The darker side of drugs prescribed for ADHD
The Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD
), Commonly associated with restless children, restless and distracted, has recently attracted the attention of the medical community and that, more often, has been diagnosed as adults, says Dr. Philips Asherson, Institute of Psychiatry in London, requires the necessary attention in order to curb its impact on mental health of thousands of people worldwide. This because, as documented by several studies in the United States, approximately 70% of children with ADHD 
stress of the mother during pregnancy
or excessive consumption of foods with artificial flavors, preservatives or artificial coloring favor ADHD appearance of both children and adults . Also today, neither has found a cure for this condition. addition, it is documented that when ADHD occurs in adults , can derail vocations, jobs, relationships and other age-appropriate activities, and even lead to divorce in people quite stable emotionally. This is because most adults
with ADHD ignore that even with the disorder or, where appropriate, have developed, and yet their lives are affected, to see how their goals are going to reach , causing stress
, frustration and even depression as adviser says the World Health Organization (WHO) and professor emeritus at King's College London, David Goldberg.
The ADHD in adults follows a slightly different pattern in children. The adults often late for work or major events, being disorganized, lost objects constantly forgetting important appointments and dates both family and work environment, and equally restless and have difficulty relaxing. On the other hand, some people with ADHD fail concentrate during the reading, writing or practice of psycho-mathematics skills, and have mood swings, low self-esteem and not master the anger
. also for adults with ADHD , emerging tasks under pressure are difficult to meet, so they have difficulty keeping a job. In fact, workers who suffer from ADHD lose a month of work per year than people who do not have this problem, as revealed in the World Mental Health Survey of WHO and Harvard University, in addition, only half of adults with ADHD are able to maintain a full time position, compared to 72% of adults without the disorder and that when they do their work, tend to produce less than their peers, causing, global, companies lose millions quantities.
reveals As World Mental Health Survey of WHO and Harvard University, only half of adults with ADHD are able to maintain a full time position. Similarly, the survey showed that the ADHD is more common among men than women and at the same time, inter-level workers between executives and technical managers. Likewise, age did not appear to be associated with risk for ADHD . In this regard, the scientists who conducted the study said that, unlike those of children, detecting
ADHD in adults is tempered because, while they are diagnosed with them from their low school performance, to the adult only be dismissed or relegated to low labor productivity show. is why for adults , addressing the symptoms of ADHD can be frustrating in itself. In addition, many specialists say, many adults with ADHD
have coexisting conditions such as ordepression, anxiety
obsessive-compulsive , so it becomes much more complex diagnosis. They are also more likely to develop addiction as alcoholism or smoking
. However, adults with ADHD can limit these problems by seeking proper treatment. For example, a large number of medical specialists tend to prescribe same drugs that help children with ADHD , to also benefit adults . Among which various stimulants, which sharpen the focus and increase the chemical activity of the brain, mainly in the production of dopamine and norepinephrine, are believed to be unbalanced in adults with ADHD . Treatment that is true, currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Most adults with ADHD improve when they start the medication, however, may continue to struggle with bad habits and the low self-esteem , so he should seek help from psychologists, social workers and other professionals in the care of such alterations in mental health . is reported that the adults with ADHD
can lead to increased job performance through training or mentoring, so that the mentor promotes organizational skills such as taking notes, maintaining a agenda and set priorities in a to-do list. So, too, adults with ADHD can apply for or seek to have your work environment is quiet (with few distractions away from windows, doors and high traffic areas) or in any case, working in teams.
also to mitigate the effects of ADHD in adults, we recommend dividing large tasks into small parts to make them more manageable and only then, finish it on time, so it is useful to set a deadline for each party. Similarly, self-adhesive sheets used in visible areas (fridge, mirrors, closet or dashboard) to remember important activities as far as possible, ask the boss to repeat instructions rather than guess. Only then, assert psychologists and psychiatrists, can cope with ADHD . Some experts believe that the food
that promote brain activity can reduce symptoms of ADHD . Foods rich in protein , such as nuts, meat, fish, beans and eggs, improve concentration. Likewise, it is advisable to replace simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates like whole grain pasta or brown rice, in order to anticipate changes stabilize mood and health of people living with ADHD
. While the adults with ADHD can not be cured of this condition, many may come to learn to manage it properly and in the long term to reduce problems at home and at work, so patients with ADHD
achieve closer to their families and fully comply with their career goals, coupled with good mental health . Source: http://www.doctorweb.org/noticias/deficit-de-atencion-en-adultos-una-realidad-que-puede-costar-millones
