Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is becoming more common among adults, as well as children.
It is characterized by a lack of attention and commonly exhibited, short attention span and age appropriate hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.
There is often an impairment in one or more functional capacities, such as an middle ear infection or hearing impairment. If a child cannot hear properly, they may be distracted or uninterested in participating socially or in studies.
Low muscle tone, especially prevalent in boys, may cause discomfort and the inability to sit still.
Understandably, physical abuse can cause great emotional stress, and a child may come off as unresponsive, distant or distracted.
Sleep disorders and breathing problems may also attribute to behavior that is problematic. As well, there could be attention lapses caused by petit mal seizures, also known as absence seizures, where the child will move from one location to another with no purpose.
Diet is most often the answer and reducing carbohydrates and increasing quality protein and nutrition is helpful in the treatment of these disorders.
The cause of the disorder is unknown, and it affects boys more than girls (boys may be more hyperactive and girls more inattentive).
You may have decided to go the traditional or conventional medication, but it may be worth your while to give these herbal remedies a try for ADD and ADHD.
If they do suit your body systems, you may be saved a lot of the side effects that you may face with others. If the conditions are accompanied by stress and fatigue, you will want to add adaptogen herbs. When accompanied by signs of liver hyperactivity, such as frontal headaches, irritability, red or dry eyes, add liver relaxing herbs. This combination includes these properties and may be helpful for dealing with Attention Deficit disorders.
