The Theory of Deficit Disorder

May be too much sugar puts hyperactivity with the person involved. And lastly it is hereditary, there are parents who had ADD but never knew that they had. .

             Currently, there is no cure for Attention Deficit Disorder except for giving several medications in which it acts as stimulants that will refresh the mind of the children and ease the tension in them. They call this stimulant as the neurotransmitters because it sends out to the nerve of the brain. When a child is involved, a teacher can diagnose if the students have an ADD and the doctor can make some diagnosis again and test the child until he finds the disorder. This is the time where the doctor will recommend for a treatment or to take medications. One of the medications that are being prescribed by doctors is "Ritalin" and one cannot buy this if you do not have a prescription. The "Ritalin" will relax the hyperactive child particularly when the activity is uncontrollable. It is said that if the ADD were not treated earlier, it will be harder to cure it on a later part. .

             Here are some of the proofs that ADD can be defined based on the American Psychiatric Association (APA) based on U.S. Department of Education (1994) that can be found on the online source, http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/add_adhd/add_doe_facts.html:.
