.
