Bw'otendekebwa obulungi mu nneeyisa n'okubuulirira kw'abasawo, obuvuyo buno n'obutafaayo bisobola okuba mu bujjuvu." efugibwa."

Obuzibu bw’okussaayo omwoyo (ADHD) kye ki, obuyinza okulabibwa mu baana awamu n’oluusi n’abantu abakulu? Mu kitundu kino, tugenda kwogera mu bujjuvu ku bubonero bwayo, ebika byakyo, ebikiviirako, n’engeri y’okulabirira abaana.

🤔 ADHD kye ki?

Obuzibu bw’okussaayo omwoyo/okukola ennyo (ADHD) bulwadde bwa nkula y’obusimu obusinga okuzuulibwa mu buto. Kiva ku nkyukakyuka mu nkola y’emirimu mu bitundu by’obwongo ebikwatibwako mu kutegeka, okussaayo omwoyo, n’okufuga enneewulira (the frontal lobe).

Abaana abalina embeera eno bafuna obuzibu okufuga enneewulira zaabwe, ebirowoozo byabwe, n‟ebikolwa byabwe (emirimu gy‟okuddukanya emirimu), ekitaataaganya emirimu gyabwe egy‟okusoma n‟okubeera n‟abantu buli lunaku.

❓ ADHD etera etya?

Okusinziira ku bibalo, abaana nga 7% - 11% abali wakati w’emyaka 2 - 17 balina ADHD. Buzuulibwa emirundi egisukka mu ebiri mu balenzi okusinga mu bawala. Okuva obubonero bw’abalenzi obw’okukola ennyo bwe bulabika obulungi, kyangu okusindikibwa mu basawo.

❓ Okugabanya ADHD (Ebika bya ADHD) .

ADHD esobola okwawulwamu ebika 3 okusinziira ku bubonero obukulu omwana bw’alaga:
1. Okusinga Obutafaayo Enyanjula: Mu mbeera eno, wadde ng’okuwuubaala kutono, waliwo obuzibu obw’amaanyi okukuuma okufaayo. Wadde nga kino edda kyayitibwa ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), kati kiteekebwa mu kibinja kya ADHD.
2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Mu nnyanjula eno, enneeyisa ezisukkiridde nga okudduka, okubuuka, okuwuubaala, n’obutaba na bugumiikiriza ze zisinga okusinga obutafaayo.
3. Enyanjula ey’okugatta: Enyanjula esinga okumanyibwa (abalwadde 70% bagwa mu kiti kino) obubonero bw’obutafaayo n’okukola ennyo bwe bulabibwa kyenkanyi.

🤒 Bubonero ki obulaga obulwadde bwa ADHD?

Okuzuula obulwadde, obubonero buno bulina okubaawo okumala waakiri emyezi 6 egy’omuddiring’anwa mu mbeera bbiri mu bulamu bw’omwana (e.g., awaka n’essomero).

#### Obubonero bw'obutafaayo:

Ensobi ezitera okukolebwa mu ngeri ey’obutafaayo mu mirimu gy’essomero ne mu mirimu gya buli lunaku.
Obuzibu okukuuma okufaayo ng’ozannya oba ng’osoma.
Okulaga obutafaayo kuwuliriza ng’omuntu ayogera butereevu.
Okukaluubirirwa okugoberera obulungi ebiragiro n’okumaliriza emirimu mu budde.
Okwerabira ennyo n’okufiirwa ebintu ebya bulijjo ng’ebitabo, eby’okuzannyisa, n’ekkalaamu.
Okuwugulibwa n’ebintu ebitonotono eby’ebweru.

#### Obubonero bw'okukola ennyo/obutafaayo:

Okukyukakyuka oba okukyusakyusa ebitundu by’omubiri emirundi mingi ng’otudde mu kifo kimu.
Emirundi mingi okusituka okuva mu ntebe yo mu kibiina oba awaka n’odduka.
Okukaluubirirwa okuzannya oba okuwummulamu mu bukkakkamu.

🤔 Ebivaako obulwadde bwa ADHD

Wadde nga ekituufu ekivaako embeera eno tekinnazuulibwa, okusinziira ku kunoonyereza kwa ssaayansi, ebisinga okuvaako embeera eno bye bino wammanga:

Ensengekera y’obuzaale: Singa omuntu mu maka alina ADHD, akabi k’omwana okugifuna kali nga 75%.
Enkyukakyuka mu busimu mu bwongo: Obutakwatagana mu busimu obutambuza obusimu, eddagala nga dopamine ne noradrenaline, obutambuza obubaka mu bwongo.
Ebikosa ng’ali lubuto: Maama okukozesa sigala, omwenge oba ebiragalalagala ng’ali lubuto, oba okukozesa eddagala erisukkiridde (e.g., lead).
Okuzaala nga tannatuuka: Omwana azaalibwa nga tannatuuka mu kiseera ekijjuvu oba ng’obuzito butono nnyo ng’azaalibwa.

> [!NOTE]
> Okulya ssukaali omungi, okulaba ennyo ttivvi oba amasimu, oba okuzaala obubi tebireeta ADHD. Naye zisobola okwongera okusajjula obubonero obuliwo.

🚨 Ebizibu ebiwangaala ebiyinza okubaawo singa bibuusibwa amaaso (Red Flags) .

Singa ADHD tejjanjabibwa bulungi, omwana ayinza okufuna ebizibu bino wammanga ng’akula:

Okudda emabega mu by’enjigiriza n’obutabeera mu ntebenkevu ku mirimu.
Okwetwala obubi n‟okumenya enkolagana y‟abantu.

Omutendera ogw’okutaano (Okukozesa eddagala mu ngeri entuufu): Abaana abasukka emyaka 6 bawe eddagala erizimba omubiri, nga Methylphenidate, ng’omusawo bw’amulagira.
