An alarming number of adults are being diagnosed as having adult attention deficient disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Symptoms can include short attention span, impatience, distraction, and forgetfulness. One might constantly miss or be late for scheduled appointments, feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, express emotions in unhealthy ways, misuse stimulants or depressants. Neuro-muscular involvement is common such as impulsive/compulsive actions—repetitive touching, teeth grinding, even restless legs.
Adult ADD/ADHD is thought to be a chemical imbalance in the management systems of the brain. There are many theories about causes including vaccinations, life traumas, PTS, systemic yeast infections, artificial additives in foods, electromagnetic fields, and environmental toxins.
Medications may not be the best choice. Side-effects can interference with sleep, appetite, or sexual function. Often multiple medications are given to counteract side-effects. A healthier option might begin with strengthening the family environment. Creating a support system. Eliminate over-processed foods, sugar, and caffeine. Consider seeing a Professional Certified Homeopath to help redirect and restore balance.
Homeopathy is a natural, individualized approach utilizing small amounts of natural substances, called remedies, which activate the body’s self-healing response. Two remedies a homeopath may consider are Stramonium or Arsenicum album. After taking Stramonium a person is no longer tormented from the inside; can easily give up stimulants and experience improved sleep. Arsenicum can help a person overcome impulsive/compulsive behavior such as frequent hand-washing, over concern for small details, and eliminate leg weakness and trembling. The correct remedy is important. A qualified homeopath is trained to make the correct remedy choice.
