ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Disorders are neurological problems, which cause difficulties in attention and concentration, learning and memory, as well as hardships in personal and professional relationships.
ADHD Symptoms
- Easily being diverted.
- Impulsiveness.
- Difficulty in organization and planning.
- Fondness for high-risk and high-anxiety level activities.
- Being “disconnected” from the present.
- Low frustration threshold.
- Expressions of boredom.
- Disquiet.
- Difficulty in shifting from one topic to another.
- Memory problems.
- Interpersonal problems.
Many of the individuals who suffer from ADHD also suffer from Learning Difficulties. However, an Attention Disorder is not a learning difficulty.
The neurological expressions of an Attention Disorder are low-frequency brainwaves. The brain cannot maintain attention and concentration for long periods of time, when it is unable to synchronize the high-frequency brainwaves necessary for this task. If the brain is not taught to control the various brainwaves, one cannot expect an improvement in attention and concentration.
An individual who functions on low-frequency brain waves makes a much greater effort in learning. It is several times the effort experienced by an individual who functions on high-frequency brainwaves. This huge effort takes an emotional toll, as well.
