Mental Health First Aid ADHD

11 July 2021 By SMARTT Leave a Comment

What is ADHD?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a group of behavioural symptoms that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

Is ADHD a serious mental illness?

Research has suggested that ADHD is not caused by factors such as, bad parenting, too much sugar intake, poverty or family disputes, however the following factors are most likely to cause ADHD;

Those most likely to be diagnosed with ADHD are boys and not girls.

Individuals who has been exposed to environmental toxins, this like lead that is found mainly in certain paints or in old buildings.

If their mother has used any drugs, smoked tobacco or drank excessive amounts of alcohol during pregnancy and if they were born prematurely.

Genetical – if any family members, such as parents or siblings has been diagnosed with ADHD or any other mental health illness

Symptoms of HDHD typically appear between the age of 3 to 6. The mentioned factors may not trigger ADHD but the more of the above you have the high the risk is of getting ADHD

What are the possible causes of ADHD? Mental Health First Aid ADHD

The exact cause of ADHD is unknown, but it has been identified that it is mainly inherited.

However, research has identified a number of other potential triggers, which can be;

The brain

It is understood the brain can cause poor communication messages which in turn can cause ADHD. This has been related to people who does not have the condition.

Other factors that have been suggested as possible causes involving the brain is over stimulation. This means if the person is instructed with too much information at once and they cannot identify what is relevant and what is not. This can cause the lack of interest by paying too much attention at too many tasks.

During pregnancy

A number of different factors can be possible causes of ADHD during the pregnancy stage, things such as;

Being born premature (mainly earlier then the 37th week of the pregnancy)
Having a low birth weight
if the mother was Smoking, drinking alcohol or having drug abuse during the pregnancy

Poor diet

Certain experts have claimed that some food additive can trigger a form of hyperactive behaviour. The Food Standard Agency (FSA) has provided a chart showing different mixtures of artificial colouring in different foods can increase hyperactive behaviour – this chart can be found at

Food Standard Agency. 2020. Food Standard Agency. [ONLINE] Available at: https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/food-additives. [Accessed 3 July 2020].

Mental Health First Aid ADHD TV exposure

Studies have shown that allowing young children under the age of three to watch too much TV per day, can be a cause of attention span and possibly contribute the ADHD in later life

It’s thought that around 2% to 5% of school-aged children may have ADHD. This can occur in people of any rational capability, with that said its often common in individuals with any type of learning difficulties.

Mental Health First Aid ADHD, How it affects 

The individual

Individual with ADHD can find it very difficult to fit in to school routines as they are overactive and impulsive. This can be very of putting by other children and prevent the person making friends with them.

They may also not understand the condition the person has and think they are not normal. At times this can lead to conflict with others and getting excluded from school.

ADHD could also affect the persons performance and possible affect future employment prospects. The individual may have difficulties in any type of physical risks.

Their life

ADHD can have lasting effects during their life as they get older, for example; The individual may have difficulties in carrying out every day activities tasks, such as going shopping and organising normal daily tasks.

The person could have difficulties making and or keeping friends or even establish a long-term relationship with a partner.

People with ADHD may be prone to be more dangerous at driving and also under achieve in their studies or work.

How an individual’s ADHD may affect others.

As with all mental health, ADHD will not just affect the individual but also others around them such as friends and family.

Family and even friend of the person with ADHD may feel guilty because they could think this type of behaviour is down to their own poor parenting. This can become very exhausting by the persons hyperactivity and also become frustrating if the disorder is not managed properly.

Parents can become very angry with the young person if they think they are just badly behaving.

As with parents, ADHD in adults will affect others such as partners and friends, in a number of diverse ways;

Mental Health First Aid ADHD

Feeling unwanted is a common affect as the lack of attention they receive can sometimes be understood as a lack of interest in them. This can become frustrating for none-ADHD people and they can become emotionally affected due to bottling their feeling up in order to avoid any the of conflict.

It can cause stress to the none-ADHD person and eventually become exhausted – this is because the carry most the responsibilities that other family members. This can eventually have a break down in the relationship

Mental Health First Aid Course | Phobia

15 August 2020 By SMARTT Leave a Comment

What is meant by the term Phobia?

A phobia is a sort of anxiety which an individual has a fear of a person, object or situations that many people take for granted. A person with a phobia maybe comes paranoid and will sidestep the topic of the fear whenever possible.

What are the main groups of phobias?

Individuals with various forms of phobias often realise their worry is irrational and that no actual threat of danger is immanent, however most people require help in order to conquer their personal phobia.

