ADHD…ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER

Attention Deficit Hyperactive disorder  ADHD
It is estimated that about 3-5 percent of all kids, have this disorder. Also the most unfortunate thing is that in many cases this disorder goes totally undiagnosed .The child is often mistaken as hyper-energetic kid or as just being more playful, but the reality is that many such kids suffer from a medical disorder known as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder or ADHD.

It is a common belief that only kids showing signs of physical hyperactivity have some problem related to this disorder. Well, this actually it is not the complete truth. Symptoms of consistent inattentiveness are also associated with this disorder. It is characterized by hyperactivity (physical), inattentiveness, and impulsivity

ADHD is a medical disorder which usually becomes evident in the preschool years or early school years. It is characterized by hyperactivity (physical), inattentiveness, and impulsivity

Kids having ADHD usually depict either of three patterns of behavior. Either they are more of the hyperactive type, which means that they are more physically hyperactive (constantly moving jumping running fidgeting squirming, having difficulty sitting in one place etc) or the ‘inattentive type’ (having difficulty in concentrating, easily distracted) or the ‘combined type’ (having symptoms of hyperactivity and inattention both).

Not all children who run and jump too much suffer from ADHD. It is very important to realize that for a child to be diagnosed with ADHD, certain criterion has to be met with also called as the DSM criteria, before a child can be said to be suffering from it.

Nobody exactly knows what causes ADHD. Recent researches point out the causes could be either neurobiological or genetical. Certain chemical levels in the brain have been found low (dopamine -a chemical that sends messages to the part of the brain involved in attention, movement and motivation). Increased levels of heavy metals (lead) in the body is also seen in some kids .The kind of parenting given to the child has no role in the causation of this disorder, although bad parenting can influence the severity of this disorder.

Implication of ADHD can have far reaching effects, with the schooling of the child taking the biggest hit. Poor performance in school due to ADHD can lead to a hampered self esteem in the child .ADHD can also lead to learning disabilities, defiant behavior ,conduct disorder(anti-social behaviour,stealing ,fighting), anxiety disorders and depression .

Severe forms of ADHD are difficult to differentiate from milder forms of autism, a careful approach is necessary in diagnosing and treating such forms. Such severe forms affect the child?s normal mental development .for example speech and cognitive skills can be markedly affected in such cases.

Homoeopathy for ADHD

Homoeopathy for treatment of ADHD is now being considered as an effective form of treatment in the western society where the prevalence and awareness of this disorder is much more. This is more so because of the great side effects produced by the medicine used in conventional system.

The safety and the lasting effects of homoeopathic medicines is what makes it as an effective choice. Homoeopathic medicines do not produce any sedating effect on the child. Also the improvement gained during the treatment is lasting. While treating the symptoms of hyperactivity and inattentiveness, homoeopathic medicines promote the overall brain development too. Another important aspect in homoeopathic treatment is that homoeopathy sees every case of ADHD as an individual case .This means that the medicine prescribed would be on the basis of the individual symptoms shown by the child. This approach in homoeopathy, gives it an advantage of treating the disorder naturally and effectively.

    I am about 32 years old and I think I suffer from this disorder. Even though never gone for a formal diagnosis, I have had all of the above symptoms since the time I can remember. I have a two year old boy and he too is extremely hyperactive and very physical. Though its quite early for me to comment on his status, I would like an appointment with you if possible.

    Regards.

  7. Alakananda says:

    Sir, My son is not interested to mingle with his age-group 3rd standard(6-8 yrs) friends nor able to communicate what he has in his mind with anybody. He is scared of everything even before anything happens. example: he fears rain would come, he gets drenched etc., even before he could sense that rain is coming. We doubt that he has some nerve weakness or muscle weakness but nobody is able to give us any right path. Please help.

  8. Vishal Singh says:

    Dear Sir,
    My son is 4.5 years old. Till abt 1.5-2 years, he use to eat everything like dal, khichadi, curd and other vegetables also egg and apple. Then he started taking only bhindi, arbi, karela and kadhi, but now for the last 6 months, he only wants bhindi and roti or paraatha or maggi. This is his diet but he likes milk very much. He is always jumping or turning, cant sit quietly, not interested in making friends, always fiddeling with things in car or elsewhere. Likes to go to school but not willing to take part in activities. His mother also likes only selected and rich n spicy food. I am a great fan homeopathy and need help from you in this matter.

    Thanks and Regards
    Vishal

    Dear Sir,

    This side is Deepak Here. My 5 years old nephew is having similar problems as many of the parents mentioned below like he does not listen, concentrate on some thing, doesn’t respond, even not eating food properly. He is very much impulsive. What ever we are restricting him, he is interested in same thing only. I believe he is understanding everything but does not want to work. In school he is interested only in fighting and hitting his friends. All we can say that interested in kind of destruction activities only. He speaks only starting of any words. Like he says “wa” instead of water, “mo” instead of mobile. We sent tried for child speaking therapy also but there also he is not performing well.

    We have shown him many doctors. Even to homeopathy doctors (Dr. Pankaj Bhatnagar, Delhi) also.But day by day he is becoming aggressive and impulsive. As I have seen that you are helping many of the parents, I would like to request you kindly give your suggestion.

    I am staying in Gurgaon and I will call my sister if you will suggest for council also. My sister is staying at Bilaspur Chhattisgarh.

    Kindly suggest.

  16. Mrs. Swagata Das says:

    Sir,

    My 9 yrs. old daughter is suffering from ADHD. She is taking inspiral sr(20 mg) regularly during school time as suggested by Child psychiatrist. As a result now there is no complain from her school, rather she is doing good in all school activites. But problem lies at home or in any social gathering or any public place when she is without the medicine. She doesn’t follow any instructions, very much talkative, impatient, easily inclined to strangers, some times talking very rudely and getting excited suddenly. She is undergoing treatment since 4 yrs. It may be mentioned that we have also gone through the Parenting Counselling. But apart from school activities(both in education and co curricular activities as she sings songs very well.) she has no improvement in her social behaviour. There fore I have three questions, 1) Is there any long term adverse effect of taking Inspiral SR regulrly? 2) In this regard how homeopathy can help ? and 3)Will it be completely curable? If yes, then approximately at what age?
    I shall be grateful if you please give me the reply.
