Hello,
as you know, my name is Marina Bordas and my research project is
about the study of ADHD.
I
decided to do my project about ADHD because I would like to study
psychology at University, and it is a disorder that is increasingly
diagnosed in children and some years ago it was diagnosed for my
sister.
This
disorder is quite complex, because many people think that it's
invented.
Attention
deficit – hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common
source
neurobiological
that begins in childhood between 7-9 years old, and is characterized
by
presence
of attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity and
impulsivity.
Impulsivity
is characterized by a lack of self-control or inability to inhibit
behavior.
Hyperactivity
is characterized by frequent movement of hands and feet.
There
is no definite cause for 100% ADHD. Not all children have the same
symptoms and the symptoms can vary according to age, so may cause
problems about diagnosis and treatment. The treatment of ADHD is
multimodal, that is, involves more than one professional
doctor,teachers, parents and the patient. And medicines are
dangerous, as there are many side effects.
Doing
the project I learnt that there are many people who don't know what
ADHD is and I think that it should be reported because, as I
mentioned before, there are more people with the disorder and, from
the point of view of education, I think that teachers should adapt
exams and follow the protocol that has been established so that
students can continue in classes , with good conditions and they are
more motivated to get better marks.