There are two main group types of phobias:

  • Complex phobia
  • Specific or commonly known as simple phobia

Every type of phobia can range in severity – from moderate to an extreme debilitating disorder. The sooner a phobia develops and the longer you wait to treat the phobia, the extra hard it becomes to get over it. Without help, an individual is often left to avoid their phobia for the rest of their life

Complex phobia

Complex phobia are general feelings of shyness in front of other people. Complex phobias contain self-recognition to the point of paralysation. Social phobias trigger from the fear that other people will judge the person in a negative way and with scrutiny. It’s also known as social phobia

Some examples of complex phobias can be:

  • Fear of talking with many people or groups – IE meetings
  • Fear to enter public rooms – IE, cafes, restaurants with the fear of eating in front of others
  • Fear of meeting new people – in the high street or anywhere in public
  • Fear of social contact with others in general – IE waiting a shop queue

Complex or social phobia can be so extreme as to restrict a person’s interpersonal contact in its absolute. Social phobia is often a precursor to agoraphobia, (which is another group type and I will talk about later in this unit) which can be visible as a worsening of the social phobia. If this occurs then the phobia could prevent any personal or social skills and also could prevent social contact with friends or family.

Specific phobia

A specific, or simple, phobia is the fear of one specific thing such as a object or situation.

The majority or people are more acquainted with this kind of phobia. For instance, many human beings fear spiders; if someone’s fear is irrationally exaggerated enough, this might classify as a particular phobia. Individuals with particular phobias actively keep away from their fear – Mental Health First Aid Course

Some of the common types of specific phobias can be;

  • fear of animal – such as fear of dogs, snakes, rats or spiders etc
  • Natural environment – this could be the fear of heights or water
  • Injections – examples are the fear of pain or needles
  • Situational – such as the fear of flying, elevators or close space

Certain phobias mainly develop at a younger age. For example, animal phobias can start at an age of as early as seven years old. Other phobias such blood phobia could develop at the age nine and dental phobia at age twelve.

A further phobia group is agoraphobia but is generally looked at differently to the two main groups of specific and complex

People who suffer with agoraphobia live in fear of being in certain situations where help would not be at hand if things went wrong. Many people assume agoraphobia is simply a fear of large open spaces such as shopping centres, but it’s a more compound condition. An individual who suffers with agoraphobia may have fear of travelling on public transport or worse case not leave their own home

Examples of specific and social phobias.

As mentioned in the last question, there are two main groups of phobias, which are specific and complex or social phobia, here are examples of each in turn

Specific phobias

  • Examples of specific phobias could be:
  • fear of animal – such as the fear of dogs, snakes, rats or spiders et
  • fear of birds and insects
  • Natural environment – this could be the fear of heights or water
  • Injections – examples are the fear of pain or needles
  • Situational – such as the fear of flying, elevators or close space

Social phobias

Examples of social phobias could be:

  • Meeting people
  • Walking down the street -Attending meetings
  • Public speaking

Possible causes of phobia.

Certain developments of phobias can occur during childhood and these phobias can stay with the individual for life. An example could be if you have experienced been stuck in small space areas you may suffer from claustrophobia. Another cause could be if you have been thrown in cold water or your head help under water as a child, this could lead to having a phobia and fear of water

A common cause as a child could be what’s known as a learned response from a family member, this could be a family member who suffers from certain mental health problems such as anxiety, this can be picked up easily as a child and they can develop this later in life – Mental Health First Aid Course

Another factor could be a life experience caused by a traumatic of stressful experience such as a bad social experience.

Mental Health First Aid Course

Feelings an individual may have when experiencing a phobia

If a person has a phobia they may feel deep fear of something, such as a person, thing or situation. A phobia can cause an exaggerated and persistent fear which may cause an aggressive response or panic in the situation encountered.

Phobias produce two feeling, physical and psychological

The physical fears a person may feel could be things such as, hot flushes, confusion, sweating, needing the toilet or feeling faint, chest pains and nausea. The psychological feelings maybe the fear of fainting, fearing losing control and the fear of possibly dying.

How a specific phobia could prevent someone from leading a normal life

A specific phobia such as the fear of birds may prevent someone from leading a normal life, this would affect their ability to walk in the street and go further afield, it could also have an impact on their work-related duties.

World famous actress Scarlett Johansson has a phobia of birds

The actress opening up about her lifelong fear claiming “Something about wings and beaks and the flapping,”  “I’m terrified of them. That still hasn’t gone away … I was terrified of the peacocks on set [of her movie We Bought a Zoo]. Like, ‘Ahh, don’t get too close.’ They’re like, mean.”

This could also have a knock-on effect on her friends and family who may want to watch certain screen plays but the person with the phobia will not attend if their phobia is present.

How agoraphobia could prevent someone from leading a normal life.

