More and More ADHD: How to Know If You Have It and What to Do About It
THEY USED to be considered naughty, lazy, undisciplined, or even stupid children. Today, people think they consume too much sugar and spend too much time staring at screens, says translator Ivana, who, like her preschool-aged son and her adult cousin, has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), a neurological disorder that affects brain development, attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity.
"My son has all the most common symptoms of ADHD in childhood, such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, poor attention, and poor emotional self-regulation, which in his age primarily manifests as poor frustration tolerance. He also has other symptoms, such as interrupting others in conversation and impatience. He can't wait for anything, like waiting in line for ice cream," explains Ivana.
Problems in Kindergarten and School
One of her son's problems is that he doesn't need daytime naps, so he can't stay calm and quiet while other children sleep in kindergarten.
"Unfortunately, the organization in the kindergarten is such that the assistant, whom he received a few months ago, is only with him part of the time while the other children sleep. So, part of the time, he has to lie down and stay still, which is very difficult for him, practically impossible. He would constantly jump and climb on the furniture," says Ivana.
Children with ADHD in school age continue to have similar problems.
"But by then, poor attention and concentration additionally cause problems in acquiring knowledge, so they achieve lower academic success than they could, given their intelligence and other abilities," adds our interlocutor.
Symptoms in Adults
ADHD is most often and most clearly recognized in children, but it is not exclusive to them. Ivana has most of the symptoms of ADHD in adulthood.
"By adulthood, hyperactivity usually disappears. Adults with ADHD don't constantly run or climb on furniture, but psychomotor restlessness remains. We who have it can't sit still for long; we constantly need to get up and move away from the table, and physical hyperactivity usually turns into mental hyperactivity. We can't stop thinking; thoughts just keep coming one after another, without any order.
Poor attention, distractibility, and poor emotional self-regulation remain. Luckily, I am very curious and have an above-average IQ, so I wasn't a bad student in school. When it came to choosing a university, I had the freedom to choose what interested me, which helped me a lot because people with ADHD can more easily maintain attention on topics that interest them.
Poor emotional regulation and poor handling of stress cause problems in relationships. I learned to control my emotions so that I don't show their intensity outwardly, but this exhausts me and has caused psychosomatic illnesses, such as reflux esophagitis, chronic gastritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Due to poor concentration, I am less efficient; it takes me longer to complete tasks than it would for a neurotypical person. Because of constant mental activity, I sleep very poorly, which weakens my immune system and makes me highly susceptible to infections," says Ivana.
ADHD and Modern Technology
Today's children are in constant contact with technology – from mobile phones and tablets to computers and gaming consoles. All these devices create electromagnetic fields (EMFs) during their operation, which directly affect the child's brain and can further worsen ADHD symptoms. Studies show that excessive screen exposure can reduce children's ability to concentrate, contributing to the growing problem of attention deficits and hyperactivity.
Prolonged exposure to EMFs can cause additional stress on the brain, making it harder for a child with ADHD to calm down or focus on one task. Parents and experts are increasingly warning that the combination of excessive screen time and electromagnetic radiation may exacerbate ADHD symptoms, which presents a challenge in modern society where technology is omnipresent.
HSC Smart Protection Card – A Solution for Children's Protection
In this context, more and more parents are opting for solutions that reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields on children. One such solution is the HSC Smart Protection Card, an innovative card based on Tesla scalar technology. This card, placed on electronic devices, transforms harmful electromagnetic radiation into radiation that is positive for the human body, thereby reducing the negative impact of EMFs on the child's brain.
Many parents who have used the HSC card have noticed improvements in their children's behavior with ADHD, including better attention, reduced hyperactivity, and improved emotional stability. Children who previously had significant difficulty concentrating now show a greater ability to focus on school tasks, which their teachers also confirm.
According to user feedback, the HSC card can play a crucial role in reducing ADHD symptoms by lowering exposure to electromagnetic radiation, which has become an integral part of children's daily lives in the modern digital age.
Benefits of the HSC Card
HSC Smart Protection Card, when applied to a mobile phone, positively affects children and adults with ADHD, reducing hyperactivity and improving concentration. This innovative technology offers protection from electromagnetic radiation and helps maintain emotional stability. The HSC team is also planning to soon introduce a new product for all generations, which will be a revolutionary solution for improving health and well-being in everyday life, specifically aimed at minimizing the effects and symptoms of ADHD in children, young people, and adults - PROJECT: Syn(c)Energy
