( commentary under the cut )
And the article? But I did everything right!
This is regarding Lower Dopamine Receptor Density in children. Reserachers have been studying the effects of dopamine for some time, and a study came out back in December which stated that people with lower DRD have difficulty learning to avoid things that gave them trouble in the past. In essence, these people don't seem to learn from their mistakes....
The newer study found that approximately 30% of children seem to be born with LDRD. (I'm just using the acronym because I'm lazy). The effects of this? Well, they can't learn from their mistakes. These are quite often the kids who keep getting in trouble, over and over, usually with the exact same problem--no matter what their parents do...
The upside of this seems to be that children with this condition survive abusive homes with comparative ease. The downside is that other children with this condition go on to disrupt good homes with comparative ease.
It's an interesting thought....and I'm certain more study will have to be done in this area....
