Can Nicotine Help Improve Attention Deficit Disorder?

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Nicotine and ADHD

Research has shown a positive correlation with nicotine and improvements in a commonly occurring problem, attention deficit disorder. While it may seem counter-intuitive to prescribe a substance like nicotine for this disorder, it can actually help a lot. It is believed that nicotine works with acetylcholine nerve receptors in the brain causes these receptors to be stimulated. When stimulated, there is a positive effect on the behavior and the symptoms of attention deficit disorder. It has been an amazing finding. Clinical studies have even been conducted with children. Children are sometimes prescribed small pieces of a nicotine patch to wear so that the nicotine is slowly absorbed into their blood stream. Many parents have reported quick and excellent changes in the behavior of their children who suffer with ADHD. One down side of using nicotine for this disorder is that it is a highly addictive substance. Do we want to cause an addiction in a child just to gain relief of behavior symptoms? There is no easy answer to this issue. On the bright side, studying nicotine administration in patients with ADHD may help us in the development of more medications in the future that are highly effective.

Counseling to Combat Substance Abuse

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Combating Substance Abuse

Substance abuse is the abuse of illicit drugs and other legal substances, like alcohol, in excess. It is a serious disease that affects millions of people each year. Research suggests that at least 25% of deaths are caused both directly and indirectly to substance abuse. There are many ways to combat it including rehab, counseling, and medication. Most treatments are not used alone, but are used in conjunction. One such treatment is substance abuse counseling. This treatment consists of therapy sessions with a licensed practitioner to attempt to uncover the cause of the abuse and avoid future abuse. The counseling focuses on behavior modification and making good life choices. The sessions can be held one on one or in a group setting. Many counseling services use both approaches, since one therapy may not necessarily fit one person. One can find such therapies by referral from a healthcare practitioner, social worker, or rehab facility.   Learn to Combat substance abuse with proper information.

Does My Son Have Attention Deficit Disorder?

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Diagnosing if your son has ADHD

Does my son have attention deficit disorder? I know it is a legitimate and existent and documented condition, but really, he is seven. Are not all seven year olds hyper and unable to stay focused on something for more than a few minutes? His teacher is worried, but I talked to some of the other parents, and apparently the teacher has thought over half her students has ADD. I have tried familiarizing myself with it online. There is a wealth of knowledge about it but there is nothing that I feel like I can use to determine absolutely whether or not my son has it. It sounds like my teacher is paranoid, but what if there is something local in the community or environment that is actually giving all of these kids ADD? I hate not knowing, it drives me crazy. It is almost giving me ADD just thinking about it.

Progress Being Made in Treating Attention Deficit Disorder

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The Topic of Attention Deficit Disorder is a Serious One

For many years, the topic of attention deficit disorder has been a serious subject for a lot of families. It seems that in recent years there has been increased cases about children suffering from various levels of attention deficit disorders. This includes children ranging in ages from five to ten years old. In order to try and get a handle on this condition, doctors and researchers are trying to work on ways that will help to identify these symptoms earlier. One of the reasons this condition is receiving so much attention today is because back about thirty or forty years ago in the 1970’s and 80’s, most doctors did not know how to diagnose or recognize the signs and symptoms. During these earlier years, a lot of children were either untreated or they were placed in special homes. Fortunately over the years there has been a lot of progress made for this condition through years of testing and research

The article, “The State Of America’s Stress”, Source: Huffington Post states

“The study included examinations of stress at three specific points in time: 1983, 2006 and 2009. The researchers looked at all sorts of different demographic information, including gender, age, employment, race, education and income, to see if there were changes in stress among these groups over the 26-year period.”

Things Case Management Programs Need to Teach You.

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Good Case Management Programs

As a recent college graduate, I am really amazed at how much they do not teach you in school. I am a civil engineer and I have been at my first job for about three months. I have used very little of the complex math that I had to learn as an undergraduate and I feel like I wasted a lot of time and effort learning that stuff for nothing. My job has spent a lot of time and money teaching me things that I feel like I could have learned in school instead. It is not just me, either. Everyone else who the company hires right out of school has the same problem. This is not even something that is an engineer problem either. My friend is a new nurse and says she wishes her program would have taught her something about nursing case management because her job requires it.

Some case management programs just want to push you out the door.   Not AIHCP!  They allow you to take your time and study at your own pace.    A good online program will help you learn and advance when you are ready.   Insuring that you learn the material instead of just memorizing it.
