Because people are different anxiety disorder symptoms may vary from person to person. Worry, fear, and anxiety are a normal part of our life. Have you experienced feeling anxious before taking an exam and later find out that you got a higher result more than what youve expected?

But, if your anxiety suddenly occur without apparent reason and lasts for weeks to months and happens in most days than not, that is another issue. If anxiety persists in most days than not, and takes longer than six months, it has become an immobilizing disorder.
An anxiety disorder is a recurring and excessive anxiety and worry about events or activities without logical reasons at all lasting for more than six moths and it is interfering with everyday activities, such as going to work, and socializing. A person experiencing anxiety condition finds it difficult to control the feelings of worry and fear. The thing about people with anxiety disorder is that they actually know that what they think of feel is not real and that they are just made-up.
The common anxiety disorders are Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, and Selective Mutism.
A person with anxiety condition may suffer different anxiety disorder symptoms. And because no two individuals are the same, the anxiety disorder symptoms may vary from one person to the other.
The physical symptoms of anxiety disorder are cause by brain sending messages to parts of the body to prepare for the flight to fight response. The lungs, heart, and other parts of the body work faster and the brain releases stress hormones, including adrenaline, and that explains that physical symptoms.

It was five years ago when I had my first panic attack. It was so frightening because I had no idea what was happening to me or why. I was in a restaurant with friends, a situation Id enjoyed many times before, when it began. I felt unbelievably tense and my heart was pounding away nineteen to the dozen. A friend had to take me home and I hid in my room for the rest of the afternoon, terrified of what had happened but not knowing why.
Every few weeks I started to experience similar occurences. Sometimes in public and sometimes even at home for no apparent reason. Eventually I went to my doctor who told me I had an anxiety disorder and the only treatment was taking daily pills.
Well I tried that for a while but whilst it seemed to help I felt it was no good for me in the long term because I was feeling sluggish and felt the medication was draining the life out of me. I certainly didnt want to get addicted to taking pills for the rest of my life.
I stopped taking the pills but the fear of an attack happening at any time made a big impact on my life. I was beginning to fear being in any social situation. I even worried about driving to work in case an attack left me stranded in the traffic, unable to drive.
So, I decided to do my own research on the Internet for alternative ways to cope with my anxiety without drugs. There seemed to be a lot of advice about and some of it helped a little. The real breakthrough came, however, when I discovered an E-book by a man named Joe Barry.
His method for coping, which he calls The One Move made a huge difference for me. Nothing is an immediate cure for this condition, which I had discovered is common for thousands of people. When I used Mr. Barrys technique every day, however, I gradually regained my confidence to face life again as I used to do.
See how this works at www.panicportal.info
Now I have not taken any drugs for this condition for over three years. I now, however, can face life every day without any fear that an anxiety attack will debilitate me.
Ive discovered that the experience of anxiety is very common with thousands of people. Everyones experience is a little diffent, however, which is why I decided to start this blog to publish all the information I could find to help others.
I hope you will discover information here to help your condition. If you were to ask me for one recommendation though to help you tackle anxiety attacks right away, I would say get Mr. Barrys book right now and start to put his ideas into practice.
Working to cope with anxiety will take time. You have to want to find the way out and to work at it.
You can learn more about this method at his web site:

The process of taking in sensory information, organizing this information in the central nervous system, and using the information to function smoothly in daily life. Sensory integration is a continual process: As children become more competent, their sensory integration improves, so that the more children do, the more they can do. Sensory experiences include touch, movement, body awareness, sight, sound, and the pull of gravity; as the brain organizes and interprets this information, it provides a crucial foundation for later, more complex learning and behavior. This critical function of the brain is responsible for producing a composite picture of a child’s existence, so that the child can understand who he is physically, where he is, and what is going on in the environment around him.

For most children, effective sensory integration occurs automatically and unconsciously, without effort, in the course of ordinary childhood activities. But for some children, sensory integration does not develop as efficiently as it should. When the process breaks down, a number of problems in learning, development, or behavior may develop.

The concept of sensory integration comes from a body of work developed by occupational therapist A. Jean Ayres, Ph.D., who was interested in the way in which sensory processing and motor planning disorders interfere with daily life function and learning. This theory has been developed and refined by the research of Dr. Ayres, as well as other occupational and physical therapists. In addition, literature from the fields of neuropsychology, neurology, physiology, child development, and psychology has contributed to theory development and treatment strategies.

