ADHD & Neurotransmitter Levels

ADHD is among the most common neurotransmitter-related conditions. Environmental and biological factors including stress, poor diet, neurotoxins, or genetics can cause imbalances in the levels of neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain. These imbalances may trigger or exacerbate ADHD symptoms.

If left untreated, children with ADHD can develop self-destructive behaviors. They can fall behind in academics and are more likely to drop out of school. They are more prone to altercations with authority figures and law enforcement officials and to experiment with drugs and alcohol. They also are more likely to become injured in accidents due to risk-taking. Adults can suffer from similar patterns in the home or work environment.

Facts about ADHD

• 3 – 5% of school-age children are diagnosed with ADHD. Many more are undiagnosed
• Three times as many boys as girls suffer from ADHD
• 78% of pediatric prescriptions are for attention issues
• Half of the children with ADHD also have a learning disability
• 50 – 80% of ADHD cases diagnosed in childhood persist into adolescence
• 30 – 50% of adolescent cases of ADHD persist into adulthood

Prescription therapies

Most prescription drugs used to tread ADHD either imitate a neurotransmitter or redistribute existing neurotransmitters. The medications provide relief by working with the existing neurotransmitters, but do not alter the overall neurotransmitter supply. Because they fail to bring neurotransmitter levels back into proper balance, their effectiveness is often limited. When the body’s supply of neurotransmitters drops below a critical level, some drugs simply stop functioning. This prompts many doctors to switch patients to another drug or to add drugs. Since the new drugs are not designed to address the chemical imbalances behind ADHD, they too can meet with limited success.
