Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin. I'm Blocko and I'm Mayim Bialik.
大家好!欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想。我是宝高,我是马伊姆·拜力克。
You might know me from my YouTube Channel or as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory!
你可能在我的YouTube频道上见过我,或者在《生活大爆炸》中见到过我扮演的艾米·法拉·福勒!
As we were hanging out with our friend Circlia today, we started talking about why she used to have some trouble back in high school with paying attention in classes and staying organized.
今天我们和朋友Circlia一起出去玩的时候,开始讨论她为什么中学的时候在课堂上难以集中注意力,做事也没有条理。
Being the amazingly cool person that she is, she told me all about her medical condition that some of my human friends might know about; ADHD. So, Mayim, what is ADHD?
她非常酷,告诉了我她的病情,我的人类朋友可能知道:多动症。那么,马伊姆,什么是多动症?
ADHD, or Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a brain disorder that's identified by levels of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that are considered atypical.
多动症(ADHD)或注意力缺陷多动障碍(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD)是一种大脑疾病,主要表现为异常的注意力不集中、冲动和多动。
It's seen as a childhood condition that often continues on into adulthood.
通常认为这是一种童年出现的状况,经常会持续到成年。
ADHD's inattention refers to a person wandering off task, not being very organized, or having a hard time staying focused.
多动症的注意力不集中指的是一个人做事走神,没有条理,或者很难集中注意力。
Hyperactivity is when a person doesn't seem to stop moving, or excessively fidgets or talks.
过度活跃是指一个人活动起来停不下来,或者过度紧张,或滔滔不绝地说话。
Impulsivity is shown when a person makes quick decisions without thinking them over, especially if the impact of the decision is significant.
冲动表现在一个人没有仔细考虑就快速做出决定,尤其是当这个决定的影响重大的时候。
But just because you may relate to these traits of ADHD, that doesn't mean you have ADHD yourself.
但具有多动症的这些特点,并不意味着你患有多动症。
It can be common to have times of inattention, sporadic motor activity, or even times of impulsivity, but for most people with ADHD, these times are far more severe and frequent.
注意力不集中、偶发肌动活动、甚至冲动都很常见,但对于大多数多动症患者来说,这些症状出现的时候要严重得多,而且频繁得多。
For people with ADHD, these symptoms likely interfere with and reduce the quality of their social life or affect their performance at school or the workplace.
对于多动症患者来说,这些症状可能会影响和降低他们的社交生活质量,或者影响他们在工作学习中的表现。
It's probably more likely you don't actually have ADHD, since the CDC found in a 2011 study that only around 11% of United States school-aged children were given an ADHD diagnosis by a healthcare provider.
更有可能的是你实际上并没有多动症,因为疾控中心在2011年的一项研究中发现,只有大约11%的美国学龄儿童被医疗机构诊断患有多动症。
Interestingly enough, they also found that the rate of ADHD diagnosis was about double for high school boys as it was for high school girls.
有趣的是,他们还发现高中男生的多动症诊断率是高中女生的两倍。
Keep in mind though, these are rates of people being professionally diagnosed, which may or may not be the same as occurrences of ADHD.
但是请记住,这些是人们接受专业诊断的比率,这些比率可能是,也可能不是多动症实际发病的比率。
It's possible for people to suffer from ADHD, especially with milder cases, and not be properly diagnosed.
有些人患有多动症,尤其是病情较轻的,可能不能得到正确的诊断。
While there is no cure, treatments like medication and psychotherapy can help to reduce the symptoms of ADHD and improve a person's life.
虽然没有治愈方法,但药物和心理疗法等疗法可以帮助减轻多动症的症状,改善病人生活。
Medication for ADHD is usually in the form of a stimulant, which works by increasing chemicals in the brain like dopamine that aid in thinking and staying focused.
治疗多动症的药物通常是一种兴奋剂,它的作用是增加大脑中的多巴胺等化学物质,帮助思考和集中注意力。
Psychotherapy is often in the form of behavior therapy and can help in changing a person's behavior.
心理疗法通常采用行为疗法的形式,可以帮助改变一个人的行为。
This is done in ways such as helping a person finish their work, organize tasks, or cope with emotional situations.
这种方法帮助人完成工作,组织任务,或者处理情绪,以实现治疗。
Both of these types of treatment combined were how my friend Circlia was able to overcome her condition and manage it the best she can. She is just great, you know. Anyway.
这两种治疗方法结合在一起,我的朋友Circlia就是这样战胜疾病并做到最好。她太棒了,你知道的。
A recent study also found that exercise might be able to help with ADHD symptoms too.
最近的一项研究也发现,锻炼也可能有助于治疗多动症的症状。
Looking at younger children, researchers found that regular bouts of 30 minute exercise sessions led to improved attention and mood in the participants.
研究人员在观察年龄较小的儿童时发现,定期进行30分钟的锻炼会提高参与者的注意力,改善其情绪。
Exercise might not be a powerful enough treatment to use on ADHD all by itself, but it seems like it can be helpful when used with other methods.
运动可能疗效并不强,不可以单独使用,但它与其他方法一起使用时似乎很有用。
And since the CDC reports exercise can do wonders such as help control your weight, improve your mood, reduce the risk of some cancers, and increase your bone and muscle strength, it's probably a good idea to get moving anyway!
疾病控制中心的报告显示,锻炼可以创造奇迹:比如帮助控制体重、改善情绪、降低患某些癌症的风险、增加骨骼和肌肉强度,无论如何,这都是个好主意。

And if you're interested in watching more of my videos, I have a channel here on YouTube and I recently discussed how dope DNA is! Check it out!
如果你有兴趣看我更多的视频,我最近在YouTube上上传了一个频道,讨论了DNA有多酷!点击这里查看详情!
Inside every single cell of our bodies, there's a core called the nucleus and inside of that core is DNA.
在我们身体的每一个细胞里,都有一个核心叫做细胞核,在这个核心里面是DNA。
DNA is a kind of code and amino acids are the output of that code and they determine your genetic makeup.
DNA是一种密码,氨基酸是密码的产物,它们决定了你的基因组成。