Many people assume that agoraphobia is simply a fear of large open spaces such as shopping centres, but it’s a more complex phobia condition. It’s a fear of being in places from which they cannot easily escape or where help may not be available, especially if your suffering from a panic attack – Mental Health First Aid Course

If an individual suffers a panic attack in a certain place they may not want to go there ever again or even in similar places. Agoraphobia is often associate with the environment. An example could be, it may prevent the individual from leading their normal daily life because they will not feel save in places or surroundings such as work or public environments. This may lead to;

Financial problems

People who suffer with agoraphobia illness may not be able to work and not generate an income and then it becomes harder to find employment and employers seem to be less reluctant to consider anyone with mental health problems for employment. This in turn can lead to relationship problems and or further mental health problems.

Communications with friends, family and the general public, 

An individual suffering with agoraphobia may also have fears of travelling on public transport or worse case not leave their own home and in some cases for a very long time.

The impact of been isolated and not leaving their home can have a major effect for the individual trying to lead a normal daily life, for example, it can lead to many different things such as

physical issues, not exercising, eating or sleeping properly – this could lead to then lead to taking to recreational drugs or alcohol

phycological issues, such as panic attacks, depression or anxiety – this can trigger further mental health illnesses for the individual and been isolated could have devastating effects as no one can help them or offer support.

How a person’s phobia may affect others.

Any type of phobia can have a major effects and complications to family, friends and even the general public as it can cause interpersonal and communication issues. At times, this could cause arguments and disagreements meaning frustration and anxiety going into auto pilot and as a result having limit activities that friends and families can all do together.

Families with children suffering with phobias may find it more difficult to deal with Mental Health First Aid Course

This can cause more anxiousness as the family will need to put in special measures to deal with the situations the child may experience due to their phobia.

If the individual suffering with a phobia does not express or talk about their fears to either friend, family or even help groups then they may feel even more isolated, frustrated or rejected and this could also have the same effect on family as they won’t understand the situation

What can you do to self-help for phobias?

Although there is excellent treatment and help for people who suffer from phobias, there are a range of such importance in which people with a phobia can self-help.

Having researched and talked to individuals suffering with phobias one of the best and most positive way is to open up and talk to others about their fears, this will allow the person to think positively and control their thoughts. It may also assist the individual to find other options or further help which they are not aware of.

Relaxation is an effective method of self-help to different people suffering from phobias, this can be done by the individual on their own but is usually more effective in a group. It helps with many things such as breathing techniques, relaxing of body muscles and is great way to clear the mind set and have positive thinking

Graded Exposure is a way of treating a range of specific phobias. It’s when the individual suffering from fear can be gradually exposed to the phobia which allows them to face their fear and control the situation in bite size steps.

What are possible treatments for phobias?

The treatment of complex phobias is often a longer process and involves talking to others; Examples of this possible treatment maybe:

Counselling:

A trained counsellor is a great form of treatment as they listen to the Individuals issues and problems and this in turn can help them combat their fears. This could also include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  This treatment helps links between the individual’s thoughts and feelings. CBT treatment often includes a different range of techniques, including exposure therapy or desensitisation

Change in life style

With social phobia, the individual’s personal lifestyle may affect the mindset therefore trigging levels of anxiety.

There are so many different areas where an individual can change their lifestyle to get in the right mind set, there’s are;

  • Controlling your diet and eat health – helps control weight issues that can cause depression
  • Exercise at least 30 minutes a day – health body, health mind
  • Cut down on caffeine, sugary drinks and alcohol – these sorts of drink can aggravate anxiety
  • Have a regular sleep pattern – help control the metabolism

Exposure therapy:

Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing you to the object or situation you fear, in a safe and controlled way. For example, if you have a phobia of going to the dentist, you might read about the dentist, then look at a picture of a dentist’s chair, sit in the waiting room and talk to the dentist, before finally sitting in the dentist’s chair.

Through repeated experiences of facing your fear, you may feel an increasing sense of control over your phobia. This technique needs to be carefully managed to avoid causing distress and anxiety, so

Hypnotherapy:

Many people who have phobias find hypnotherapy helpful for relieving their symptoms. The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) has a register of hypnotherapists who have trained to national standard level.

Medication:

If a phobia causes significant anxiety, the person may be offered medication. Currently, there are three classes of drugs considered useful in managing anxiety. These are:

Antidepressants:

The most commonly prescribed drugs to treat anxiety are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. These drugs can be helpful but may cause side effects such as sleep problems and increased anxiety. If SSRIs don’t work or aren’t suitable, you may be offered a tricyclic antidepressant.

Beta-blockers:

Beta-blockers such as propranolol are sometimes used to treat the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a rapid heartbeat, palpitations and tremors (shaking). However, beta-blockers are not psychiatric drugs so they don’t reduce any of the psychological symptoms. They may be helpful in certain situations if you have to face a phobia, such as going on an aeroplane.

