Understanding ADHD neurological research

6/16/2012

Many respond to the research in the article below as if it shows that biological deficits give rise to ADHD behavior. However, the findings only show a correlation between children who respond with ADHD behaviors and certain kinds of biological patterns. We might just as readily assume that doing ADHD behavior over time changes biological development just like what happens to muscle development when people don't exercise.   http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2011/02/studies_point_to_new_way_to_id.html

This is an interesting article about the current use of ADHD medication. Keep in mind, even if the medications are temporarily relieving school failure and other kinds of "suffering", there could be other ways to resolve those problems. Interventions that produce fewer side effects and better longer-term results. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47751459/ns/health-the_new_york_times/#.T9SmvNVfFgt
