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.

Dr. Sharma,
My 7 yr. old grandson has Epilepsy. He was diagnosed approximately 2 years ago. He has been with me now for about 8 months. He just had another MRI done on his brain and there is now global damage instead of just one spot as seen on his first MRI. I have dealt with feeces smearing dedicating and wetting his pants and now he’s got pretty much every sign of ADHD. Yesterday hehe came home and started repeating every sentence he said. He is constantly doing and saying things he’s been told are bad. He has seizures every night and is going in for an implant this month to reduce his seizures. All meds have been exhausted. My biggest concern is dealing with his behavior. He doesn’t stay still and babbles constantly. Is this all due to his epilepsy and his brain damage or could he also have ADHD? I’m desperate to find a way to deal with this. Can you just suggest where to go from here? His teachers are also getting frustrated.
Hello Sir,
Please my son of 3yrs 7months has the above symptoms, what do I do.
Thanks.
My daughter is 6yrs. Old and she has all the symptoms listed above. Constantly on the move never ever slows down. She is never tired. I wake her up at 7:30am for school. She has to be at school by 8:45. It is now 9:38pm and her mom is still trying to get her to sleep. Her behavior is bad. Can’t really focus on anything for any amount of time. Some of this is probably manipulation but we just don’t know what to do. I think she has ADHD. Recently we moved now she’s in a new school. At the old school we took her to her Dr. He could see the signs as we were explaining to him. He gave us forms for us and her teacher to fill out. Her teacher had these forms for 2 months didn’t fill them out. It has gotten worse what should we do.
My son 7 year old so please ADHD control idea any tablet ya other any solution
