Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder
Ø
Does your child have trouble
paying attention?
Ø
Does he or she talk non-stop or
have trouble staying still?
Ø
Does your child have a hard time
controlling his or her behaviour?
For some children, these may be
symptoms of attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
What is
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD?
ADHD is a common childhood
disorder, and it may affect children differently. It makes it hard for a child
to focus and pay attention. Some kids may be hyperactive or have trouble being
patient. ADHD can make it hard for a child to do well in school or behave at
home.
Who can get
ADHD?
Children of all backgrounds can
have ADHD. Teens and adults can have ADHD too.
Causes of ADHD
No one knows for
sure. ADHD probably comes from a combination of things. Some possibilities are:
- Genes,
because the disorder sometimes runs in families
- Lead
in old paint in and plumbing parts
- Smoking
and drinking alcohol during pregnancy
- Certain
brain injuries
- Food
additives like artificial colouring, which might make hyperactivity worse.
Some people think refined sugar
causes ADHD. But most research does not support the idea that sugar causes
ADHD.
Symptoms of
ADHD
ADHD has many symptoms. Some
symptoms at first may look like normal behaviours for a child, but ADHD makes
them much worse and occur more often. Children with ADHD have at least six
symptoms that start in the first five or six years of their lives.
Children with
ADHD may:
- Get
distracted easily and forget things often
- Switch
too quickly from one activity to the next
- Have
trouble with directions
- Daydream
too much
- Have
trouble finishing tasks like homework or chores
- Lose
toys, books, and school supplies often
- Fidget
and squirm a lot
- Talk
non-stop and interrupt people
- Run
around a lot
- Touch
and play with everything they see
- Be
very impatient
- Blurt
out inappropriate comments
- Have
trouble controlling their emotions.
How do I know
if my child has ADHD?
Your child's doctor may make a
diagnosis. Or sometimes the doctor may refer you to a mental health specialist
who is more experienced with ADHD to make a diagnosis. There is no single test
that can tell if your child has ADHD.
Sometimes it can be hard to
diagnose a child with ADHD because symptoms may look like other problems. For
example, a child may seem quiet and well-behaved, but in fact he or she is
having a hard time paying attention and is often distracted. Or, a child may
act badly in school, but teachers don't realize that the child has ADHD.
If your child is having trouble
at school or at home and has been for a long time, ask his or her doctor about
ADHD.
How do
children with ADHD get better?
Children with ADHD can get
better with treatment, There are three basic types of treatment:
- Medication.
Sometimes allopathic medications cause side effects, such as sleep
problems or stomach-aches. It's important that you and your doctor watch
your child closely while he or she is taking medicine.
- Therapy. There are
different kinds of therapy. Behavioural therapy can help teach children to
control their behaviour so they can do better at school and at home.
- Medication and therapy combined.
Many children do well with both medication and therapy.
How does ADHD
affect teens?
Being a teenager isn't always
easy. Teens with ADHD can have a tough time. School may be a struggle, and some
teens take too many risks or break rules. But like children with ADHD, teens
can get better with treatment.
What can I do
for my teen with ADHD?
Support your teen. Set clear
rules for him or her to follow. Try not to punish your teen every time he or
she breaks the rules. Let your teen know you can help.
Can adults
have ADHD too?
Many adults have ADHD and don't
know they have it. Like ADHD in children and teens, ADHD in adults can make
life challenging.

Homeopathy medicines works well
in child and adult ADHD along with other therapies.
