Temporal Lobe Attention Deficit
Disorder: ADHD With Anxiety.
This type of ADD is often referred to as “ADHD
with Anxiety” or “Explosive ADD.” The key to look for with this
type of ADHD is anger outbursts for little or no apparent reason.
This is difficult type of ADD to live with. This type is
inattentive, irritability, aggressive and severely impulsive. They
have dark thoughts and wild mood swings. They are defiant,
disobedient and break rules for the simple sake of breaking rules.
If aggression and anger outbursts are present, you likely fall
into this category of Attention Deficit.
Temporal lobe problems can be genetic or caused by brain trauma or
injury. This types of ADHD can be quite severe and requires
significant treatment, and great patience from those who live with
the Frontal Lobe type.
The Frontal Lobe type is often inept in social situations because
they have great difficulty reading social cues, facial expressions
and body and tone language. Because of this, the Frontal Lobe type
is prone to misinterpretations.
For instance, the Frontal Lobe type might misinterpret
light-hearted joking as a severe personal attack. Because the
Frontal Lobe type is prone to aggressive behavior and impulsivity,
he might fly into a rage and physically attack the person.
Afterward, he will not show remorse.

If you fit into the Frontal Lobe subtype of Attentive Deficit
Disorder, you will want to use
Attend,
Neuran and
Memorin.
Attend addresses the primary Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms.
Neuran provides mood stabilization and enhancement. Memorin
increase focus, concentration and memory. These three formulas
together form an effective strategy for the Temporal Lobe type of
Attention Deficit Disorder.
Treatment Strategy for Temporal Lobe ADHD:
Attend: 1 capsule twice daily.
Neuran: 2 capsules twice daily for adults, 1 capsule twice daily
for children under 50 pounds.
Memorin: 1 capsule twice daily.
People with Temporal Lobe Attention Deficit Disorder should not
use St. John’s Wort (as found in Extress and Deprex), as St.
John’s Wort can worsen symptoms. Neuran used with Attend can
effectively stabilize and enhance mood without using St. John’s
Wort for those that display the signs of Temporal Lobe Attention
Deficit Disorder.
Physicians might prescribe anticonvulsant (antiseizure)
medication. These medications work by enhancing the amino acid
GABA, an essential neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA decreases
neuron activity and inhibit nerve cells from over firing or firing
erratically. GABA itself acts like an anticonvulsant and an
anti-anxiety agent. The Attend and Neuran formulas both contain
ample amounts of GABA. Supplementing with GABA is safe, healthy
and effective compared to taking potentially dangerous
prescription medications.
Many people with temporal lobe problems also suffer from memory
problems, which is why the Memorin formula - with its amino acids,
essential fatty acids, Phosphatidal Serine, Ginko Biloba and other
memory ingredients - works well with this type of Attention
Deficit Disorder.
As with all types of Attention Deficit
Disorder, a
nutritional
eating plan and
exercise
regime are also important aspects of the treatment plan.