Children with sensory integration problems may be bright, but they may have trouble using a pencil, playing with toys, or taking care of personal tasks, such as getting dressed. Some children with this problem are so afraid of movement that ordinary swings, slides, or jungle gyms trigger fear and insecurity. On the other hand, some children whose problems lie at the opposite extreme are uninhibited and overly active, often falling and running headlong into dangerous situations. In each of these cases, a sensory integrative problem may be an underlying factor. Its far-reaching effects can interfere with academic learning, social skills, even self-esteem.

Research clearly identifies sensory integrative problems in children with developmental or learning difficulties, and independent research shows that a sensory integrative problem can be found in some children who are considered learning disabled by schools. However, sensory integrative problems are not limited to children with learning disabilities; they can affect all ages, intellectual levels, and socioeconomic groups.

A number of situations can trigger sensory integration problems:

Prematurity As more premature infants survive today, they enter the world with easily overstimulated nervous systems and multiple medical problems. Parents need to learn how to give their premature infant the sensory nourishment their child requires for optimal development, and how to avoid harmful overstimulation.

Developmental disorders Severe problems with sensory processing is a hallmark of AUTISM. Autistic children seek out unusual amounts of certain types of sensations but are extremely hypersensitive to others. Similar traits are often seen in other children with developmental disorders. Improving sensory processing will help these children develop more productive contacts with people and environments.

Learning disabilities As many as 30 percent of school-age children may have learning disabilities. While most of these children have normal intelligence, many are likely to have sensory integrative problems. These children are also more likely than their peers to have been born prematurely, to have had early developmental problems, and to have poor motor coordination. Early intervention can improve sensory integration in these children, minimizing the possibility of school failure before it occurs.

Many studies indicate that children with learning disabilities are at risk for later delinquency, criminal behavior, alcoholism, and drug abuse because of repeated failure in school. By interrupting the vicious cycle of failure, intervention to help children with sensory integration and learning problems may also prevent serious social problems later in life.

Brain injury Trauma to the brain as a result of accidents and strokes can have profound effects on sensory functioning. Children who suffer from these effects deserve treatment that will lead to the best possible recovery. In order for this to occur, their sensory deficits must be addressed.

I just had an anxiety attack. I get them every now and again (I was diagnosed when I was young with O.C.D but now I have more like anxiety) I hate those and I want to know is there a way to calm myself down? I get mini attacks when its over.

I teach skydiving and so I need to manage this in my students from time to time. Here are the things that I find, work very well for just about everyone;
1. Close eyes and imagine you are walking into a very safe place (this part should be practiced before hand ideally). A nice sunny glade in a kindly inviting forest usually works well. Its best if you can sit down and maybe even lie down. Start to use positive words (affirmations) to convince your mind that you are feeling more calm (it works).
2. Deep breathing will start to slow down your heart rate. This is the way to do it. Take a BIG deep breath through your nose and hold it, then breath in a little MORE so you really FILL your lungs. Then as slowly as you can (say, over 6-8 seconds) breath out through your mouth. Do this only twice and your heart rate will have started to slow down. A few minutes later you can do it again, but too often may make you feel light headed.
3. A drop or two of Rescue Remedy on your tongue will surely help. Its homeopathic and available over the counter at your Pharmacist.
4. Only if you are hyper-ventilating, breath into a paper bag.
5. Later/afterward, get some training on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). When you do it youll recognize the points Ive mentioned above and youll learn to do them even better. Gradually youll take more and more control of your attacks and life will feel better.

