...1. The essay idea I currently have is around ADHD, I haven’t determined yet if the focus will be on ADHD in general, focused on children only or focused on ADHD in adults. I plan to address the perception that people have around stating ADHD isn’t really an illness. I am going for a persuasive rhetorical strategy addressing what ADHD is, explaining what someone feels like when they have ADHD and are not armed with tools to help, such as medication and the benefits gained when someone with ADHD has these tools available to them. 2. The reading I felt offered some ideas was Stephen King, Why We Crave Horror Movies. While I am not personally a horror movie watcher, I like how Stephen King used his thoughts on what he felt drove people to...

...Is it Anxiety or ADHD? Are you feeling anxious or sad? Were you diagnosed with anxiety disorder or depression? Many people are seeking help for symptoms such as, sadness, restlessness, mood changes, low energy, insomnia, trouble waking, emotional, forgetful, and even job or relationship problems. The above symptoms can be caused by many psychiatric disorders. Many physicians are diagnosing these people with depression or anxiety and throwing them anti-depressants and sending them on their way. What if the medication does not work? I want to make sure nobody goes years and years like I did trying every anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication out there with no relief. They may very well have those disorders, but is there an underlying cause? What if the root cause is ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)? My essay is on ADHD and how it is being overlooked and going undiagnosed/misdiagnosed in most adults. I am also exploring the questions, is it Anxiety or ADHD? What came first? The ADHD or the Anxiety? Did the ADHD cause the other disorders? What can be done to inform people about ADHD and that it is not just a childhood disorder? The sources I chose to do my research were from ADHD websites that do lots of research on the subject and also from a very informative booklet from an ADHD class my psychologist took. There was so much great information from these sources that it was very difficult for me to choose what to include in this essay. I gathered lots of facts...

...ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a very complex condition that generates a great deal of debate. The debate surrounding this disorder is intense. Debates encompass issues such as, what causes it, how to assess ADHD, and how to deal with it effectively. This essay deals with some of the debates in an attempt to simplify the issues. The first question that needs to be answered is what is ADHD? It is behavioural problems revolving around three main symptoms. One main symptom that an ADHD person displays is the inability to keep their attention focused on something. They are easily distracted, forget instructions and have a poor short term memory. The second main symptom prevalent among those with ADHD is their impulsiveness. They act or shout out inappropriately. They have a short fuse which can lead to temper tantrums. The third main symptom is that those with ADHD are hyperactive. They are unable to sit still and are often restless and fidgety. These factors usually cause problems within the sufferer’s families. ADHD symptoms also cause problems for the sufferer in educational settings, (for children) and in occupational settings, (for adults). There are three subtypes to ADHD. The first subtype is someone who is both hyperactive and impulsive. The second subtype is one who is inattentive only. For example, studies show that at least 40% of people with ADHD have the “Inattentive Type” only. The third subtype is one who shows all of these symptoms combined...

...English 1010 ADHD: Amphetamines Don’t Help Disorders There are more drug users in elementary schools today then every before. Most of these users are children around the ages of seven to fourteen. The drugs they use are highly addictive Amphetamines, similar to cocaine. The worst part is these drugs are prescribed to them for behavioral problems in school. The stimulants these children are taking are for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Because these children do not behave the way schools have described as “normal”, they are drugged with harmful synthetic stimulants. Behavior traits in children can be changed by a proper diet, adequate sleep, and positive activities at home. The principle causes of ADHD are unknown. The attempt to classify it as a disease has failed. There are four categories of disease in the medical world: infectious, contagious, traumatic, and systemic. Infectious and contagious diseases have to do with germs so we can rule those out as classifications. Traumatic indicates an outside force such as head trauma or nervous system trauma so that is also ruled out. Systemic diseases happen when the cells or chemicals of the body begin to malfunction such as cancer. This is not correct for ADHD either and so it is not a disease (Stein 23-24). Doctors turn to other causes and classifications of this disorder including genetics. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often appears to run in families...

No parent ever hopes to raise a child with abnormalities or handicaps yet unfortunately, a percentage of babies born will have some form of a disability. Whether the condition a child has is of the mildest form requiring only supervision or is considered severe requiring lifelong care and medication, parents stress and have difficulties dealing with the everyday life their child goes through and deals with throughout his or her life wondering if they are doing all they can to make sure their child is well taken care of. This essay will examine the effects of ADD, ADHD and autism focusing on adolescents and children with these impairments and the parents and caregivers who struggle to maintain a daily balanced life. As a mother with a son who has ADHD I can speak first hand on the struggles a parent has to face and the challenges we deal with raising a child. My son was diagnosed shortly after he began kindergarten when he first started displaying signs of anxiousness during class time and how his teacher would struggle to keep him under control. His dad and I were called in to a parent-teacher conference to discuss my son’s behavior during class. It was recommended by the teacher that we have our son evaluated for ADHD as that was what she believed he had. We made an appointment with our...

