Learn About ADHD
Welcome to my second action project for Disease. We just wrapped up our second unit called Mind . In Mind , we looked at the brain and focused different parts of the brain. Our main resource was the DMX-V file which is a textbook that has a long list of mental illnesses, including their symptoms. This book is often used by medical professionals when studying mental illnesses. To empathize with someone who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, we took part in a simulation where we watched a video on what it's like to live with schizophrenia. For this action project, we did something similar to that. In this unit, we looked into different mental illnesses specially autism, schizophrenia, and we chose one that we wanted to research on our own. We looked deeply into autism and read a book by Naoki Nigashida called, The Reason I Jump. I chose to research attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I made a simulation and did a lot of research on what it's like to live with ADH
