Potential Causes of the ADD Symptoms

What causes these ADD / ADHD behavioral symptoms? Why is it that some people have them temporarily and in others they persist over time? Is it possible that the symptoms are caused by different life events which need to be treated differently? My attempt to answer these questions follows.

The symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADD / ADHD) are generated by the perception that the mind is out of control. This out of control mind can be initially caused by any one or any combination of the following:

1. High stress and anxiety.

2. Emotional trauma--past or present.

3. Candida Albicans.

4. Attitude--which can be boredom, or not being turned on to certain activities such as chores or schoolwork, or not knowing HOW to do the required tasks.

5. Communication gaps between the child and parents/teachers.

6. Physical reaction--to large amounts of sugar, junk food, allergies or toxins (usually food).

Factor 3 can be helped by going to a good health food store or to a physician who is knowledgeable about Candida. Books such as "The Yeast Syndrome" or "The Yeast Connection" can also help. Professionals such as Allergists, Dieticians, Physicians, and Psychologists are equipped to handle factors 1, 2 and 6. Factors 4 and 5 are covered in parts of the book "Rediscover the Joy of Learning" by Dr. Blackerby

Also, the perception or belief that the mind is out of control can be dealt with and is covered in the book "Rediscover the Joy of Learning".