...Rhetorical analysis is the ability to read an article and determine whether it was written to persuade, inform or entertain an audience and sometimes they were written to do all three. Sometimes essays and articles are written in response to another article. Usually a popular text is written based off of an academic text and sometimes the transition from academic to popular text can cause the information that is in the academic text to be miscommunicated. However, this is not the case in Alan Schwarz’s article that was published in the New York Times titled, “Thousands of Toddlers Are Medicated for A.D.H.D., Report Finds, Raising Worries” which reports on a study done by Susanna N. Visser and it was published through the Center For Disease Control. Although they are both two very different types of writing they both include the same information regarding the amount of kids that are diagnosed and medicated for A.D.H. In Schwarz’s article he is able to summarize the academic article as well as provide his own insight, analysis and criticism about the issue. Schwarz is able to do so by summarizing information in the academic article and “dumb down” the scientific jargon in the CDC report therefore making it easier for a vast audience to comprehend and be interested in the article. According to Martin Robbins article, “Why I spoofed Scientific Journalism, and How to Fix It,” regarding the issue of scientific journalism he states that one of the hardest things to do is do more than...

...October 28, 2013 Argumentative Essay ADHD and Medicine for Children When you think of zombies what do you imagine? Do you imagine green, bloody, brain-eating monsters or small, skinny, sleep deprived children? In many cases this is what ADHD medicine turns many children into – zombie-like creatures. Stephanie’s daughter, Hannah, had always been a handful. Even as a preschooler, she would tear through the house like a tornado, shouting, roughhousing, and climbing on the furniture. Nothing seemed to have Hannah’s attention for very long. She would run away in the grocery store or in the mall. It was a full-time job parenting Hannah. Stephanie thought that her little girl was a normal child that got overly excited sometimes. Hannah’s second grade teacher began to notice how hard it was for her to calm Hannah down when she got too excited in class, so she talked to Stephanie about Hannah’s inattentiveness and disruptive behavior. “It was a struggle to get her to do simple tasks such as, homework, coloring, and brushing her teeth. She was so energetic and hyper all of the time. She couldn’t stay focused on anything for long. She would get annoyed and move on to the next thing that caught her attention,” Stephanie says. Her concerns lead her to Hannah’s pediatrician who recommended an evaluation for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects an estimated eight to ten percent of school-age children. Boys are about three times...

Word count: 3918 Table of contents: Abstract………………………………………………………………...2 Introduction………………………………………………………….....3 ADD/ADHD symptoms………………………………………………..3 Current treatment and its issues………………………………………..5 Neurofeedback: an alternative approach to managing ADD/ADHD….6 Studies with neurofeedback……………………………………………7 Conclusion…………………………………………………………….11 Abstract The aim of this essay is to present and evaluate the positive sides and implications of using neurofeedback as a treatment for ADD/ADHD and to compare these with current methods of treatment. In order to do that, firstly, the main symptoms and characteristics of this disorder were named. The main ones include: attention deficit, impulsivity, turmoil and hyperactivity as an optional one. Today, the only accepted method for threatening ADD/ADHD is by using medications. It is assumed that certain medications such as Ritalin, Concerta, Methylin, Dexedrine and Adderall improve the efficiency of chemical transmitters which have the role of passing the information through brain. But, there are also some side effects of using medications. A summary of relevant studies on relatively new, alternative method- neurofeedback is provided. The results were similar to treatment with medications. The difference is that neurofeedback provided longer...

...EDUC 2301 11-21-10 Book Club Essay Classroom Success for the LD and ADHD Child, written by Suzanne H. Stevens, is a fantastic book that targets the needs of children with learning disabilities in today’s classrooms. She describes how students who are not doing well in school, might be labeled as lazy, careless, or spoiled in regards to their attitudes towards school, when in fact this might not be the case at all. The simple fact is these students need additional help in their studies. She outlines how it’s hard to find a balance between a student being lazy, and one that truly needs help, i.e. learning disability. She describes the classroom setting for special needs children through the 1980’s leading up to today. There is a vast difference between the attention LD and ADHD children are receiving today, as compared to the early 80’s. As research and technology has improved, so has our ability to help and recognize the needs of our children in today’s classroom. She discusses the need for teachers to be open-minded and develop a new way of thinking. She states, “Teachers have to develop a whole new arsenal of techniques for solving student’s problems.” The author gave many examples of teachers who were “ignorant” to the fact that they were hurting “these kids,” instead of helping them succeed. She gave examples of teachers who would hold to a “One Size Fits All” teaching mentality and how that was not always successful for all students. In teachers defense she cites...
