ADHD - Impacting Peoples Lives

No matter what the name attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity goes by (ADHD, AD/HD), there is no denying that symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity can't help but have a negative impact on a person's life. While it may be difficult to equate these symptoms to real life challenges initially, ultimately it becomes quite easy after evaluating the list of the six possible challenges listed below. The list of possible challenges is very long but six of the most common are:

 

*Underachievement

*Disorganization

*Emotional reactivity

*Problems with relationships

*Self esteem problems

*Depression

 

Those with ADHD often are operating at a level that could aptly be describe as running wide open while having a difficult time screening out trivial information and internal and external distractions without becoming flustered or frustrated. It is easy to see how emotional reactivity might occur under these circumstances. It is also easy to understand how disorganization combined with a feeling of losing control/or have lost control could be a regular part of the ADHD persons daily life.

 

While the symptoms may seem dire, it is a myth that just because you have ADHD you can't go to college, get a degree, or achieve great success. Nevertheless, the ADHD symptomatic personality may require additional help in managing and controlling their symptoms.  

 

The treatment most often suggested is prescription drug therapy consisting of stimulant medications. This category includes household names such as Ritalin and Adderall.  With over twenty million prescriptions filled annually it is not wonder that some experts are wondering whether these medications are being overprescribed. The glut of prescription medications and the potential side effect has led to a number of other natural treatment options gaining popularity. Among the long list of possible non-prescription options are diet, vitamins, repatterning therapies, and rebalancing therapies.

 

Among the most popular of the natural remedies is homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies for ADHD are part of the rebalancing therapy category which includes such complimentary treatments as manipulation (chiropractic), acupuncture, and sensory integration. Anecdotal evidence suggests that homeopathic remedies for ADHD can be very effective in treating such symptoms as hyperactivity, distractibility and impulsiveness. Homeopathic remedies have been around for over 200 years and considered to be a very safe option that can be used either in addition to conventional treatment or as a stand alone treatment. If you are looking for a natural treatment option this may be and area worth considering.
