Scientists talked about the mechanisms of the brain in cases of attention deficit

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition in which it is difficult for a person to maintain attention, control impulsivity and regulate their activity level. Such people are often called inattentive and lazy, and they, in turn, feel misunderstood. This was reported on December 6 by the BBC Russian Service

According to the material, the key feature of ADHD is not the lack of attention, but the inability to control it. It is indicated that attention becomes unstable: thoughts change faster than a person manages to organize them. This creates a state of internal overload and a feeling of "chaotic flow", making it difficult to complete even simple tasks.

It is noted that difficulties in organizing actions are associated with a violation of the sequence of cognitive processes. A person is faced with a fragmented perception of tasks: events, meetings and everyday steps do not line up in a single logical chain. This leads to forgetfulness, skipping scheduled events, and the inability to keep priorities in check.

The authors emphasized that people with ADHD have faster reactions of frustration and self-criticism, which increases feelings of guilt and reduces the level of self-acceptance. Emotional outbursts are the result of difficulties in self-regulation, not a character trait.

In addition, constant silence about their difficulties and the desire to meet social expectations lead to the accumulation of internal tension. This creates a feeling of chronic overload and isolation, despite external activity and social involvement.

The article concluded that ADHD is a feature of cognitive regulation that requires an adaptive approach, competent interaction and recognition of the specific workings of the psyche.

Earlier, on June 1, Konstantin Krutovsky, a geneticist and professor at the Siberian Federal University and the University of Göttingen, reported that early walking may be a sign of ADHD in children. According to him, a child who takes his first step at the end of the so-called normal period (between the ages of eight and 18 months) is less likely to develop attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The specialist emphasized that children who start walking later have better developed brain areas responsible for coordination and sensorimotor processing.
