Attention Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit Disorder is the fastest growing childhood dis-ease in the world while an estimated 3 percent of the US population suffers from Bi-Polar Disorder.

According to The Child and Adolescent Bi-Polar Foundation, "it is suspected that a significant number of children diagnosed in the US with attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity have early-onset bipolar disorder instead of or along with ADHD."

Experts' opinions differ as to what ADD actually is and this causes even more grief and confusion for parents and those suffering with the symptoms. ADD/ADHD is a baffling and frustrating disorder due to the fact that experts do not agree on its exact cause or causes. There are many theories and much debate.

The American Psychiatric Association lists fourteen signs, of which at least eight must be present for a child to be officially classified as ADD/ADHD. These fourteen signs are:

1. Often fidgeting with hands or feet, or squirming while seated.
2. Having difficulty remaining seated when required to do so.
3. Being easily distracted by extraneous stimuli.
4. Having difficulty awaiting turn in games or group activities.
5. Often blurting out answers before questions are completed.
6. Having difficulty in following instructions.
7. Having difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities.
8. Often shifting from one uncompleted task to another.
9. Having difficulty playing quietly.
10. Often talking excessively.
11. Often interrupting or intruding on others.
12. Often not listening to what is being said.
13. Often forgetting things necessary for tasks or activities.
14. Often engaging in physically dangerous activities without considering possible consequences.

At the ADD & Bi-Polar Research Foundation for Holistic Wellness, we recognize four major components as foundational factors that cause Attention Deficit and Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder. These four major causal factors include:

Genetically, often one or both biological parents or grandparents either exhibit or carry the DNA marker for ADD/HD or Bi-Polar tenancies. In fact, genetics can contribute over 50% to a child's behavioral outcome.

Emotionally, children who exhibit ADD/HD behavior are actually using a defense style that defer them from feeling the pain of not being 'capable enough' while Bi-Polar children attempt to compensate for 'not being good enough' by over-doing and then falling to depression when their attempts fail to receive the attention, acceptance and love they are striving so hard to achieve.

Working with children who have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, we 'see' a center comprised of confusion and pain. Life becomes a chore of managing repressed emotions and debilitating core beliefs that expresses it self as low self esteem, anxiety, depression or attachment issues.
