Question

How do attention deficit disorder drugs work based upon neurotransmitter activity in the brain?

Answer 1

Clinical psychologis: Psychologist counseling is warranted. Clinical psychology is an integration of science, theory and clinical knowledge. You will be able to get help with: behavior modification, life-style counseling, progressive relaxation, guided imagery, hypnosis, biofeedback, referral to psychiatrist if needed.

Answer 2

Violent childhood: I'm sorry to hear you've experienced a violent childhood -- this is more common than most people realize. There is certainly help available, though, through psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals. Some treatment focus might be on medications affecting neurotransmitters, but the bulk of help will come through psychotherapies. These can affect neurotransmitters also!

Answer 3

Yes: If either parent uses alcohol, the most well developed support group for this purpose is al-anon. If the addiction is to drugs, and no alcohol is involved, the less well developed support group nar-anon would be the best choice. If nar-anon is not available, codependents anonymous would also be useful.

Answer 4

Lots of options: The next step is a visit to the obgyn for an exam, sonogram and blood work. There are medications such as Lysteda which can help. Some will take birth control pills. A sonogram may show a polyp which can be removed. Others are candidates for an endometrial ablation. This is a safe easy option which can be done in a few minutes in the office. I am a fan of the genesys hta ablation.

Answer 5

See your doctor: Irregular periods are common. There are multiple potential treatments. Birth control pills or an iud are very reliable ways to treat this condition. A proper work-up should br performed before treatment is started in most cases.

Answer 6

Not a good idea: In less there is an actual reason to not have vaccinations, like for example, you have another child who had some sort of severe reaction following vaccinations, it is not a good idea to avoid vaccinating children at the appropriate ages. In order to maintain what is known as: herd immunity, the vaccination rate in the general population needs to be 95%. Vaccinations save lives.

Answer 7

No real risk: Vaccines do not cause autism.

Answer 8

No: There is no relationship between vaccines and autism. this has been looked at through multiple scientific studies which show no link. Any relationship reported is anecdotal and not scientifically validated. Remember autism can occur whether or not a child has had immunizations.. Posponing immunizations puts your child at risk for acquiring diseases that can be prevented.

Answer 9

Waste of time: Emerging data shows a link to distortion of cell DNA (codon changes)in kids with Autism. These are found in all cells in their. body. This was found first in families with more than 1 affected child.To do that the change had to be present from the point of conception,and likely in the egg. Shots after birth cannot do that, nor will any other post natal exposure.

Answer 10

Before they are born: Teaching your child healthy eating starts with our own healthy eating. Society provides a regular message to children that encourages eating unhealthy foods. Children's tv is littered with advertisements for sugary cereals and beverages and we have a growing rate of obesity among toddlers. Parents in today's society will have to work hard to provide healthy food messages, modeling is the key.

Answer 11

Very early: Basically, as soon as they are eating on their own, you want to encourage and provide healthy options that you yourself are eating. You teach by example, not lecturing on the evils of candies and cake.

Answer 12

At about 6 months: The best way to teach is by being a role model. The site below addresses nutrition for children and it is never too early to start. http://www.fns.usda.gov/fns/nutrition.htm.

Answer 13

Show by example: Show the child what to eat by setting an example of what you eat this is a long process of many months to years. The amount of exercise will also have to be included.
