It is a rupture of the equilibrium in certain neurotransmitters in the brain caused by one or more nutritional deficiencies.

Synapset addresses these deficiencies with a patented formula containing key elements at the right dose and chemical form. The formula complies with Health Canada and the US FDA Standards.

Many people (so-called normal) ask themselves, what is attention deficit? Do I, or my child suffer from it?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, criteria for defining the various types of attention deficit:

1. The Inattentive
2. Hyperactive-impulsive
3. The combined (combination of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive)

Symptoms that help to identify the type:

1. The Inattentive
   • is easily distracted
   • continually forgets daily activities
   • forgets details in school work and makes many mistakes
   • ignores those who address them
   • does not follow instructions, does not complete school work and loses concentration
   • has an organizational problem
   • hates tasks that require prolonged effort such as homework
   • loses everything, including books, keys, wallet, ticket, phone.
   • continually forgets daily activities
   • forgets details in school work and makes many mistakes
2. Hyperactive-impulsive
   • he is always on the move and speaks excessively
   • he has trouble waiting for his turn
   • wriggles on the chairs
   • claps his hands and feet
   • get up when he has to sit
   • run around
   • climb in inappropriate situation
   • is unable to participate in games normally
   • gives answers before the question is completed
   • he infiltrates and interrupts the activities of a group constantly
3. The combined
   • This type brings together elements of the two previous types

In adults: The same symptoms are found but they are often a little less obvious.

Our products aim to restore the balance that naturally exists in the brain (homeostasis). More specifically, in the case of Synapset and Anxio-set we intervene at the levels of neurotransmitters which determine our emotions and our behavior. Our research led to the obtaining of an American patent and certification from Health Canada (Natural Product Number), which reassures users about the safety of our products.

Although this is not always the case, some children may also show signs of other problems or conditions alongside ADHD, such as:

• Anxiety disorder – which makes your child anxious and nervous most of the time; it can also cause physical symptoms, such as a fast heart rate, sweating and dizziness.
• Oppositional provocative disorder (ODD) – it is defined by negative and disturbing behavior, especially towards authoritative figures, such as parents and teachers.
• Behavioral disorders – this often involves a tendency to highly antisocial behavior, such as theft, fighting, vandalism, and hurting people or animals
• Depression
• Sleep problems
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – it affects social interaction, communication, interests, and behaviour
• Epilepsy – a disease that affects the brain and causes recurrent seizures or convulsions
• Tourette syndrome – a condition of the nervous system, characterized by a combination of (involuntary) noises and movements
• Learning difficulties – such as dyslexia

Attention deficit symptoms are more difficult to define. It is believed that the disorder could not develop in adults unless it first appears during childhood, or adolescence. It is known that attention deficit symptoms often persist from childhood to adolescence and then to adulthood. Any problems or additional conditions encountered by children with ADHD, such as depression or dyslexia, may also persist in adulthood. By the age of 25, it is estimated that 15% of people diagnosed with ADHD in their childhood still have a range of symptoms, and 65% still have certain symptoms that affect their daily lives. But some experts say that the way inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness affect adults can be very different from that of children. For example, hyperactivity tends to decrease in adults, while inattention tends to worsen as adult life pressures increase. Attention deficit symptoms in adults also tend to be much more subtle than childhood symptoms.

Some experts have suggested the following list of symptoms associated with ADHD in adults:

• Negligence and lack of attention to detail
• Inconsistency: constantly starts new tasks before completing the old ones
• Poor organizational skills
• Inability to concentrate or prioritize
• Constantly losing or missing objects
• Forgetfulness
• Agitation and nervousness
• Difficulty staying quiet and speaking in the opposite direction
• Failure to respond and often interrupt others
• Mood swings, irritability and anger.

• One of the most common is depression
• Personality disorders - conditions in which an individual differs significantly from the average in terms of how to think, perceive, feel or relate to others
• Bipolar disorder, which affects the mood and can go from one extreme to the other
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which translates into obsessive thoughts and compulsory behavior
• Behavioral disorders associated with attention deficit can also lead to problems such as relationship difficulties and social interaction.

