Videogames Used to Treat ADHD
deeptrace writes "USA today has an article about a videogame based treatment for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It uses NASA derived technology to measure brainwave activity while playing videogames. Clinical psychologist Henry Owens says 'If they just play videogames on their own, they will zone out. When they play on this system, if they zone out [as detected by brainwave activity], the videogame doesn't respond any more' This is supposed to help the patient increase the ability to focus and concentrate."
ADHD is caused by the parents of the children as well as many other factors such as they way they are treated by thier peers and teachers at school it is an ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER, meaning you are not getting the attention you need or the attention you are getting is of the wrong kind. I was on ritalin as a kid, ritilin is a friggin amphetimen, now theese so called doctors are prescribing addaral wich is a methamphetimine, and a high powered one at that. More potent and purer that the sh*t coming out of the backyard methlabs that the cops are trying to arrest everyone for, parents, if your not gonna love your kids they way you are supposed to, ya might as well take em out of school and let them smoke weed all day, at least then they will be more relaxed and you would have less problems out of them. But nooooooooooooooo........that would make too much sense!!! =)
