Attention deficit hyperactive disorder  is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with A.D.H.D may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active. Signs and Symptoms It is normal for children to have trouble focusing and behaving at one time or another. However, children with A.D.H.D do not just grow out of these behaviors. The symptoms continue and can cause difficulty at school, at home, or with friends.

• daydreaming
• forget or lose things a lot
• fidget or restlessness
• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
• talk too much

Causes of A.D.H.D.

The cause(s) and risk factors for ADHD are unknown, but current research shows that genetics with environmental effect plays an important role. In addition to genetics, the other possible causes and risk factors are

• Brain injury
• Environmental exposures (e.g., lead)
• Alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy
• Premature delivery
• Low birth weight

Treatments

• In most cases, ADHD is best treated with a combination of behavior therapy and homoeopathic medication. No single treatment is the answer for every child and good treatment plans will include close monitoring, follow-ups and any changes needed along the way.
