ADHD VICTIMS LETS call it have different brain waves that can also be used for evidence of a diognosis of ADHD

Ok here is some reserch

ADHD Brain research has been based  on the general assumption that  something is wrong with people  diagnosed with the condition. Those  suffering from ADHD are often  characterized as having impaired  executive functioning of the frontal  lobe. In recent years, however, more  and more people are embracing the  possibility that ADHD could simply be

.a difference rather than a disorder  The challenges that people with ADHD  face should neither be  underestimated or denied. Changing  ,the way we look at the condition  however, can already help us assume  a healing mindset. Adopting a positive  attitude changes our energy and  consistently directs us towards more

.favorable outcomes -Left- and Right  Brain Thinking  Even though we don’t fully  comprehend the complexities of the  brain, we have come to accept that  each side of the brain has a unique  set of primary functions. Practically  everyone has one side of the brain  that is dominant; people with ADHD  tend to have right-brain dominance. If  you have ADHD, it should come as no  surprise that the right brain is  ,commonly associated with creativity -intuition and emotions. More on left

.and right brain functioning  Neurotransmitters  and the ADHD  Brain  ADHD symptoms have long been  associated with neurotransmitter  levels in the brain. Because these  chemicals influence behavior, learning  about neurotransmitter levels and  how to manage them is a good way to  motivate yourself into adopting  different lifestyle habits like eating  certain foods, meditating and having a  mindful attitude. What are  neurotransmitters and which of them

?are associated with ADHD  Novelty Seeking  Genes and Positive  Disintegration: Two  Sides of The Same  ?Coin  Genetic research reveals that  dopamine-regulating genes differ in  people with ADHD when compared to  non-ADHD individuals. The gene  associated with these dopamine  differences is referred to as the

”novelty-seeking gene“  People with this genetic structure tend  to be drawn to new, interesting or  exciting activities because of their  need for more stimulation – a strategy  designed to increase dopamine  production. Some people have linked   common  ADHD symptoms – like excitability and  excessive sensitivity to outside stimuli  are the exact characteristics –  required for individuals to achieve a  higher potential for developmental

.growth  Both of these conclusions appear to  support the same theory, namely that  there is an adaptive value to having  these characteristics – the ADHD brain  has a tendency to ‘think outside of the  box’ and consider the broader  perspective. This allows people with  ADHD to experience the world with

.heightened perception  The ADHD Brain  Waves: Outside of  the Box  The ADHD brain appears to lack  .normal’ levels of beta brain waves‘  These brainwaves are associated with  waking states or normal, alert  consciousness. People with Attention  Deficit Disorder tend to have higher  amounts of alpha and theta brain  wave activity. Whereas non-ADHD  individuals experience an increase in  ,beta brain waves while concentrating  for example, people with ADHD

.experience an increase in theta waves  This difference in the ADHD brain  results in the opposite effect, since  theta waves are linked to the  daydream state. Are there benefits to  being in this ADHD brain state? If you  have ADHD, familiarizing yourself with  these different states of  consciousness will help you  understand why you behave, think

.and feel the way you do  Here’s a short description of the  different brain-wave types and their  effect (these do not include delta  waves associated with deep sleep and -gamma waves associated with super :)learning