She had few friends and mingled in public places as little as possible. When the panic attacks started, Sally sought help and discovered that she was suffering from Social Anxiety disorder (Social Phobia). She has come a long way in the last few years since receiving treatment but her struggle is ongoing. She furrows her brow as she states "Every day is a battle to keep the anxiety at bay".
For millions of South Africans, every day is a struggle with debilitating social anxiety. Anxiety is a universal human trait. We have all had the experience of feeling shy, anxious and self-conscious whether giving a speech, eating in front of other people or asking the object of your affection out on a date.
When this self-consciousness becomes so intense that a person starts avoiding situations which provoke it, and when the persons social and/or occupational functioning becomes impaired because of this, it crosses the line from normal anxiety to Social Anxiety disorder.
Internet
In this age of technology, people are dealing more and more with ATMs, answering machines and e-mail, and less and less with actual people. We push buttons instead of shaking hands. It is argued that this techno-culture breeds Social Anxiety disorder by denying people the essential practice needed to develop social skills. However this same techno-culture may also provide help with the problem in the form of the Internet.
Sally discovered the joy of chatting online when her boyfriend installed a PC in their study at home two years ago. "Having been in cognitive-behavioural therapy and on medication for a year already, I was managing better, but still struggling with the practicalities of interacting socially" Sally states. She smiles wryly as she adds, "Ive always been socially inept". "I have had few friends because I havent known where to begin to start making them" she adds. "My self esteem was dangerously low back then and my lack of friends was only feeding into this" she recounts.
Chatting
Sally then started chatting online. "I found that I could practice certain skills in a very non-threatening environment. I honed my conversational skills, engaged in light conversation, and most of all realised that I am a likeable person. I gained the courage to start using some of the skills I had learnt in real-life settings". She adds "I still chat online and I have formed some meaningful Internet friendships. My social functioning and my self esteem have improved a lot".
Sallys account represents a success story in support of one side of a very controversial argument. A debate is raging at the moment among health care professionals as to the effects of technology, and the Internet in particular, on our psychological wellbeing. Many people who experience severe anxiety in public may feel quite comfortable expressing themselves in cyberspace.
Stepping stone to real world interaction or place to hide?
Both, says Rick Heimberg Ph.D., director of the Social Anxiety disorder programme at Temple University. Heimberg states that online interaction can be positive if it encourages a socially phobic person to become more extroverted in real-world settings. In contrast, however, it can be negative if excessive time on the Internet replaces face-to-face contact, he says.
Sherry Turkle, a Clinical Psychologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, extols the virtues of using the internet to "draw-out" socially phobic people. She states that "people use the Internet to put one toe in the water and try out social contacts with which they are less comfortable in the ".
Dangers
Dr Marcia Slattery, a psychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic highlights the potential dangers involved. She states that "some people I have seen clinically, have become for lack of a better word - with staying online". She warns against allowing the Internet to become ones social network in and of itself, to the neglect of real-time relationships.
She adds "It is best to allow yourself to reap the benefits of having a social connection on the net and then generalise the experience in person-to-person contact".
The issue is a controversial one, and it seems to depend not on the technology itself, but on how this technology is utilised. The professionals differ in their relative enthusiasm for the Internet as a therapeutic tool, but they do unanimously agree on one thing, it seems.
That one thing is that chatting on the Internet needs to be kept in perspective and must not be allowed to eclipse face-to-face interactions. When asked for some useful advice, Sally offered this: "The Internet can be a wonderful and a terrible thing, depending on how you use it. Chatting can be great in bolstering your confidence, and in learning social skills, but these things are only valuable in so far as you incorporate them into your real life".

Action in the stomach.

The action of alcohol on the stomach is extremely dangerous if it becomes unable to produce the natural digestive fluid in sufficient quantity to absorb and not be able to digest the food properly. A condition characterized by feelings of nausea emptiness, prostration and distention will always be faced by an alcoholic. This results in an aversion to food and makes a mockery more cravings to drink. Therefore, there was a permanent disorder which is called dyspepsia. The disastrous forms of confirmed indigestion originate by this practice.

Anxiety disorders are varied and include things like social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias. Millions of people around the world are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder during their lifetimes, and so many are looking for answers as to what has caused this medical condition, which can be quite serious. The title here may be misleading, because there really is no one cause of anxiety disorders. You may have an anxiety disorder for any number of reasons, or a combination of reasons. In order to learn more about your condition and try to pin point its cause, here are a few of the things that play into the development of an anxiety disorder.

First and foremost, many people want to know if anxiety disorders are genetic and can be passed on to future generations. Studies show that this may be the case. If a parent has an anxiety disorder, there is a chance that you may get this disorder as well. However, family factors may play a role in this as well. When you are raised in a household in which someone has an anxiety disorder, you are essentially taught these panic behaviors as well. Phobias are especially common to be passed to other family members. Insure relationships with parents may also cause anxiety disorders later in life. In short, this may be partially due to genetics, but also has something to do with your childhood environment as well.

Other environmental experiences outside of your childhood living conditions play into the development for anxiety disorders as well. If you have a traumatizing event as a child, or even as an adult, that even could either stay with you, causing post-traumatic stress disorder, or could affect your thinking, causing other types of anxiety disorders. Social pressures and culture may play a role in this as well, teaching people to become anxious at certain times or fearful of certain things.

