Solutions fo AD(H)D |

"Finally a normal
child again!" Parents of children
with AD(H)D may now come a step closer to
the fulfillment of his wish: There are new
diagnostics allowing a better detection of
the exact causes of AD(H)D and thus a better
and more individual treatment.
Approximately half a million children in
Germany are currently suffering from AD(H)D.
The attention deficit (hyperactivity)
disorder may cause considerable deductions
in the powers of concentration and
attention, impulse control disorders or
marked hyperactivity and restlessness.
Inparticular the children and the parents
suffer from the consequences, but also the
school and social environment (family and
friends): "My child has outbursts of rage up
to ecstasy." "Our child was suddenly unable
to recall prior knowledge."
According to the current level of knowledge,
AD(H)D is explained by an
abnormal brain metabolism where several
messenger substances (neurotransmitters) are
produced or dissimilated in the wrong
quantity or in an uncontrollable manner.
Up to now,
diagnosis often took place by means of
psychological questionnaires and IQ tests.
Current standard therapy consists of
psychiatric drugs. The power of
concentrations and integration is increased
through the common drugs - but partly at the
price of serious side effects.

New diagnostics for AD(H)D- for a better therapy |
AD(H)D actually is
an extremely complex phenomenon.
Recent observations show that the disorder
of the messenger balance may have varied
causes; genetic, psychosocial or organic.
Therefore, physicians and parents search for
new possibilities of better understanding
the causes of AD(H)D and of developing a
better therapy.
A new blood test, the nanopartic1e
analysis, is the first diagnosis
procedure that provides the attending
physician with a detailed insight into the
causes of AD(H)D.
For the first time, not only the
(genetic and psychosocial) causes of AD(H)D
known up to know may be determined, but also
organic disorders. Thanks to these new
diagnostics, the attending physician may
differentiate the causes for each child in
the individual case.
This increases the
chances that the ideal therapy will be
chosen for each child. Depending
on the fact whether AD(H)D is due to genetic
or psychosocial disorder, a metabolic
disorder, the condition of the intestine or
the immunologic processes in the body, the
physician will then be able to individually
take necessary measures.
