Spectrum Disorder. Kids with Bipolar
Disorder can be irritable, angry, and emotionally very reactive, and their mood and behavior shifts unpredictably. Children with Autism may have some problems including difficulties with social interaction, rigid thinking and behavior, difficulties with language and communication, and difficulties with emotions.  Fortunately, brain science has drew attention to a promising new approach to therapy. Research has shown that our brains are capable of enormous change. It’s called neuroplasticity. This finding is giving rise to new solutions such as biofeedback that use this capacity for change to treat many psychological disorders or conditions. At the Brian & Mind

1. How do two halves of the brain operate independently? The theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. The left and right hemispheres of our brain process information in different ways.

Each individual perceives, conceives and processes information in a distinct fashion. But if…
