Hyperactive children. More and more, blackberries and more treaties

The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) now figure well in the new Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM5) - output for May 2013 - and, if diagnosed, opens the way to psychopharmacological treatment.
Recall that this is a problem that children attend primary school ... Children, often based on a summary diagnosis, begin to take drugs. Because the evaluation of a hyperactivity disorder should take into account many different factors, family and environmental, and should not lead to the automatic switching to drug treatment. This was stated by Prof. Vittorio Lingiardi, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Rome, who adds that recognize a real attention deficit with hyperactivity which seem difficult, but today the diagnosis seems too frequent. The overdiagnosis is confirmed by a study of Canadian and an American, and at this point we ask the reason for the steady increase in cases of hyperactive children. One possible answer gives the shock prof. Alessandro Salvini. Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Padua. Salvini said, referring to the new manual DSM5: "American textbook, led and dominated by the drug companies that spend millions of dollars on its members to obtain billions later." ... Now things appear a bit 'lighter ...

Too many children diagnosed hyperactivity syndrome, boom drugs

The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed too easily, and this is raising unjustifiably prescriptions of drugs potentially dangerous to the health of children and teenagers. , According to a study by Australia's Bond University published in the British Medical Journal.

About one child in 11 and one adult in 25 is affected by the disease, but according to the authors only the most severe cases, about 14%, must be treated with medication. In the US, however, he found the study, 87% of children diagnosed receives a prescription for a drug. Sales of Ritalin and other molecules that are used in such cases increased by 72% in Australia over the past 10 years, and doubled between 2008 and 2011 in Britain and Holland. "These drugs cause weight loss, liver problems and suicidal tendencies - the authors explain - and their long-term consequences are not yet known, although mouse studies seem to confirm that long-term use causes addiction."

According to the authors before making the diagnosis doctors should wait and observe the patient for at least ten weeks. "There is a tendency to use the term ADHD and 'medicalization' immediately the child's condition - explain - instead it may depend on other factors such as family problems."

Emergency Autism, a portal to Know and Share

Autism is a multi-systemic disease with abnormal development, communication, neurological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immune riconosiuta is in average age between 15 and 20 months. In the past it was believed that children were born with this disorder already acquired. Today, in most cases, the baby is progressing normally, and then begins to decline as they grow, gradually losing (or failing to develop) language, social skills and physical skills. There are different degrees of severity, but most children withdraws completely in his own world.

Children with autism generally have a number of biomedical problems and neurological: many suffer from chronic diarrhea due to intestinal damage that do not allow them to absorb vital nutrients, minerals and vitamins essential for optimal functioning of the brain; the functioning of liver and kidney is damaged, which causes the deposition in their body of high levels of toxic substances from the environment, such as lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic and other heavy metals; the immune system is compromised to the point that they can not fight even the simplest infection fungal, parasitic and bacterial.

Although today we continue to believe that children can not overcome autism, that there is proper care and therefore, it is a permanent disability for life, many children improve with the help of medical interventions, faces the restoration of biological capacities such as proper digestion of food and the expulsion of the accumulated toxins. The therapies can help them develop new brain pathways to acquire various skills. There are cases of children recovered, but at this point still rare. The healing cases are usually obtained with an intensive program of behavioral therapies 1 to 1 with a minimum of 40 hours a week, coupled to a medical intervention and personalized nutritional. E 'required more research and communication with the professionals who deal with autism, to help these beautiful children heal and to offer them adequate medical and therapeutic.
Our hope, in this world day for autism, is that science can step up its efforts to meet the needs of these children.

Essentially the treatment strategies are three: biomedical, behavioral and sensory. But we see, in concrete terms, what are the basic steps to take and how:

Biomedical
Autism could also be described as an intestinal illness because almost invariably show all children have, even in the absence of symptoms, gastrointestinal tract inflamed and swollen lymph nodes, a gut that is clearly damaged in absorbing the nutrients from the foods and digest what is needed to nourish the body. The gut is the largest organ and the first hit: a healthy gut is the first step in the path of healing and a restrictive diet (no casein, gluten, soy, or sugar) is the first and best strategy that a parent can take to route their child to recovery. You will find many documents on the portal that will help in this first step, indispensable, which led to a significant improvement within 3-6 months at least 81% of children with autistic disorders. You can also read a document containing a collection of information, advice and recipes written by the parents of Emergenzautismo. They will then run a series of diagnostic tests to evaluate specific biochemical problems of your child in order to better face the path to healing.

Behavioural
In the guidelines of S.I.N.P.I.A. (Italian Society of Neuropsychiatry of Children 'and' Adolescence) states clearly that ABA It is the first choice as educational intervention and rehabilitation for people in the artistic spectrum. The A.B.A. (Applied Behaviour Analysis, namely Applied Behavior Analysis) is based on the use of the principles of behavioral science to the modification of behavior socially significant and is applied in many fields with great success, one of these is autism. Try to set up, as soon as possible, an ABA program full-time, our portal contains all information and plan an intervention speech therapy and occupational therapy advanced.

Sensory
Sensory integration dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and balance) are not integrated and organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying degrees of problems in development, interpreting the information and, consequently, in behavior. Sensory problems may underlie some behaviors such as rocking, flapping their hands and rotate, which then turn out to be the symptom and not the problem. Even this path is to be taken into consideration in order to help our children in the long road to improvement. Also in this case, the portal will find many documents in this regard.
