Is Difficulty In Reading Caused By Problem In Brain?
Question: I saw a health program on TV and the doctor said that the problem some people have with not being able to read because they get too sleepy is due to something that is lacking in the brain. He held a plastic sheet of that looked like a goldish orange sheet that would help you be able to read. I cannot find a doctor that has heard of this
Brief Answer:
No specific treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Difficulty in reading is a common symptom and many people have this problme although the cause varies. It could be due to visual disturbances, inability to concentrate, ADHD, depression, reading disorder and many other causes. There is no " fit all" treatment available for difficulty in reading. If such a treatment was apparant then it would be a medical revolution and every doctor would have known about it. The fact that not many know, itself suggests that the treatment is not successful. Get evaluated to identify the cause and dont run after a miraculous cure.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
