*** Is Hyperactivity a Disease? ***
Contents provided by Dr. Lendon Smith, M.D.* Is Hyperactivity a Disease? * The pharmaceutical industry and psychiatrists are making this condition of ADHD a diagnosable disease, like pneumonia. It is not a disease, but a multifactorial condition and nutrition can help these children function in the over-controlled classrooms.
* What Explanations Are Given For a Childis Hyperactivity? * I am a retired pediatrician who learned from Dr. Charles Bradley here in Portland of the paradoxical effects of stimulant drugs on hyper kids. It has been assumed that these children do not have enough norepinephrine in their limbic systems. This is the part of the brain that helps to screen out unimportant stimuli.
The global statement: These children are unable to disregard unimportant stimuli. Everything comes into the cortex or conscious part of the brain with equal intensity. They are goosey, ticklish; they notice everything and have to respond to those incoming stimuli. Someone drops a pencil; he has to go pick it up. This distractibility is what gets him into trouble and makes the teacher report him to the parents. This message gets to the pediatrician or the psychiatrist who feels that medication is appropriate.
The science here is that the child is not making enough of a brain chemical that helps him ignore unimportant stimuli. Is it a disease or a nutritional deficiency?
