As part of the commemoration of the psychologist's day, a day of lectures and workshops was prepared for the psychology students. Beginning with a lecture by Monica Marin, Surgeon graduated from the UNAM, the students learned how to make a deep analysis of the attention deficit disorder.
Based on the fact that it is a condition linked to hyperactivity and impulsivity that cannot be cured but can be controlled, it has been related to children directly to distraction, however it has nothing to do with intelligence. As a curious fact, being children who do not measure risk situations, they are more prone to accidents and injuries; and therefore have a higher pain threshold.
Throughout her lecture, the speaker provided various statistics, such as the one that states that 75% of the cases of ADD that are treated remain until adulthood; however, once the patients have been discharged, although the disorder remains, they themselves recognize the symptoms that produce it. Or the fact that the disorder is much more common in men than in women, on a scale of 3 to 1. Besides being one of the most studied disorders, it is also hereditary, although there are prenatal factors such as the use of drugs or alcohol during pregnancy. Interestingly, it has been stipulated that 75% of people who consume harmful substances suffer from the disorder.
Likewise, the speaker admitted that the generations have advanced in a convincing way, since, in most cases, when people realize that something is wrong with their learning process, they themselves are the ones who request psychological treatment.
Generally, in many schools, children with attention deficits who are restless and impulsive are rejected. Part of the therapy that psychologists should provide is to tell moms that this has nothing to do with the education they have given their children, but that it is a learning problem and needs to be treated.