An anxiety disorder may also be the result of health factors not related to genetics. Phobias and other anxiety disorders sometimes develop due to a chemical imbalance in the brain, especially with the chemical serotonin, which also affects depression in some people. Evolution comes into play, because you automatically have a fight-or-flight system built into our brains. The foods we eat, amount we exercise, and sleep we get every night all play roles into how our brain functions.

Lastly, anxiety disorders may develop due to stress. When you are stressed about something, you may find that you slow start to wear out. While our bodies are built to handle certain amounts of stress, over time, this simply breaks down and we give in to anxiety, which can develop into an anxiety disorder. No matter what the reason, however, it is simply important that you ask for help dealing with your condition.

With so many problems and a lot of difficulties lying ahead, its no wonder that people are starting to become more and more susceptible to what is known as an anxiety disorder.  Normally anxiety is seen as a negative emotion, but when taken positively it sharpens the minds focus, makes us more alert, and would even motivate us to solve the problem immediately.  But when things go out of hand and the anxiety is to overwhelming, then the person must be able to consult his or her psychiatrist in treating anxiety attacks.
There are different kinds of panic disorders as mentioned before, some being of a mild nature while others are detrimental and take a long period of time to cure and prevent.  The most common anxiety disorders so far include:
# General panic disorder
# Obsessive compulsive disorder
# Social anxiety disorder
# Phobia
# Post-traumatic stress disorder
# Panic disorders triggered by frequent panic attacks
If a person experienced episodes of overwhelming anxiety and stress, then he or she might be experiencing a panic attack.  A panic attack can be identified immediately through physical symptoms and signs such as:
# Hyperventilation
# Heart palpitations, tightening of the best
# Nausea and stomach cramps
# Dizziness, feeling of passing out
# Trembling and shaking of the body
# Feelings of losing self-control due to anxiety
Once you begin your anxiety treatment sessions, your psychiatrist will tell you that you have to undergo what is known as behavioral therapy.  There are two main kinds of behavioral therapy, which are:
# Exposure behavioral therapy – being exposed repeatedly to the causes of fear and panic in order to regain self-control and overcome them
# Cognitive behavioral therapy – focuses on the thoughts and behaviors of the patient to be able to identify the causes of anxiety and how to challenge them.
The second stage is taking anxiety medication, which is of course prescribed by your psychiatrist in order to relieve the symptoms of panic attacks and to keep the disorder under control.  The choice of medicine would depend on how severe it really is.  Mild panic disorders such as phobias and social anxiety do not need constant medication and can be cured in just a short period of time as compared to post-traumatic stress and panic attack disorders.
The combination of the two options cannot ensure the cure and prevention of panic disorders, which is why researchers and psychiatrists of today encourage patients to engage in recreational activities that they are very much interested in.  They could go for relaxation techniques, physical exercises every morning, or a hobby or passion they have long forgotten.  Any of these, depending on what the patient is interested in, can be a good option in dealing with anxiety attacks.

Cows milk is one of the most usual allergy-causing foods in kids, and its the leading cause of allergic reactions in quite young kids. Milk allergy touches something like 2 percent to 3 percent of toddlers worldwide, and its symptoms and signs may be important enough to cause suffering not solely for an allergic kid, but also for the childs family. However the fine news is that the largest part kids grow out of the milk allergy by the age 2 or 3.
Allergic reactions ordinarily happen a couple of minutes to a few hours after you eat/dring milk
- but every so often it can be days before symptoms and sign show. Signs and symptoms range from mild to dangerous and may consist of wheezing, vomiting, hives and digestive problems. Very rarely, milk allergy can cause anaphylaxis - a severe, life-threatening reaction.
Milk Allergy Symptoms
Three types of milk connected allergy symptoms have been well-known:
1. Symptoms start swiftly subsequent to eating/drinking cows milk. Responses largely affect the skin, causing hives and/or eczema.
2. Symptoms start several hours after eating/drinking cows milk. Symptoms of this type are mainly diarrhea and vomiting.
3. Symptoms start more than twenty hours after eating/drinking. The central symptom for this type is diarrhea.
Symptoms of milk allergy can affect the skin, causing rashes or hives; the digestive tract, causing bloating and diarrhea, and the respiratory system, causing runny nose and asthma.
Here is a more full list of symptoms:
vomiting
hyperactive behavior
diarrhea
asthma
hives
runny nose
rashes
stuffy nose
ear infections
bloating
watery eyes
eczema
allergic shiners (black around the eyes)
recurrent bronchitis
failure to thrive
The above symptoms are not restricted to people with milk allergy. As you get to know food allergy symptoms, you probably observe that quite a few foods share a variety of common symptoms, such as: bloating, rash, and runny nose.
What is the Difference of Milk allergy and Milk Intolerance?
It is critical to differentiate a true milk allergy from milk protein intolerance or lactose intolerance. Unlike a milk allergy, intolerance doesnt implicate the immune system. Milk intolerance causes different symptoms and necessitate dissimilar treatment than does a true milk allergy. Ordinary signs and symptoms of milk protein intolerance or lactose intolerance include digestive problems, such as bloating, gas or diarrhea, after consuming milk.
Milk Allergy Prevention and Cure
The only way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid milk and milk proteins altogether. This can be easier said than done, as milk is a widespread food ingredient.
Despite your best efforts, you or your child may still come into contact with milk. Medications, such as antihistamines, may reduce signs and symptoms of a milk allergy. These drugs can be taken after exposure to milk to control an allergic reaction and help relieve discomfort.
If you or your child has a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), you may need an emergency injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) and a trip to the emergency room.

