Patient discussion about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Q. I doubt whether homoeopathy works for ADHD? I was wondering whether I can try homoeopathy treatment for my son who is diagnosed with ADHD. He is 8 years old and is having hyperactive type of ADHD. All the medicines so far we have tried had shown some side effects in him. I want to give a try with homoeopathy. My wife tried with homoeopathy treatment couple of years back and got cure for her sinus. I doubt whether homoeopathy works for ADHD?

A. that is the key to your answer indridi,,,PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE ALTEWRNATIVE MEDS,...some companys that are not regulated can put any amount of an active compound in an product and say that it works wonders,..I suggest you buy it with an FDA approval on it,that way you know it has been tested,to do what it saids it does,I have no problem with alternative meds-IF-they have been tested by the medical communitie,and are of pharmaceutical grade......mrfoot56...peace

Q. What Is ADHD? I have heard parents talking about ADHD at my son’s school. What exactly is this syndrome?

A. I am a mother of 4 children, all of whom have been diagnosed with ADHD as was I. My youngest son and daughter took medication for ADHD (Adderall). I found that it made my son very zombie-like. He showed little to no emotion and when he did it was mostly anger and aggression. I spoke with his Psychiatrist and we adjusted his meds. This unfortunately did not work. But his psych. said that the benefits of the drug outweighed the bad side effects. I slowly weened him off the meds. It takes a lot more patience to get him to do his homework and an IEP (individual education plan) at school has helped a great deal. You can request this at any public school. My daughter on the other hand takes a very low dose of adderall and is doing just fine. They are both in counseling to learn how to deal with ADHD and are doing fine. I also think that this diagnosis is used way too much. It might be a symptom to a bigger problem or something stressful the child is experiencing.

Q. Is ADHD hereditary? I had ADHD as a young boy. Does this mean my children will have ADHD too?

A. Most doctors now believe that ADHD is hereditary. Environmental factors do not cause ADHD, nor is it a result of poor parenting skills or broken homes. There may be times when outside influences can result in symptoms that mimic ADHD, but the guidelines for diagnosing ADHD take this into account by controls such as the requirement that symptoms must be present in two or more areas of life and must have existed from an early age.
