An Easy Way To Understand ADHD: For Children And Adults

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological disorder that researchers theorize is caused by an imbalance of specific neurotransmitters - chemicals in the brain that assist in the organization of thoughts, communication and impulse control between neurons, which inhibit responses to stimulation. These are all symptoms exhibited in children and adults who suffer from ADHD. ADHD develops in childhood and is a very common condition. In the US about 5-10% of school-age children may have it and about 5% of adults. Boys are more prone to have it than girls and it can persist into adulthood. Fortunately not every child will experience the adult version of the condition.In this book I have outlined in an easy to understand way, what ADHD is, what strategies can be tried to alleviate the condition and the importance of diet, avoiding artificial food colorings and preservatives where possible and some suggested alternative treatments. In addition, I have included chapters on dietary supplements and herbal preparations.Reading this book will enable you to better understand how you and your family will be better able to cope with a family member who has been diagnosed with an ADHD condition.
