ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, with estimates suggesting that up to 10% of children and 4% of adults are affected. It is characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can significantly impact an individual's academic, social, and occupational functioning.

Inattention symptoms may include difficulty sustaining attention, forgetfulness, disorganisation, and avoidance of tasks that require sustained effort. Hyperactivity symptoms may include fidgeting, restlessness, excessive talking, and difficulty engaging in quiet activities. Impulsivity symptoms may include interrupting others, blurting out answers, and acting without considering the consequences.

While the exact causes of ADHD are still unknown, research suggests that genetic and environmental factors may play a role. Neuroimaging studies have also shown that individuals with ADHD may have differences in brain structure and function compared to those without the disorder.

Often, treatment for ADHD involves a combination of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Medications such as stimulants can help to improve attention and reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity, although often people complain of their side effects, which include loss of appetite and weight loss, difficulties sleeping, irritability and anxiety, increase in blood pressure and heart rate, etc. Behavioural therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), can help individuals develop coping strategies for managing symptoms and improving their daily functioning. Lifestyle changes, such as getting regular exercise and practicing good sleep hygiene, can also help to improve symptoms.

Overall, managing ADHD symptoms can be a challenge for both children and adults. The hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsivity that characterise the disorder can make it difficult to concentrate, learn, and function on a day-to-day basis. And the use of medication can result in unwanted and unpleasant side effects.

This is where the DAVID Delight, Delight Plus, and Delight Pro are able to help. These are three devices designed to help manage ADHD symptoms by promoting relaxation, improving mood and logical thinking, and settling hyperactivity. These sessions are the result of over 40 years of combined expertise and research by David Siever of Mind Alive Inc.

One of the key features of the DAVID Delight is its use of Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) technology. AVE involves the application of flashing lights and pulsing sounds to synchronise brainwaves and promote relaxation. AVE has been shown to be effective in reducing ADHD behaviours and improving reading skills.

ADHD is a neurological condition that primarily impairs function in the pre-frontal and frontal regions of the brain. As a result, individuals with ADHD become impulsive, inattentive, and distractible. They also often crave stimulation in an effort to excite their brains. Many successful entrepreneurs, inventors, artists, musicians, scientists, and CEOs have been diagnosed with ADHD, and they attribute their drive to their condition. However, without management and direction, it can be difficult for individuals with ADHD to regulate themselves in school, work or in relationships.

The level of brain arousal significantly affects how well a particular mental challenge will be performed. People with attentional problems such as ADHD have particular difficulty shifting their pre-frontal lobes into “gear.” The pre-frontal lobes are responsible for attention, intention, and logical reasoning. These areas function poorly in the ADHD brain because of reduced blood flow and the production of too much slow alpha and/or theta brain waves, especially during cognitive tasks and reading.

AVE technology helps stimulate the pre-frontal lobes by increasing arousal levels, which reduces hyperactivity, improves attention, and lessens moodiness. People with ADHD can do well with stimulating activities like video games and action sports. AVE technology can help simulate these activities and wake up the pre-frontal lobes.

The DAVID Delight also features Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) technology, which involves the use of low-level electrical currents to stimulate the brain. The Delight Pro provides a unique fusion of AVE and CES technology, which can help improve the effectiveness of the device in managing ADHD symptoms.

AVE technology benefits the entire brain and body, and a number of schools abroad have initiated AVE programs for the benefit of their students and staff alike. More and more children are given the opportunity to realise their innate potential. Mind Alive Inc. has been designing and manufacturing brain enhancement products for over 35 years and has conducted extensive research in that time, continually revealing new applications for this ground-breaking technology. The DAVID Delight provides a drug-free way to enhance focus, reduce stress, and manage ADHD symptoms.

Overall, ADHD can have a significant impact on an individual's life, but with a through assessment and a proper diagnosis by a qualified professional, as well as appropriate treatment, individuals with ADHD can learn to manage their symptoms and improve their overall functioning.
