ADHD Tips

ADHD is a common behavioural disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-age children. ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, too much sugar, or vaccines. It is diagnosed approximately three times more often in boys than in girls. ADHD is often called “the benevolent diagnosis.” There is strong evidence to support the fact that it is very likely caused by biological factors which influence neurotransmitter activity in certain parts of the brain, and which have a strong genetic basis. The condition is characterized by poor concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, impulsiveness.

Symptoms of ADHD- Identifying Hyperactive Kids

Symptoms include excessive worry, fear, or panic, which can also lead to physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, stomach pains, and diarrhoea. Symptoms of inattention are: often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities, often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities, often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly ,often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace. Other symptoms include difficulty in organizing tasks and activities and often loses things necessary for tasks or activities. Impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity can also be present and seem to be inheritable. These latter symptoms must be severe enough to cause impairment in the daily functioning of the person in at least two settings: at home, in school, in the community or in the workplace. Symptoms of stress, anxiety, or depression may produce behavioural disturbances resembling ADHD. The good news is, with proper treatment, children with ADHD can learn to successfully live with and manage their symptoms.

How To Live With ADHD

Treatment strategies such as rewarding positive behaviour changes and communicating clear expectations of those with ADHD have also proven effective. Clinical experience has shown that the most effective treatment for ADHD is a combination of medication (when necessary), therapy or counselling to learn coping skills and adaptive behaviours, and ADD coaching for adults. Treatment rates are much lower for selected groups such as girls, minorities, and children receiving care though public service systems.

Conclusion- Coping With ADHD

ADHD is certainly not a death sentence. ADHD is not the result of “bad parenting” or obnoxious, wilful defiance on the part of the child. ADHD is known to occur in various cultures and in individuals from all socioeconomic levels. Neither is it the result of a family stress, divorce, excessive TV viewing or video game playing, or diet, although some of these factors can exacerbate a pre-existing condition. ADHD is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, usually a child psychiatrist or paediatrician. While ADHD is not curable (at the moment), the good news is that ADHD is manageable. These children can learn to manage their symptoms, achieving a measure of success in their lives. The bottom line is ADHD is a medical disorder and it needs to be recognised and treated.

The medical and behavioral side effects of ADD medications such as Ritalin and Adderall have many parents searching for natural alternatives for their hyperactive children. While traditional medications can be effective, the risks are many, and reactions differ from child to child. As parents become disillusioned with prescription ADD medications or simply decide to try natural alternatives first, more and more are turning to natural ADD supplements. And as more natural medications are developed, more is known about the ingredients that are most effective in treating the symptoms of ADD.

Ginko Biloba is one of the best-known natural remedies for ADD. It helps to increase neurotransmitter levels and blood flow to the brain, which aids the brain’s ability to focus. One of the most positive qualities of Ginko Biloba is the tendency of its effects to become permanent, which eventually renders continued use unnecessary. This quality is emblematic of many homeopathic ingredients.

Brahmi is an herb that is believed to have many positive effects on the brain, including an ability to increase overall cognitive function. It can help improve your child’s ability to learn, and recent research shows it might have an additional benefit of protecting the brain from free radicals.

Gotu Kola, otherwise known as Centella Asiatica, is an excellent child ADHD treatment (and ADD treatment) and can reduce reduce your child’s anxiety level and augment his or her brain function. It also enhances memory and has been shown in studies to improve blood flow to the brain and general circulation.

Skullcap is an herbal remedy for ADD that is used to treat common symptoms like restlessness and agitation. It can also aid in combating insomnia.

St. John’s Wort is another natural supplement that should be taken long-term in order for its positive effects to become permanent. It should be used if your child is suffering from depression, insomnia, fear or anxiety.

All of these ingredients can alleviate many of the symptoms of ADD, and there are a variety of natural remedies, such as BrightSpark, on the market that combine some of the listed ingredients to produce successful results. Natural remedies are a predominantly safe and effective ADD treatment, and a popular alternative to prescription stimulants and other traditional ADD medications. Abruptly stopping prescription medication can be harmful to your child, so if you decide to take this step, consult your doctor before changing your child’s routine. Just as with traditional medications, it can take time for your child to feel the effects of natural supplements, and each child can react slightly differently. Hopefully, you will find that natural remedies have a positive influence on your child, and on your life.

Went to see my doctor today to be evaluated for ADHD. I was prescribed Adderall XR 20MD

I took my first pill (it’s a once a day drug) about an hour ago. So far so good. I’ve noticed some simple changes. First, I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in focus and concentration. I’ve also noticed some improvement in my speech (I’ve always known that some of my speech problems were ADD related)

I’ll probably be going in later or email my doctor later for a follow up.
