ADHD/ADD and Homeopathy

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. Sometimes it’s referred to as attention deficit disorder. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD have trouble paying attention, may sometimes act without thinking about what the result will be, and, in some cases, are overly active.

Until recently it was believed that children outgrew ADHD in adolescence. This is because hyperactivity often diminishes during the teen years. However, we now know that many symptoms continue into adulthood. If the disorder goes undiagnosed or untreated, adults with the disorder may experience trouble at work and in relationships, as well as emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued guidelines to bring more clarity to this issue. The diagnosis is based on very specific symptoms, which must be present in more than one setting.

• Children should have at least 6 attention symptoms or 6 hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms, with some symptoms present before age 7. 
• The symptoms must be present for at least 6 months, seen in two or more settings, and not caused by another problem. 

• The symptoms must be severe enough to cause significant difficulties in many settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. 

In older children, ADHD is in partial remission when they still have symptoms but no longer meet the full definition of the disorder. 

Homeopathy has a lot to do for the child.

Homeopathy have many medicines for the complaint and careful case study can give you the correct remedies.
