Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

ADHD Explained

By Anne Durrell

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a behavioral disorder. It can cause impulsive actions, hyperactivity and the inability to focus or concentrate.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can affect both adults and children. To find out what is ADHD, you have to understand the symptoms, and the affects as well as the way it is treated.

The Warning Signs

ADHD symptoms can be confusing because many of the symptoms are simply natural behaviors that children exhibit in childhood. The difference between ADHD symptoms and natural behavior, though, is that in a child with ADHD the behaviors are displayed frequently and on a regular basis.

Another complication about recognizing ADHD symptoms is that they can vary greatly. Not only will they vary from person to person, but also one person may have varied symptoms over the course of time.

Here are the most common warning signs of ADHD:

* Twitching

* Too much talking

* Problem communicating thoughts

* Inappropriate behavior

* Extreme energy

* Problem with concentration

The Outcome

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can greatly affect the patient's life. For kids it can cause bad grades as well as discipline problems in school, and it can cause disruption in families.

In adults, ADHD can cause problems with work and family life. A person with ADHD can make careless mistakes, may not complete tasks and lack organizational skills.

Treatment

Handling of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder usually involves prescription. One thing that is most used by doctors to treat a person with ADHD is stimulants. The stimulants can cause a reverse affect in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and help calm them down.

Therapy is also used to help the patient and their family learns to deal with symptoms and learn what is ADHD.

As you can see it can be difficult to say exactly what is ADHD. However, for those suffering from it or those who have a loved with it, ADHD can cause many issues and is very real.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the disorder, but through constant study and research more and more is being discovered every day.
