102. Why Girls With Attention Deficit Disorder Go Undiagnosed Why Girls with attention deficit disorder Go Undiagnosed. Many people think attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a boy s disease. http://www.womenshealth.org/a/attention_deficit_disorder_girls.htm

Why Girls with Attention Deficit Disorder Go Undiagnosed Their Symptoms Are Not The Same As In Boy As these girls hit the teen years, the increased organizational demands of junior high and high school become too much. They may become tired and disheartened by poor school performance. The girls with hyperactivity may throw themselves into social relationships to compensate. They may be described as "boy-crazy" or "party girls". ADD and ADHD girls alike begin to show more risky sexual and other behaviors. They may use drugs or alcohol both due to increasing impulsivity and to self-medicate. Shoplifting, teen pregnancy, and eating disorders are also found more often in females with ADD. Why the Symptoms Are Different The differences in actual enviromental disorganization are clearly due to social factors. But, no one knows for certain why there is such a large difference in hyperactive behavior between the two genders. It could be that girls have more pressure to conform. Course, loud social behavior in a boy may be tolerated. But, a girl may be more pressured into silence. Likewise for girls, the impulsive actions may get a more negative reaction from adults and peers alike. In fact, it has been found that girls with ADHD (those who do express the hyperactive qualities) have more negative social consequences than boys. This is true even though the boys have more hyperactivity. No physical differences have been identified. Girls With ADD Are Not Considered A Problem To Their Teachers

Alternative treatments for adults with ADHD. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Vol. 931, June 2001, pp. 310-41 Docosahexaenoic acid deficiency may be key to ADHD WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA. It is estimated that 3-5% of the school-age population in the United States suffer from attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Prominent symptoms of this disorder are a poor attention span, inability to complete tasks, hyperactivity, and a tendency to interrupt others. Almost one quarter of children with ADHD also suffer from one or more specific learning disabilities in math, spelling or reading. Burgess, John R., et al.

Dyslexia is a fairly common condition which involves difficulties in learning to read and write, mirror reversals of letters and words, and poor short-term memory. Dyslexia is closely related to dyspraxia (problems with coordination and muscle control) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is estimated that about 10% of the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom suffer from dyslexia and 4% are severely affected. There was a 3-fold increase in the prevalence of learning disorders in the USA over the period 1976 to 1993 and 80% of the new cases involved dyslexia.

112. ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder And Yoga Yoga for babies and children with special needs Down syndrome, autism, attention deficit disorder, ADHD, cerebral palsy and learning disabilities. http://www.specialyoga.com/add.htm

Attention Deficit Disorder is a behavioral disorder formally defined as a significant deficiency in age-appropriate attention, impulse control and rule-governed behavior, which manifests in early childhood. Associated behaviors include: difficulty in following instructions; speaking or acting before one thinks; poor organizational skills; restlessness; impatience; forgetfulness; low self-esteem; and, in the case of children with ADHD, hyperactivity. Some experts believe that attention deficit disorder is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but there is no documented proof that this is actually the case. The incidence of attention deficit disorder varies from 3 to 15 percent for school age population, depending on the strictness of the diagnosis. Sometimes referred to as ADD or ADD/WO (attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity), children with this disorder generally do not perform well in school, though most of them test at average or above average intelligence. Since breath is deeply connected to the emotions, teaching yogic breathing exercises (pranayama) is an ideal way to start working with children who have attention deficit disorder. However, it is important for the yoga teacher to first find a way to create a strong bond with the child, in order to gain the child's trust and attention. Then the exercises will progress more rapidly. In addition to its positive effect on the emotions, pranayama stimulates vital areas of the brain and central nervous system. By combining pranayama with yoga poses (asanas) and deep relaxation, the benefits are greatly enhanced. With regular yoga practice, children with attention deficit disorder develop greater body awareness, emotional balance and concentration - increasing their capacity for schoolwork and creative play. As overall performance improves, so does their self-esteem.

ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Scott, Mary E. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Digest #445. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC TEXT: WHAT IS ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER? Many teachers and parents have received and will continue to receive the diagnosis of ADD for children who have problems. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has identified and defined this disorder. According to the American Psychiatric Association (1980), ADD is indicated when children display inappropriate inattention, impulsivity, and sometimes hyperactivity for their mental and chronological age. ADD may be diagnosed as with or without hyperactivity. Approximately 20% of the population will be diagnosed as having ADD. Teachers and parents are the ones who usually seek help for children who exhibit the problems associated with ADD. Children from ages 8 to 10 years are most likely to be referred and diagnosed as ADD. The younger the child is when diagnosed as ADD, the more severe form of ADD they are likely to show. Conversely, if preadolescent and/or adolescent children are diagnosed, they will usually show a less severe form of ADD. ADD is most obvious in situations that call for self-application or in group situations, and may be absent in a one-to-one situation or in a situation that is novel to the child. These facts should be kept in mind as the criteria used for diagnosis of ADD are considered.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is NOT a Disease Not a disease? Clearly, most ADD/ADHD people, regardless of age, may have problems and personal issues, but they do not feel "sick" and most do not think that their difficulties in life exist because they have a "disease." Well, what do they have if they do not have a disease? Well, to start with, all individuals with a history of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention "without cause" can be said to have ADD/ADHD brain chemistry. Now, for the terminological twist. Those who are in distress because of ADD/ADHD behavioral characteristics, that is, have painful symptoms, or disability with impairment in one or more areas of functioning, or have a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability or an important loss of freedom should be identified according to the DSM-IV as having ADD/ADHD, the "mental disorder." The reason these individuals should seek help from a health professional is to confirm that ADD/ADHD characteristics are in deed present and document that distress exists. For physicians, it is critical to establish the presence of distress to justify the prescribing of ADD/ADHD medication. Many with a history of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention have ADD/ADHD brain chemistry but no significant distress. According to the DSM-IV, their ADD/ADHD behaviors should be considered within the boundaries of normal. In the absence of distress, it is difficult both to justify medical treatment and to evaluate the efficacy of medication if it were to be prescribed. In practice, then, the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, the mental disorder, is clearly a clinical judgment.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists Search by Area Site Map Frequently Asked Questions Home ... Mental Health Info Mental Health and Growing Up, Second Edition Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity Printable Version Factsheet 5, for parents and teachers What are the problems? The words attention deficit and hyperactivity are used by professionals to describe the problems of children who are overactive and have difficulties concentrating. In everyday life, people often describe children who become excitable, boisterous or disobedient as hyperactive. The professional term refers to a more severe and long-lasting problem. The terms attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are used in the USA. The official term in the UK is hyperkinetic disorder . It describes a severe condition which affects about 1 in 100 primary school children. These differences in terminology sometimes causes confusion. In both instances, affected children usually have problems with attention control and overactivity. What are the signs?
