\u201cIf you mention the term \u2018ADHD\u2019 or \u2018Ritalin\u2019 at a dinner party, you are bound to provoke a lively debate. Try it. You would have much less fun with, say, diabetes and insulin, or asthma and inhalers.\u201d Dr B Belsham, Pediater<\/i><\/p>\n
Vir baie ouers is ADHD, in Afrikaans bekend as AGHS (aandagafleibaarheid-hiperaktiwiteitsindroom), \u2019n agterdogtige diagnose; vir sommige is dit \u2019n gier en ander bevraagteken die voorskryf van medikasie vir \u2019n toestand wat \u201cnie bestaan het\u201d toe hulle kinders was nie. Hoewel die geskiedenis nie die laaste aantyging met \u2019n naam van \u2019n diagnose kan regverdig nie, is die konsep van hiperaktiwiteit reeds in die 18de eeu in die mediese literatuur beskryf.<\/p>\n
Volgens die Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders <\/i>kan tussen drie groepe ADHD onderskei word. Eerstens word verwys na die gekombineerde tipe wanneer iemand oorheersend probleme ondervind met aandagafleibaarheid sowel as hiperaktiewe- impulsiewe gedrag. Tweedens kan iemand oorheersend met aandagafleibaarheid presenteer en derdens word na die oorheersend hiperaktiewe- impulsiewe gedrag verwys. <\/p>\n
Baie ouers neem aanvanklik oormatige beweging waar wanneer hul kind \u2019n kleuter is, tog is dit moeilik om merkers voor vierjarige ouderdom van die norm te onderskei. ADHD word meestal in die grondslagfase ge\u00efdentifiseer. In Graad RR en R is hiperaktiwiteit die prim\u00eare manifestasie. Aandagafleibaarheid word meer prominent in die grondslagfase. Gedurende adolessensie word die tekens van hiperaktiwiteit (soos hardloop en klim) minder en kan dit beperk word tot vroetel en \u2019n innerlike gevoel van rusteloosheid of ongeduld. Gedurende volwassenheid bly impulsiwiteit saam met aandagafleibaarheid en rusteloosheid problematies, selfs al het die hiperaktiwiteit afgeneem.<\/p>\n
Juis d\u00edt was die fokus van \u2019n praatjie van dr. Nicolaas de Villiers (pediater) op 29 Augustus by Langerugskool; ook die aanwesigheid van ADHD by ouers van kinders met ADHD en hoe dit die behandeling van hierdie toestand be\u00efnvloed. <\/p>\n
Farmakologiese medikasie, terapie, gedragsmodifikasie- en ouerleidingsprogramme, asook \u2019n gesonde dieet en oefening word vir die behandeling van ADHD aanbeveel. Dit is belangrik om elke aspek van hierdie intervensie in die behandelingspakket van ADHD in te sluit, aangesien medikasie nie hierdie toestand kan genees nie, maar slegs sleutelsimptome soos onoplettendheid, hiperaktiwiteit en impulsiwiteit kan verbeter. <\/p>\n
Dr. de Villiers het verduidelik hoe moeilik dit vir \u2019n ouer is om sy \/ haar kind se ADHD te bestuur wanneer hulle self uitdagings ten opsigte van hierdie diagnose beleef. Soms is ouers selfs onbewus van hul eie diagnose. Ouers van kinders met ADHD word daarom aangemoedig om met \u2019n geneesheer te gesels indien hulle in hierdie afdeling val. Dit is belangrik dat die ouer ook behandeling ontvang om hom of haar te help ten einde hul kind optimaal te kan ondersteun. <\/p>\n
Erick Strydom (onderwyser) het tydens dr. De Villiers se praatjie vertel van sy eie pad met ADHD en beaam hoe belangrik \u2019n holistiese benadering tot behandeling is. ADHD is \u2019n inderdaad \u2019n onderwerp wat ouers in hewige debatte kan wikkel. Erick kan egter ook getuig dat kinders \u00e9n volwassenes met hierdie toestand die lewe inkleur met kreatiewe denke en hope energie wat die w\u00eareld \u2019n opwindende en interessante plek maak. <\/p>\n
ADHD-maand word in Oktober gevier en ons het ekstra waardering vir die bydrae van mense met ADHD tot die samelewing.\u2022 Dr Susan du Toit is die opvoedkundige sielkundige by Langerugskool<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
