Common Questions and Answers about Adhd brain
adhd
Does he have other OCD symptoms? My niece, and two of my kids have this and ADHD. It is believed to be a seratonin issue (brain chemical) and often hereditary. He should be put on one of the seratonin meds to relieve these symtoms. These are anxiety meds like Zoloft. My daughters symptoms went away quickly my son need a pretty high dose because his symptoms were more severe. The tricky part in this is the ADHD because the ADHD meds can make OCD symtoms worse! They are stimulants.
What I have read about these EEGs is that they can identify waves of brain activity that are other than normal but they do not specify what is causing the brain activity. The problem with ADHD is that other disorders cause similar brain patterns. This is the same problem sith the Quotient ADHD test that has been advertised. More about that is here: http://primarilyinattentiveadd.com.
Good Luck!

Paradoxically, medications that are mild stimulants often deliver a calming effect to the central nervous system (brain and nerves) of those with ADHD. In some cases, antihypertensives or antidepressants may be prescribed. Whenever medication is included as part of the overall treatment plan, it is extremely important to work closely with the prescribing physician or therapist.
Medications Prescribed for ADD and ADHD include:
Adderall - Adderall is a central nervous system stimulant.
* Type 1 we call Classic ADHD. A type 1 has all the hallmark features of ADHD we discussed earlier, plus they're hyperactive and impulsive. They respond nicely to stimulant medication.
* Type 2 we call Inattentive ADHD. They have all the hallmark features of ADHD but are never hyperactive. They also respond to stimulants.
* Type 3 we call Overfocused ADHD.
After living with ADHD for 7 years I told my BFF about it. She began telling it doesn't exist and everyone has it. She asked me if I was in meds I said no. I can't take meds because I'm also bipolar and it causes manic stuff. I didn't tell her about the bipolar. Is ADHD really something everyone has or did she just make that up?
My son was assessed by a psychologist then diagnosed with adhd when he was 5yrs old. He was put on to concerta with many side effects.no appetite weight loss and extreme rebound effect at night which was unbearable. During that time I discovered neurotherapy and he started sessions 3 times a week. He improved markedly in his, concentration and focus in class and behaviour and meds were stopped.
To answer your first question, brainwaves can be defined as the electrical operation of the brain. When the brain operates, the nerve cells of the brain send electrical impulses, which causes quick voltage fluctuations in the brain. This occurs in various parts of the brain and there even varying frequencies that these occur in. The varying frequencies correspond with the certain mental states that occur in the brain as well.
Hi, I am also the CL on the adhd forum here - http://www.medhelp.org/forums/ADD---ADHD/show/175 - you might want to also post over there if you have additional questions.
Your son is a sharp little guy. Most kids cannot vocalize the idea of closing "the door in his brain". And it is not unusual for kids with ADHD to get tired of trying to explain why they are always getting into trouble and around first or second grade just start lying to avoid the consequences.
However, recently I came across a study that showed that long term use of the med impairs brain cells so I stopped abruptly. It has been years since I have been completely off the drug and I noticed that I have lost alot of my personality. I used to be so bubbly talkative and hammy. I no longer possess any of those qualities anymore, among other issues and I feel that they may be due to the long term use of the drug.
It is the part of the nervous system that organizes and processes information in the brain. If someone asks you a question for example------ the brain takes in the words. It then processes them. It then organizes the thought. It then organizes the thought for the answer. It gets the "plan" together and it then sends the message back out to the motor muscles (mouth) to answer.
My son is 12 and my son talks negative about himself all the time, especially after getting in trouble, when he thinks he should be getting in trouble, or when he does poorly on a school test. He even can't eat with lots of noise during lunch hours at school. My son is ADHD and has been picked on from his teachers since JK about potentially being ADHD.
