Addressing ADHD the Natural Way

ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and ADD (attention deficit disorder) can create a variety of problems for children both at school as well as at home. It is often also difficult for these children to be understood by their peers and teachers and they may struggle to learn at school. By asking a few questions you should be able to identify whether your child may need further intervention and possible diagnosis of ADD and ADHD.

What is ADHD?

According to (Professional Group for Attention and Related Disorders,1991) ADHD [ A.D.D. OR ADHD ] is a neurobiologically-based developmental disability estimated to affect between 3-5% of the school age population. This can be due to genetic factors, an imbalance in chemicals or a deficiency in certain neurotransmitters. ADD is often characterised by a “dreamy child” who has an inability to focus, is forgetful, vague and indifferent. ADHD is often characterised by hyperactivity, impulsiveness, aggression, restlessness and a short attention span. There are 3 different sub-types of AD/HD and these involve a predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type behaviour, inattentive type behaviour or a combination of behaviours.
What are the signs of ADHD?

What is important to note is that any of the signs listed below must be present for at least 6 months or longer, as well as persist across settings (i.e. home and school)

Inattention
– May fail to give close attention to detail in school work, work or other activities
– Gets easily distracted by external factors
– Has difficulty keeping attention for a long period of time
– Doesn’t seem to listen when spoken to directly
– May have difficulty organising tasks and activities
– May resist activities that involve sustained periods of mental stimulation
– May not follow through on instructions

Hyperactivity
– Seems very fidgety all the time
– Is constantly on the go and talks excessively
– May leave his/her seat when he/she is expected to sit

Impulsivity

Knowing which signs and symptoms to look out for will really help you to understand whether your child has ADHD/ADD. If you feel that they may be struggling with ADHD it’s important to seek professional help such as with a developmental paediatrician, child psychologist, child psychiatrist, or paediatric neurologist to discuss the options available.

Clinicians using Homeopathy for ADD/ADHD have reported fantastic results and studies published by the British Journal of Homeopathy have shown that children taking homeopathic medicines showed significantly less ADHD behaviour in just 10 days.
