    Adhd: Disorder or Cop-Out

    Each year, millions of children are at risk of being misdiagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), and prescribed potentially harmful medications for this disorder. 9.5 percent, or 5 million, children in the United States were diagnosed with ADHD as of 2007. 2.8 million of those children received a prescription for a stimulant medication, such as Ritalin or Adderall, in 2008 (A Misdiagnosis, Anywhere). Do all of these children actually have ADHD? No. Therefore, do all of these children need ADHD medications? Definitely not. This will be proven throughout this article. Being easily distracted, failing to pay attention, not being able to sit still, forgetfulness, talking non-stop, and hitting others are the symptoms that determine if a child has ADHD, but almost all children act this way (washington.edu). It is normal. Children should be given the opportunity to grow out of the symptoms that classify them as having ADHD. Some children just simply are not as mature as others their age, but that is not a good enough reason to assume that the child has ADHD, especially with the serious side effects that can occur with the prescribed medications.…

    Adhd Research Paper

    For the past 100 years how to treat children with ADHD has been among controversy. I am sure you are wondering what is ADHD? Several families have found themselves asking the same questions. ADHD is a common developmental and behavioral disorder. It is characterized by poor concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulses that are inappropriate for the child's age. Children with ADHD are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for long periods of time, are restless and impulsive, or have a tendency to daydream and be slow to complete tasks. (webcenter.health.webmd.netscape.com/content/article/45/1663-51211, 2006). In my research…

    Adhd Research Paper

    This article introduced me to cognitive-enhancers, or medicines that cause the “pharmaceutical enhancement of our cognitive skill set, whether of memory, our ability to focus, or the speed with which we process information” (1). This article also told me about the debate between scientists on whether cognitive enhancers; are ethical, useful, or even possible. This really changed the way that I looked at my topic because I thought that the use of these drugs was just a thing students did to get better grades. This article was exactly the kind of information that I was looking for. I used this knew knowledge of cognitive-enhancers to split my topic into parts; How do Medicines meant for ADHD/ADD affect those with ADHD/ADD? How do they affect those without ADHD/ADD? Do they Work as a study aid? If so why not have everyone take them? I also added cognitive-enhancers to my keywords which helped me weed out the articles that weren't relevant to my search. I wanted to find more articles similar to this one so I began to search Scientific American. I found a few that seemed promising but a paid subscription is needed to view the articles. So, I typed the articles into Marvel to get full…

    ADHD

    Children are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) too easily and without being properly tested for ADHD. Many children are being misdiagnosed because parents, teachers, and doctors are not taking into consideration that many other factors can lead to behavioral problems. If used properly ADHD medications such as Ritalin can be very helpful to children who have this disorder, but far too many parents and doctors are too quick to prescribe medications to control behavior. We owe it to children to try to find another way first before a prescription is written up.…

    Adhd Meeting Reflection

    On September 13th, 2016 at 2:00 pm I participated in a PPT meeting for my second grader, Matthew Ellis. I was excited for him to begin a new year of school within the Marlborough school district. However, upon arrival to the PPT meeting, the special education director, Mrs. Plack was late due to grabbing the wrong folder. In addition to being late and unprepared, this meeting became extremely uncomfortable for me after Mrs. Plack asked several inappropriate questions such as is Matthew on medication for his ADHD or does Matthew have father issues rather than a learning disability. This made me feel as though his services were in question and that medication played a role in his qualification for support services. Furthermore, these questions…
