He uaua anō hoki ki a koe te aro atu i a koe e pakeke ana? Me kōrero tātou mō te ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) o te pakeke.

He uaua ki a koe te arotahi ki tētahi mahi i ētahi wā? Kāore rānei koe e mahi i tētahi mea i te wā kotahi, me te kore e whakaaroaro i mua i te mahi? Tērā pea kei te noho pōrearea tonu koe, ā, kāore e taea e koe te noho ki te wāhi kotahi. Mēnā kei te pā tonu ēnei mea ki tō oranga o ia rā, ki tō mahi, me ō whanaungatanga, tera pea he āhuatanga tēnei e kōrerohia nei e tātou i tēnei rā, ko te ADHD mō ngā pakeke . He āhuatanga noa tēnei e kitea ana i waenga i te tini o te tangata, engari kāore i te tino mōhiotia. Nō reira, me kōrero taipitopito tātou mō tēnei mea, he tino māmā noa iho.

He aha te ADHD mō te pakeke?

Ki te whakarapopototanga, ko te ADHD pakeke (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) he mate whanaketanga roro e pā ana ki te mahi a te roro. Ko ōna tohu matua ko te uaua ki te pupuri i te aro, te whanoke, me te hihiko i ētahi wā. Ehara tēnei i te mangere nāu, ehara hoki i te hapa o te tuakiri. He mate tēnei e mōhiotia ana e te rata.

Ko te mea nui, ehara te ADHD i te mea ka puta ohorere mai i te pakeketanga. Ehara i te mea ko ngā pakeke katoa e pāngia ana e te ADHD kua pāngia e te mate mai i te tamarikitanga. Ko ētahi ka kitea i te tamarikitanga, ko ētahi ka kitea i te pakeketanga. Ahakoa ka mutu te nuinga o ngā tamariki i te mate i a rātou e pakeke haere ana, tata ki te 60% o te tangata ka noho tonu me ēnei tohu ki te pakeketanga. Ahakoa kāore he rongoā mō tēnei mate, ka taea te whakahaere angitu me te noho i te oranga noa me te maimoatanga me te whakahaere tika.

He aha ngā tohu o tēnei mate?

Kāore e rite ana te katoa o te hunga e pāngia ana e te ADHD. Ka rerekē ngā tohu i ia tangata, i ia tangata. Mō ētahi tāngata, he pānga nui ēnei tohu ki ō rātou oranga o ia rā, mō ētahi atu ia, kāore pea e kitea. Me titiro tātou ki ngā tohu matua ka kitea.

Whakaarohia, ina he mea e pai ana koe ki te mahi, ka taea e koe te arotahi ki taua mea, engari ina tae ki tētahi mahi hoha, ka kore tō hinengaro e haere ki hea. He mea tēnei e pāngia ana e te tini o te hunga whai ADHD.

He momo matua o te ADHD?

Ae, e toru ngā momo matua o te ADHD.

1. ADHD Korearo: Ko te raru matua mō ēnei tāngata ko te kore aro. He uaua ki a rātou te whakarite i ngā mahi, te maumahara ki ngā wāhi kei reira ngā mea, me te whai i ngā tohutohu. Heoi, kāore i te tino kitea te hihiko o te tangata. I mua ko te ADD ( attention deficit disorder).

2. ADHD Hirahira/Hōhehe: Ko te āhuatanga matua o ēnei tāngata ko te kore e marino, me te mahi me te kore whakaaro. He kore e marino tonu, he nui rawa ngā kōrero, ā, kāore he manawanui.

3. ADHD Whakakotahi: Koinei te momo tino noa. He huinga tohu kei roto i ēnei tāngata mai i ngā momo e rua o runga ake nei. Arā, he kore aro me te kore mahi nui.

He aha ngā take mō tēnei? He aha ngā whakaaro hē?

Kāore anō kia tino mōhiotia e ngā kaipūtaiao te pūtake o te ADHD. Engari kua whakaatuhia e ngā rangahau he mea ahu mai i roto i ngā whānau . Ko te tikanga o tēnei, ki te pāngia tētahi o tō whānau e te ADHD, inā koa he mātua, he tuākana, he teina rānei, ka nui ake te tūponotanga ka pāngia koe e te ADHD.

Kua kitea hoki he rerekētanga ētahi o ngā hanganga o te roro me te mahi a ngā matū (ngā neurotransmitters) e tuku karere ana i waenga i ngā pūtau io o te hunga whai ADHD.

Ko te mea nui rawa: Ehara te ADHD i te mate e puta mai ana i ngā hapa a ngā mātua, i te kai reka, i te mātakitaki nui rawa rānei i te pouaka whakaata/waea. He whakaaro hē ēnei. Heoi, mā ēnei mea ka kino ake pea ngā tohu.

Ko ngā āhuatanga mōrearea ko te waipiro, te tupeka, te whakamahi tarukino rānei a te whaea i te wā e hapu ana, ngā whara o te roro, me te taumaha iti i te whānautanga.

Me pēhea koe e tino mōhio ai mēnā kei a koe te ADHD?

He raruraru tēnei e pā ana ki te tini tāngata. Kāore he whakamātautau kotahi hei tautuhi i te ADHD. Arā, kāore e taea te kite mā te whakamātautau toto, mā te matawai rānei. Ki te whakaaro koe he ADHD tōu, ko te mea pai ko te toro atu ki tētahi tohunga hinengaro e mātau ana ki tēnei mahi.

