ADHD  (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental and  behavioral disorder in which a child or an adult consistently displays  certain characteristic behaviors such as inattention, hyperactivity, and  impulsive attitude. There was a time when children with ADHD were  abused to be naughty and dumb. However, now it is understood that they  call for special attention by parents, family members, teachers as well  as society. ADHD is one of the most common disorders among children  (3-5%) and often continues into adolescence and adulthood. It is more common in boys as compared to girls, the ratio being approximately 3:1.  ADHD is a brain-based disorder that affects millions of children. It is  related to functioning and behavioral skills. A combination of symptoms  like difficulty in concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior  are often indicative of ADHD.

Benefits of Homeopathy

Homeopathic  medicines for ADHD can be effective in treating it. Homeopathic medicines can help in controlling hyperactivity and improving  concentration (results can vary). Factors that affect the treatment of  ADHD with homeopathic medicines include the age at which the treatment  is started, the intensity (mild, moderate or severe) of the symptoms and  individual response of the child towards the medicines. Homeopathic  treatment for ADHD thereby depends on a number of factors. Many times,  parents who have already tried the drugs on their children turn to  alternative cures to avoid any side-effects and ensure a safer  treatment. Homeopathic treatments for ADHD offer several advantages over  other drugs and systems of medicine.
