“Attend”
can help in Cases of Adolescent Depression
Depression
is affecting our pre-adolescents, teens and emerging
adults at alarming rates, and escalating from
depression to desperation. According to 2006 research
by Harvard Medical School, people between the
ages of 15 and 24 now account for 14% of all suicides.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among
American adolescents.
Växa’s Attend safely
addresses a major cause for depression in youth
- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Attend is
a homeopathic medicinal formula specifically aimed
at supporting the function of the Central Nervous
System in people with ADD and ADHD (Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder):
Helps
the body’s ability to remain calm.
Helps
to reduce frustration and stress.
Helps
to re-focus attention and improve concentration
capability.
Attend's NDC# is 67514-0266-3

The
Stigmatic Effects of ADD/ADHD, Prescription Medication
Children and teens that are diagnosed with Attention
Deficit Disorders often have the added stigma of being
told they will not succeed like other children unless
they “shape up”. But ADD and ADHD are real
illnesses, not mere disobedience or disinterest. They
are malfunctions of the normally natural, balanced neurotransmitters
which are responsible for sending signals between the
brain and the body’s functions.
The longer the young person goes without being able
to correct their uncontrollable symptoms, the more discouraged
and depressed they may become. Unfortunately, the current
prescription medications handle the symptoms, not underlying
causes, and do so with more than a few detrimental side
effects. In TV ads, we hear that depression medications
can cause even more suicidal tendencies in teenagers.
Since their Reticular Activating System (the center
of consciousness) is involved, at the very least they
may walk around in a too-sedated state from the medicine.
But their depression, sadness (we must distinguish passing
sadness from the onset of depression) and feelings of
worthlessness or hopelessness can last for long periods
and begin to take over their lives. They begin to:
lose
interest in activities they once enjoyed
self-sabotage
relationships with loved ones and friends
turn
to drugs or alcohol to mask the pain
complain
of headaches (they are real) and avoid school or
homework

Safe, Natural Help before Depression Escalates Further
Attend does not to rely on a “symptom eraser”.
There is a task that must be accomplished rather than
just soothing symptoms – the brain has 100 billion
neurons that must be developed and 900 billion supporting
cells! Attend contains a combination of homeopathic
nutrients; ingredients that actually address the AD
individual’s neurochemical deficiencies to allow
replenishment of their “neural hardware”
and the brain’s Reticular Activating System –
which also controls memory and learning – to work
toward functioning properly.
There are various forms of adolescent depression, such
as dysthymia
- a mild but chronic depression which interferes with
a teen's ability to enjoy life, and cyclothymia,
a mild form of bi-polar disorder where the mood swings
from depression to high energy. For information on these
and more, see our article, Teenage
Depression.
Attend can help restore your pre-teen, teen or blossoming
young adult to their former fun-loving, capable selves
without the side effects of prescription drugs.

Strategy Pac, which partners Attend with Extress
for stress and Memorin+ for memory enhancement.
Caution: For any suspected or known illness or dysfunction,
always consult your physician for medical diagnosis and treatment first. Växa products

clearly printed on each label.