Tērā pea ka mahia e tō tākuta ēnei mea:

• He whakamātautau hauora katoa hei tirotiro mēnā he take tinana anō kei te pūtake o ō tohumate.
• Te pātai mō tō tamarikitanga. Nā te mea kāore te ADHD e puta noa i te pakeketanga, ka rapua e mātou ngā tohu i kitea mai i te tamarikitanga.
• Te tono kia kite i tō pūrongo kura (hei tauira, ngā tuhipoka mai i ngā kaiako mō ngā ngoikoretanga o te aro, ngā raruraru whanonga)
• Te kōrero ki ō mātua me te pātai atu mō ō whanonga i a koe e tamariki ana.
• E pātai ana mēnā kei roto i te whānau tētahi atu e pāngia ana e tēnei āhuatanga.

Mā te whakakotahi i ēnei mea katoa, ka taea e te tākuta te whakatau mēnā kei a koe te ADHD, kāore rānei.

Me pēhea te rongoā?

Kāore te ADHD e rongoātia mā te kotahi tikanga maimoatanga. I te nuinga o te wā, ka hangaia he mahere maimoatanga mā te whakakotahi i tētahi, i ētahi rānei o ēnei tikanga: te rongoā, te whakaora whanonga, me te tohutohu.

Ngā rongoā

E rua ngā momo rongoā e whakamahia ana hei whakahaere i ngā tohumate ADHD.

1. Ngā rongoā whakaohooho: Koinei ngā mea e whakamahia whānuitia ana. Hei tauira, ko ngā rongoā pēnei i te Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta). Ka whakahaere ēnei i ngā tohu mā te whakataurite i ngā matū i roto i te roro e pā ana ki te aro me te whakahaere. Heoi, i te wā e whakamahia ana ēnei, me whai tika koe i ngā tohutohu a tō tākuta.

2. Ngā rongoā kore-whakaohooho: Kei roto i tēnei kāwai ngā rongoā pēnei i te 'Atomoxetine'. E taunakihia ana ēnei mō te hunga kāore e tika ana mō ngā rongoā whakaohooho, mō te hunga rānei he raruraru hauora kē atu.

Ngā Maimoatanga Whanoke me te Whakaora

He rite tonu te hiranga o ēnei mea ki te rongoā.

• Te Whakaora Hinengaro Hinengaro (CBT): Ka āwhina tēnei i a koe ki te whakarerekē i ō tauira whakaaro, ō whanonga, me te huarahi e whakatau ai koe i ngā raruraru. Ka taea hoki e ia te āwhina i a koe ki te hanga whakaaro nui ki a koe anō.
• Te whakaaroaro aroātea: Ka āwhina ēnei mea ki te whakamarie i te hinengaro me te whakanui ake i te arotahi.
• Te whakangungu oranga: Ka āwhina tēnei i a koe ki te whakarite i tō mahinga o ia rā, ki te whakatakoto whāinga, me te whakatutuki i aua whāinga.
• Te tohutohu whānau: Te āwhina i tō whānau kia mārama ki te ADHD me te tautoko i a koe.

Ngā mea ka taea e koe te mahi hei noho tahi me te ADHD

Haunga te maimoatanga, he maha ngā mea ka taea e koe te mahi hei whakamāmā ake i te oranga.

• Whakamaherehia tō rā: Tuhia he rārangi mahi i mua i te tīmatanga o tō rā. Whakamahia he 'mahere o ia rā', he 'taupānga whakamaumahara' rānei.
• Wehea ngā mahi nunui kia iti ake: Ina tīmata ohorere koe ki te mahi i tētahi mahi nui, ka ahua taumaha rawa. Nō reira, wehea kia iti ake, ka whakaotihia takitahi.
• Whakaitihia ngā mea hei whakararuraru: I te wā e mahi ana, whakawetohia ngā mea pēnei i te pouaka whakaata me te waea, ka whiriwhiri i tētahi wāhi marino.
• Whakakorikori Tinana: Ahakoa he iti noa te whakakorikori tinana i ia rā, ka āwhina i te whakaiti i ngā tohumate o te ADHD. Ka tukuna te kaha nui i roto i tō tinana, ā, ka whakamarie i tō hinengaro.
• Whakaarohia i mua i te whakatau ohorere: I mua i tō mahi i runga i tētahi hihiri, kati ka tatau ki te 10. I roto i taua wā poto, ka taea e koe te whakahaere i tō hihiri.
• Whakaharatauhia te kī 'kāo': He nui ake ngā mahi ka mahia e te hunga whai ADHD i ētahi wā, kāore e taea e rātou. Nō reira, kia pono ki tāu e taea ai, me te whakaharatau hoki ki te kī 'kāo' ki tāu e kore e taea.
• Hoatu he koha ki a koe anō: Ina oti i a koe tētahi mahi uaua, hoatu he koha iti ki a koe anō, ā, kia maioha ki a koe anō. Ka nui ake tō hihiri ki te mahi i te mahi e whai ake nei.
• Inoi āwhina: Kaua e ngana ki te mahi i ngā mea katoa ko koe anake. Ki te pōuri koe, tonoa he āwhina mai i tētahi hoa pono, i tētahi mema o te whānau, i tō tākuta rānei.
