ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children. According to the Indian Journal of Psychiatry (2023), ADHD affects nearly 11% of school-aged children in India. The disorder can impact learning, behaviour, and emotional well-being, making everyday tasks overwhelming for the child and parents.
At Dr Batra’s®, we understand that every child is different. Our homeopathic approach to ADHD is gentle, non-habit-forming, and tailored to your child’s unique emotional and physical needs. Early diagnosis and personalised treatment can make a lasting difference in your child’s focus, confidence, and quality of life.
What Is ADHD in Children
ADHD is a condition that affects a child's brain development and self-control. Children with ADHD often show signs of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. These behaviours are more severe, frequent, and disruptive than other children of the same age.
There are three types of ADHD:
- Predominantly Inattentive
- Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive
- Combined Type (most common)
ADHD is not caused by bad parenting. It is linked to genetics, brain structure differences, and chemical imbalances. The symptoms usually begin before age 12 and may continue into adolescence and adulthood.
Global Insights from a study by PubMed
A PubMed study on 83 children (aged 6–16) found that personalised homeopathic treatment significantly improved focus, reduced impulsivity, and enhanced attention in ADHD patients, with lasting benefits