First Aid Awareness Durham – Nо mаttеr the type оf construction уоur соmраnу іѕ іnvоlvеd іn, thеrе саn be mаnу potential hаzаrdѕ оn thе jоbѕіtе that can rеѕult іn injury, and іn еxtrеmе cases, even dеаth. In аddіtіоn, аnу ѕаfеtу mіѕhарѕ оn thе jоbѕіtе саn саuѕе dоwntіmе, аddіtіоnаl еxреnѕеѕ аnd even саuѕе your соmраnу tо miss іmроrtаnt deadlines. Sо, іt’ѕ сrіtісаl tо give уоur workers ѕоmе bаѕіс guіdеlіnеѕ to fоllоw аt all tіmеѕ whеn they аrе оn thе jobsite. Hеrе are ѕоmе еѕѕеntіаl safety tірѕ tо kеер you аnd your workers ѕаfе on thе jоbѕіtе.

Health & Safety Executive  guidelines say that if you work in a company with 5-50 employees, there should be at least one member of staff trained in first aid. Another first–aider should be appointed for every further 50 workers after that. Accidents can happen, even in low risk organisations with few employees. This is where SMARTT North East come to action. First Aid Awareness Durham

Visibility саn be a сrіtісаl issue on jоb ѕіtеѕ. Mаkе ѕurе уоu give уоur wоrkеrѕ thе рrореr ассеѕѕоrіеѕ nееdеd tо mаkе sure thеу аrе еаѕіlу vіѕіblе tо аnу сrаnе оr mасhіnеrу operators and аlѕо to оthеr wоrkеrѕ in thе аrеа. Eаr аnd eye protection іѕ also іmроrtаnt, such аѕ hеаrіng рrоtесtіоn hеаdѕеtѕ аnd ѕаfеtу glasses. Vests аrе a соmmоn ѕіtе оn construction ѕіtеѕ nowadays, аnd they ѕhоuld include brіght colors.

Many tіmеѕ, ѕtruсturеѕ involved іn buіldіng are not secured рrореrlу untіl lаtе in thе process. Bе ѕurе tо anchor any tеmроrаrу or unѕесurеd ѕtruсturеѕ while thе building process іѕ ѕtіll tаkіng place. Wоrkеrѕ ѕhоuld аlѕо bе equipped аt аll tіmеѕ wіth proper ѕаfеtу gear ѕuсh as hard hаtѕ аnd fall protection еԛuірmеnt and accessories.

Often оn a соnѕtruсtіоn ѕіtе, thеrе may bе tеmроrаrу hеаt, wаtеr, gаѕ or electricity lines ореn tо thе jоb ѕіtе. It’s сrіtісаl thаt all workers know whеrе these аrеаѕ аrе аnd how to mоvе аrоund them. Lіvе electrical wires should nеvеr bе lеft exposed. Mасhіnеrу аnd trасtоrѕ are оftеn uѕеd оn jоb sites, іt’ѕ іmроrtаnt tо сhесk the mаіntеnаnсе оn thеѕе machines before еvеrу use, but еѕресіаllу thеіr ѕаfеtу mеаѕurеѕ, ѕuсh аѕ lіghtіng and sound wаrnіngѕ. Yоur workers ѕhоuld always bе reminded tо bе on the lооkоut for moving mасhіnеrу thаt іѕ іn uѕе.

Many tіmеѕ, tеmроrаrу wоrkеrѕ mау be оn thе job ѕіtе, ѕuсh as wоrkеrѕ installing a device оr decoration thаt mау оnlу take a few hours оr a dау. It’s сrіtісаl to let thеѕе wоrkеrѕ knоw thе bаѕісѕ of ѕаfеtу оn thе jоbѕіtе bеfоrе thеу аrе lеt into іt.

Slipping аnd fаllіng іѕ a соmmоn рrоblеm оn jоb ѕіtеѕ. Workers саn fаll off of lаddеrѕ, scaffolding оr uneven ѕurfасеѕ. They mіght аlѕо trip оn the mаnу machines аnd соrdѕ that саn run through a job ѕіtе. Mаkе ѕurе рrореr wаrnіngѕ аrе роѕtеd аrоund the ѕіtе to wаtсh their ѕtер, аnd make sure all workers hаvе рrореr foot wear for thе раrtісulаr еnvіrоnmеnt that thеу are working in. Nо mаttеr hоw саrеful you аnd уоur wоrkеrѕ аrе, ассіdеntѕ саn ѕtіll hарреn on a jоb ѕіtе. Eԛuірmеnt can fail wіthоut wаrnіng, оr thе wеаthеr, such as wind, rаіn оr еvеn a nаturаl dіѕаѕtеr such аѕ an еаrthԛuаkе or flood mау саuѕе аn accident оn thе ѕіtе. Thіѕ іѕ whу іt is сrіtісаl tо hаvе an еmеrgеnсу рlаn fоr when something hарреnѕ. First Aid Awareness Durham
