Homeopathic Treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is a neurological condition that affects individuals’ ability to focus, stay organized and control impulsive behaviours. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed in childhood and can persist into adulthood, affecting daily life activities such as education, work and relationships. There are mainly 3 types of ADHD: Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive, Predominantly Inattentive, and a combination of both types.

Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The primary symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Inattention can manifest as difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness and a tendency to lose things. Hyperactivity may include excessive fidgeting or restlessness, an inability to sit still and difficulty with staying on task. Impulsivity may present as acting without thinking, interrupting others or speaking out of fun.

Causes of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The causes of ADHD are not entirely understood, but research suggests that genetics play a significant role. Additionally, environmental factors such as exposure to toxins or early childhood trauma may increase the risk of developing the condition. ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation that includes medical history, physical examination and assessments of behaviour and cognitive function.
