Cognitive – Difficulty in focusing, forgetfulness, short attention span, learning disability.

Mood – Anger, anxiety, excitement, depression.

Positive Homeopathy’s SPECIALITY in dealing with ADHD:

Conventionally there is no cure for it. Treatments include medication and talk therapy. A study published by the homeopathic journal in Oct 1997 reported that children who were put on homeopathic medicines displayed significantly less ADHD behavior. No homeopathic remedy should be taken without consulting a certified homeopath.

The homeopathic medicines found most helpful for ADHD are:

  • Stramonium worked well for children who had many fears or suffered symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.
  • Cina benefited children who were physically aggressive.
  • Hyoscyamus Niger was found helpful in children who expressed maniac or sexualized symptoms.

If Ignored Where the disease may lead the patient to?

Not getting treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect more than just a child’s ability to sit still.In some cases, it can have long-term effects on things such as substance abuse, driving ability, and eating habits. In many cases, the risks of not treating ADHD outweigh the potential side effects of stimulant medications, which can include loss of appetite, potential slowing of growth in childhood, and increased blood pressure or heart rate.

What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 11 percent of school-age children.

There is no single test to diagnose ADHD. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to establish a diagnosis, rule out other causes, and determine the presence or absence of co-existing conditions.