Do you experience intense fear during social interactions, or avoid speaking in class or dining with co workers, or do you tremble and sweat at the thought of attending a party? If so you may be suffering from social anxiety disorder or social phobia, which is an experience of fear, apprehension, or worries regarding social situations that can make you feel trapped and very uncomfortable. If your anxiety about social situations is so severe that it disrupts your daily life and relationships to the point where you are sick with worry, it’s time to get professional help. People who suffer from this disorder vary in how often they experience anxiety, which is common in situations where they are to be evaluated by others, such as during public speaking engagements, performances, or interviews. However, not all cases deal with the fear of being judged negatively, social phobia can also be related to shyness causing physiological symptoms like sweating and blushing, which is why many patients simply avoid social interaction.

There are three common kinds of anxiety disorders. Learning about these three disorders can help you to understand your anxiety and help you find out what is triggering your symptoms.
Not only will this information help you to indentify the factors which trigger your anxiety, but this can also assist you in determining which type of anxiety disorder you suffer from. Knowing what you?re up against is an important step towards recovery ? the treatments may differ depending on the specific disorder you have. Once you start receiving treatment, you can begin living your life again.
What are the three major anxiety disorders and what differentiates them from each other?
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) - Theres nothing inherently unusual about experiencing anxiety from time to time, but generalized anxiety disorder is when you suffer from anxiety at nearly every turn. If you find that every situation, location and time causes you anxiety, this is likely to be the problem you face.
When youre worrying about everything to the point that youre unable to have normal social interactions with other people and your anxiety begins to take over your life, then this is a likely indicator of GAD. Only an accredited mental health professional can make an accurate diagnosis of this disorder, but if your symptoms seem to match those of this type of anxiety disorder, than you should strongly consider seeking treatment before your symptoms become more severe.
Panic disorder - These are the best known of the three common types of anxiety disorder. Panic disorders, as the name suggests are a series of panic attacks, generally severe and frequent. One of the most crippling effects of panic disorders is that the sufferer may experience worry and fear about the panic attacks which is more disabling than the attacks are themselves.
In fact, these people suffer from panic attacks which are so intense that they will go to great lengths to keep from having a recurrence. There is some confusion between panic attacks and agoraphobia (fear of public places). These are two different disorders, although it is possible to suffer from both concurrently.
Social anxiety disorder - With social anxiety disorder the same things that give most people pause, a moment of concern, a bit of stage fright, or self consciousness are greatly exaggerated and can be very traumatic. In other words, the things that trigger minor reactions in most people can set off a major ordeal for those who suffer with social anxiety disorder. In some cases, people will rearrange their lives in order to avoid the things that make them feel so self conscious.
Some of the symptoms of social anxiety disorder include a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, profuse sweating and nausea. These symptoms can spiral out of control in some settings, becoming panic attacks.
If any of the symptoms of these three types of anxiety disorder are familiar to you it may be time to seek treatment for your condition. There is help out there which can let you live your life without fear being in the drivers seat. From therapy to herbal medicine to modern pharmaceuticals, there are treatments which can give you your life back again.

If any one out there has been treated for this disorder can you please fill me up on the treatment. I believe I have this disorder and will seek help to overcome it since its really interfering with my life. What was the cost? and also did any one try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Please let me know how you been doing.