Harvard University and Maryland University specialists tell us that there is no cure for this disorder. The pillars of classical ADD and ADHD treatments are medications (drugs), psychotherapy, and various forms of coaching and coping techniques. While drugs are considered first-line treatments for this disorder, some physicians are reluctant to prescribe drugs to children because of their side effects, and also to adults because of a higher risk of drug interactions prescribed for other diseases.

If you have difficulty functioning daily because of ADD, ADHD, it makes sense to try medication. If the impact of the disorder is minor and you have found coping strategies without a formal diagnosis or treatment plan, your doctor may instead advise you on treatments that do not involve medication. Doctors often prescribe medication for this disorder but it is also important to get regular advice and develop strategies to help increase attention and control impulsive behaviors. Drug medications can reduce hyperactivity, impulsive behaviors and attention problems, allowing you to perform better at home, work and school, and to function more consistently and successfully in your daily life.

Medications for ADD and ADHD

THey are classified as either stimulating or non-stimulating. Stimulants also called psychostimulants are usually the first choice used to treat ADHD. These are the most prescribed ADHD medications because they are the most effective way to reduce symptoms such as impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention. Two types - Amphetamines : Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrin - Methylphenidates: Ritalin, Concerta, Methylin. Non-stimulant medications are usually prescribed if a person with ADHD cannot tolerate stimulant medications due to serious side effects. Certain health conditions also preclude stimulant use, such as certain psychiatric disorders, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, or a history of stimulant abuse. Strattera (atomoxetine) and the antidepressant Wellbutrin (bupropion) are examples of non-stimulant medications. The same goes for another blood pressure medication called Intuniv (guanfacine).

How do stimulants work? Stimulant medications for ADHD work by increasing the availability of dopamine and norepinephrine at synapses in the brain. It stimulates the central nervous system and improves cognitive functioning. Because the nervous system is stimulated, some people report feeling jittery, anxious, and nervous when taking this type of stimulant medication.

There is no incompatibility between the use of Synapset and these drugs. Synapset has not side effect and would not interfere with the action of these drugs. In case of doubt, please consult your physician.

Cognitive behavioral therapy. A widely used approach to ADHD is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of psychotherapy helps people transform negative thought patterns into positive, healthier ways of thinking. The idea is that if you change the way you think about a situation, your feelings and behaviors may change as well. For example, CBT can help change "all or nothing" thinking, in which many people with ADHD tend to think that their achievements must be either perfect or a failure.

CBT aims to provide you with tools to help you help cope with stress and life challenges. Working on self-esteem is also an important approach.

Emotional therapy ADHD can cause frequent emotional ups and downs. Just waiting in line can make a person with ADHD quite irritable. As do minor setbacks, like a project not going as planned or a boss changing deadlines. It's also common for adults with ADHD to have other mental health problems. For example, an estimated 50% of adults with ADHD also have an anxiety disorder, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Having ADHD and another condition can seriously interfere with daily functioning.

If you are experiencing emotional symptoms of ADHD, it may be helpful to find a psychiatrist or another type of therapist to discuss how psychotherapy can help you address the challenges in your life.

ADHD tends to run in families, and in most cases, the genes you inherit are thought to be a significant factor in developing the disorder. Research shows that parents and siblings of a child with ADHD are more likely to have ADHD themselves. However, the way ADHD is inherited is likely complex and does not appear to be linked to a single genetic abnormality. According to a brochure distributed in schools: “certain neurochemical messengers or [neurotransmitters] do not function properly” (Mental Health Training, Kutcher, Leblanc, Chehil, p. 2). A lack of dopamine and/or norepinephrine, or abnormalities in various regions of the brain, has been reported. Many publications suggest that there are considerable differences between the brains of children with ADHD and those without ADHD, but this is not a genetic defect. There would be no missing enzyme in the chain of reactions leading to the synthesis of the neurotransmitters involved in this disorder.

Synapset is made off of a combination of natural ingredients at accepted concentration (Health Canada, FDA) with not anticipated side-effects and not interactions with drugs.
