What Are Dangers?

Every parent who has a child suffering from a psychological disorder that affects their behavior dreads a new school year. This means new teachers not aware of the disorder, more parent-teacher conferences, and more pressure to medicate the child. The most common and well known behavioral disorders are Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

When it comes to neurocognitive disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders, reaserchers have been able to diagnose symptoms of a variety of disorders pertaining to the brain and growth development. Once knowing what the symptoms are behaviors become noticed and there becomes a reason for certain behaviors in individuals allowing different treatments for these disorders..

Seven of the twelve girls had gotten the strep antibody vaccine, all the girls were on different stages and for six of the seven the occurrence of this “hysteria” was more than a year after their last injection. Five of seven were negative on a toxicology screen test and two positive for prescribed medication. “Some environmentalists, such as high-profile activist Erin Brockovich, have suggested that toxic substances may be responsible for the girls’ symptoms. In particular they have referred to a site some three-and-a-half miles away (outside the nearby village of Lime Rock) where, on December 6, 1970, a train derailment resulted in the spill of one ton of cyanide crystals (which were promptly removed) and 30,000 gallons of trichloro­ethene (TCE), which still contaminates the site (En­viron­mental Protection Agency

Research is continually being conducted everyday with this common disorder. Many parents main concerns is the use of medication to treat their child. Many doctors nowadays show the parents the current research of studies being done and their effectiveness as well as providing papers for families for their willingness to participate in ongoing studies to better help understand their childs disorder and the best way to treat it ( Görtz-dorten, Breuer, Hautmann, Rothenberger, Döpfner, 2011).

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD), the most common of the psychiatric disorders that appear in childhood, are often the subject of great concern on the

It is estimated that between 3 and 12 percent of the population has to deal with conditions known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). This equals approximately 3 million children in the United States alone. Both of these disorders (ADD and ADHD) exhibit the same traits leading them to be lumped together. Children affected by ADD or ADHD have behavior and emotional problems. Trouble concentrating on simple tasks, a short attention span, failing to give attention to details, and disruptive behavior are a few of the problems resulting from

I’d argue Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most well known mental health problem for children. It is estimated that 9% of children ages 3-17 have ADHD. Many students at an early age are in classes with students who have ADHD. Young children aren’t bothered by these fellow classmates, but teenagers with ADHD feel misunderstood. I do not have ADHD, so I decided to interview one of my friends who is diagnosed with ADHD to understand her perspective rather than learn from health website’s online. The interview was very eye opening for me and I hope it can be eye opening to you.

They also work as sensory perception, speech and emotion and memory. The amygdala works as processing the emotions and memories, while the hippocampus works to converse short-term memory to long-term memory. Due to these damaging effects of the brain can cause insignificant mental outcomes, with also the risk of mental disorders, as well as, antisocial behaviors. A Census report study showed that in 2012, 16.1 million children just in the United Sates lived in poverty. Some of the negative side effects to the brain placed on these children are due to stressful events placed on the child while they are growing into an older individual. A way of helping overcome these problems can be helped by providing supportive parents into the child’s life. The child should not be placed in a home with stressful life events while they are overcoming this process. Charles Nelson from the Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School explains deeply that sometimes the depression of the children could also send a high risk of the family stress as well. Nelson also states, “ If we wish to protect our children’s brains, we must work hard to protect their young

Most children in present society are rushed through the course of life, missing and blurring the lines of major milestones. They have been exposed to and experiencing too much of the wrong things. Parents and the general society are pushing this generation to becoming mini-adults that seem mature, but is not yet developed enough to actually be mature. As a result, the children become frustrated and stressed, leading to the development of disabilities and disorders. Parents and society needs to not only become aware of, but to also take charge of the mental condition of the next generation.

In our day and age, thousands of everyday things will pose great danger on individuals, families, animals, plants, and even whole species. Humans, of course, have largely identified and addressed common environmental dangers for hundreds of thousands years, proven simply by evolutionary feats. This is where the irony in human evolution is shown: we’ve spent years and years running from everything but ourselves. Our Stolen Future, Toxic Hot Seat, and Hormones Disrupted, three revolutionary new-age works based on scientific studies, depict the artificial dangers we face everyday. Though each source illustrates varied insight on these hazards in different ways -- synthetic chemicals in everyday objects, flame retardants in our homes, and bodily

“ADHD: we think more things before breakfast than most people think all day” (“We Think…, 2012). “Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of disorders in which the development of the central nervous system is disturbed. These disruptions can include developmental brain dysfunction, which can manifest as impaired motor function, impaired learning, impaired language or non-verbal communication” (“Neurodevelopmental disorders,” 2015). A specific type of neurodevelopmental disorder,

Neurodevelopmental disorders are weaknesses of the development and advancement of the cerebrum or focal sensory system. A smaller utilization of the term alludes to a turmoil of mind capacity that influences feeling, learning capacity, discretion and memory and that unfurls as the individual develops. The term is some of the time incorrectly utilized as an elite equivalent word for a mental imbalance and extreme introvertedness range issue.

Neurodevelopmental disorders are characterized by impairments of the growth and development of the central nervous system as they occur by origin, or during infancy and childhood, inhibiting functions that affect emotion, learning, self-control, motor skills, and memory. Specific disorders within this spectrum include but are not limited to, fetal alcohol syndrome, autism, Tourette syndrome, fragile-X syndrome, Down syndrome, ADHD, Mendelsohn’s syndrome, and schizophrenia. Neurodevelopmental disorders stem from many causes, ranging from chromosomal deficiency, genetic and metabolic diseases, immune disorders, infectious diseases, physical trauma, and nutritional, toxic, and environmental factors (Bale, et.al., 2010).

The Ohio River valley center chemical produced a non-stick coating known as Teflon using perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) that was used in cookware. During its production in the 80’s at the Washington, West Virginia Plant the acid caused severe water pollution. This resulted in health side effects such as kidney and testicular cancer, hypercholesterolemia, ulcerative colitis and thyroid disease. This same form of pollution occurred in DuPoint and resulted in the same health side effects. The study conducted analyzed the emotional impact of learning they had been exposed to a hazardous chemical.

Additional impairments have been noted. These include: anxiety, depression, short-term memory problems, and attention problems (Appleford School, 2008; Vasconcelos, 2009). As such, a variety of comorbid disorders have also been identified, such as ADHD, dyslexia, and Asperger’s syndrome. Due to the high prevalence of co-occurrence, some psychologists question