Yes, I tried Cognitive Behavior Therapy and it DOES work. I am not completely over my anxiety, but the negative thoughts that consumed my mind have dimished. I think more postively now. I am in therapy at my school now and I wanna try group therapy soon. If you are in college then I highly suggest you look up info about their counseling center and go in and make an appointment. The therapy costs are included into my tuition, so I dont pay anything! As for the Cognitive Therapy, I did that all on my own. I listened to a 20 step audio series by a gur named Dr. Richards. He had anxiety for 20 years, so he knows what he is talking about. Look up Overcoming Social Anxiety Step-by-Step on www.demonoid.com. Download it and notice that it comes with a workbook too that you will need to read DAILY! That is very important.

I honestly think that I can stop my anxiety by not obsessing over it. I think that when I go to websites and try to look for cures it only makes it worse. Trying to find a way to beat it makes it worse. If I just let it go, will it stop? And how would I go about doing this? Medication is shit, by the way. It doesnt solve anything, it just helps with some symptoms.

well I think it just depends on how bad your anxiety is, I have been diagnosed with a anxiety disorder since I was about 17 and I could never do it without my medication I have taken ativan 2mg tid which means 3 times a day and Ive been on that for what 20 yrs now and it is something I feel like I have to take, if I had diabetes or high blood pressure I would take medicine for that, I was so bad that when they came on I would be paralyzed with fear just ruining my life I couldnt live and I just had terrible panic attacks so I take my medication as prescribed I dont misuse it but Ive tried to go off and it just didnt work so I dont think its so terrible taking medication now there are doctors who do love to over medicate and I think going to therapy and doing other things with the medication is why its helped me so much a pill all by itself isnt the best answer, it would be the same as if I had bad cholesterol took a pill but didnt change my diet ya know? So you have to do whats right for you, only you can make that decision, but pills arent terrible things when used correctly, they saved my life actually, so good luck and you can talk to me anytime you want ok.

I am going to try not to write a book..
I have a 12 year old son, after many battles of not medicating we are now using meds. It works a little, however he is so moody and up and down. Has anyone been on an adhd med and on an anxiety med? If so, did it work?
Please no comments on the way - i have been down this road for 10 years and it didnt work.

Please don’t put your children on Adderall, I’m 19 and i’ve been treated with psychostimulant since I was 7 years of age. Not only do amphetamine based medications have a much higher abuse rate and more adverse side effects, in my opinion they do not work as well compared to the Methylphenidate medications.
Ritalin is a much safer treatment to start on, not the slow release of course.
This is coming from a person who has been treated with every pill known to man, I graduated in the top 5% out of 190 students in my year level. My father also grew up with ADHD.
All behavioural medication will cause mood swings. The coming down usually starts with feelings of irritability, very abrupt when asked a question, short tempered and almost no tolerance when something annoys them. This can take 30 or more minutes to pass.
Towards the end of the coming down, there is a brief period of withdrawal, they may appear very gloomy, best to just leave them alone until it passes. Then you are back to the hypo kid.
Tell me if I’m wrong about the coming down, I’m trying to remember from my childhood, there are slight variations in the different meds.
Now, the ride up, from when you first give them the tablets. Feel free to question my next statement, its rather hard to try and describe what its like at that age.
Behavioural meds are meant to calm your kids down, right?
The meds raise awareness, give the ability to maintain high levels of focus, and maintain a level of concentration by lowering impulsiveness. If I’m relaxing in front of the television and i take my medication, i am filled with an urge to do something, you feel compelled, motivated, all of a sudden your senses have just exploded into a state of optimal focus, from nothing.
What would a boy of 12 do with every single nerve impulse in his brain firing away, in a state intended for learning or performing tasks that demand absolute focus.
His brain is all fired up, with nothing to do.
It’s hard to get a picture across, or a description in any sense of what this feels like at his age.
Everything in his body is set to go, he has never felt this sensation, and more importantly what does he do with a mind stuck in overload for 2 hours?
What I’m trying to get at is, this “Anxiety” is the medication.
“why am I feeling like this, what am i suppose to do, what do i do”
He needs to learn how to use the medication, give him a purpose. Just letting him round around the house would confuse the crap out of him, scary? Ye.
If you are at all interested in showing your son how to use the medication just send me an e-mail, i could probably offer you some techniques to cut back on the stresses of dealing with ADHD kid.
