PART 1

I would like to name this disorder CDD or Concentration Distraction Disorder:

Diagnosis of different behaviors has not provided an answer to the cause and origin of these symptoms. With the advantages of the 21^st century medicine, we now know that these symptoms are neurological and are based on the biochemistry of the neurotransmitters in the brain. Their concentration, release and the reactions created in the receptors of brain cells of each individual is different. Because multiple areas of the brain are affected, responses vary. However, there are many overlapping symptoms within different diagnosis.

We now know that Autism, ADD, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia are genetic. Genomic make-up of individuals and their family members have been evaluated. DNA deletion of regions of the genes containing certain characteristics and genomic rearrangements are extremely important in identifying the cause and the origin of many of these symptoms.  

ADD could also be named Adrenalin Deficit Disorder. People with ADD are only Attention Deficit when they have to do what they do not want to do.  Activities which stimulate the brain and would increase Adrenaline secretion are interesting to ADD people. Video Games for children with CDD are the answer to increasing their Adrenalin jolt. Adults, usually seek to get their boost with Rock and Roll music, Tobacco, Coffee, Sex, Porn, Stock Market, Gambling and Drugs. Power seekers may fall in the category of Adrenaline seekers. Power has been associated with infidelity, which in turn is a by product of getting a high with Dopamine and Adrenaline. Women with ADD usually have delayed orgasms, because they cannot concentrate and get easily distracted with other thoughts during love making.

Historically, many of the Mathematicians, Visionaries and High Achievers are known to have had CDD. People with CDD see more than the so called normal people who fall in the middle of the Normal Distribution Curve.. They see around them with more of an emphasis on details of their environment. They see the colors more intense, sounds are more distinguished, shapes stand out in back grounds and space gets a new dimension. This certain characteristic has made people with CDD creative. They see things in a different angel, a new vision of the future. This vision may seem like an illusion to many but with perseverance it will happen. This is Hope, the fuel that gets us going.

Negative feelings like being sad, mad, afraid, guilty, disappointed and stronger emotions of depression may be a cause of low or unbalanced blood sugar and serotonin.

As we know a bar of Chocolate right before the menstrual cycle, peri or post menopausal mood swings, will cheer us up. Chocolate has the precursor for Serotonin. Serotonin is converted into Dopamine and from there into Nor-Adrenaline in the brain.
