Abstract:
During the last decade, scientific interest in
researching the problem of attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) in children has not faded. Despite the large
number of published proceedings, this topic does not cease to
interest specialists - not only doctors, but also pedagogical
workers. This is explained by the fact that the problem of
ADHD leads to social maladaptation and causes not only
medical, but also pedagogical difficulties, which worsen the
quality of life of the child and the family. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adaptive
mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system of children with
ADHD and the possibility of metabolic correction by using
omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3-PUFA) and zinc
agents.
