Question 1

What is the most effective treatment for ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Medication is the primary treatment for ADHD. But finding the right ADHD medication for a child may take some trial and error. What works at first may not do so well over time. When ADHD treatment is not carefully monitored, it is less effective and riskier. It can also cause unwanted side-effects which include loss of appetite, anxiety, dry mouth, moodiness, increase in blood pressure and trouble sleeping. To examine if a child has ADHD, a doctor or other healthcare professionals need to be involved. Homeopathic medicine for ADHD is derived from natural substances; it brings back the lost harmony in a gentle way, producing no complications or side-effects. Homeopathy stimulates a child’s immune system and thus does not suppress the condition. It offers long-term relief while making it easier for children to integrate into everyday social and school activities.

Question 2

Can ADHD be cured?

Accepted Answer

ADHD can’t be avoided or cured. But diagnosing it earlier and having a suitable ADHD medication and education plan; can help children with ADHD manage their symptoms.

While ADHD may not be completely cured, homeopathy can significantly decrease the associated symptoms. ADHD homeopathy treatment addresses the condition with smaller, safer doses of remedies causing no side-effects and which are non-habit-forming.

Question 3

How do you treat a child with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Parenting is as significant as other parts of ADHD treatment. The manner in which parents react can make ADHD better or worse.
If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD:
a)	Set clear expectations: Before going somewhere, talk with your child to spell out how you want him/her to behave. Put more energy into teaching your child what to do, rather than reacting to what not to do.
b)	Talk about ADHD: Don’t shy away from discussing ADHD with your child. Help children understand that having this disorder is not their fault and that they can determine ways to deal with the problems it causes.
c)	Spend some time together every day: Make time to talk and enjoy; relaxing, fun activities with your child — even if it's just for a few minutes. Give your child your full attention, compliment positive behaviors. Don't over-praise, but do acknowledge when your child does something good. For example, when your child waits for his/her turn, say, "You're taking turns so nicely."
d)	Your relationship with your child matters the most: Children with ADHD often feel that they're letting others down, doing things wrong or not being ‘good’. Protect your child's self-esteem by being patient, understanding and accepting. Build resilience by keeping your relationship with your child positive and loving.
Focus on teaching your child one thing at a time. Don't work on everything at once. Start small.

Question 4

What foods should be avoided with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Children with ADHD are more likely to be sensitive or allergic to specific foods. When they eat those foods, they often have a negative reaction. They may feel tired, itchy, nauseated or anxious. And that can make it harder than usual for them to focus or control their emotions and behavior. Overall, the best diet for children with ADHD, is the diet that’s best for all children.
All children benefit from reducing the amount of sugar they eat and drink. But limiting sugar is an especially good idea for children with ADHD. According to a study published in The National Center for Biotechnology Information, children with ADHD are at an increased risk of developing type-2 diabetes later in life.
Avoiding sugary foods and sodas can help them maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk. It’s also wise for children with ADHD to avoid caffeine. It may seem to increase their focus in the short term. But withdrawal from caffeine can make them particularly irritable. It is suggested to limit unhealthy saturated and trans-fats, rapidly digested carbohydrates and highly processed and fast food.

Question 5

What happens if ADHD is left untreated?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms will continue to be exhibited if ADHD is left untreated and people are left to manage them on their own. Children may struggle at school, home and in social situations and adults may struggle with work, education, interactions with friends and family and more. Untreated ADHD can make everyday life more challenging.

Question 6

I get complaints from teachers about my eight-year-old son being very inattentive in class and not sitting in one place, even for one lecture. Can you please help?

Accepted Answer

Your son might be suffering from ADHD. It is a common mental disorder that begins during childhood and can continue throughout teenage years and adulthood. Children with ADHD have trouble paying attention at school as well as home. It is not that they are not trying to concentrate; they just find it difficult to concentrate on studies. They may be much more active and/or impulsive than what is normal for their age. Due to this, they are sometimes seen as ‘difficult’ or perceived as having behavioural problems.
Your son needs proper treatment. Homeopathic medicines have been proven to improve attentiveness and academic performance in children. Our medicines are safe and have no side-effects.

Question 7

My six-year-old son is so restless that he just cannot sit in one place. He keeps running around the house and often ends up hurting himself. No amount of scolding or other ways are helping. How do I deal with this?

Accepted Answer

Your son might be suffering from ADHD. According to this condition, children find it difficult to sit in one place or focus on something for a long time. Because it is a medical condition, scolding is definitely not the solution. In fact, it might worsen the situation and he might react by being more aggressive and intentionally hurting himself.
On the contrary, praising or rewarding appropriate behaviour could work better. You can set up a chart of things to do or avoid and give your son a happy face or star each time he does something good or correct. You can give him a small gift after he collects five such stars. More importantly, you need to take medical treatment for your son. At Dr Batra’s™, we have a team of doctors who work extensively towards the treatment of ADHD. We also have senior paediatricians on our medical advisory board. Our homeopathic medicines have proved to improve child development and behavioural skills without any side-effects.

Question 8

Ever since my son was born, I have seen a sudden behavioural change in my daughter, who is six years old. She has become impulsive, and I have also started getting complaints from her daycare regarding her hyperactive behaviour. Can you please help?

Accepted Answer

Minor behavioural changes in the first-born are common after the arrival of a new-born. It is important for you to acknowledge the big transition your daughter is going through. All of a sudden, she has to share her parents' love and attention with someone else. The sudden behavioural change in her could be to get some attention from you, especially if it is already getting her more attention. Therefore, the first thing you should do is to make sure she feels loved.
Try to find a little time every day to spend one-on-one with her while the baby is sleeping or being cared for by someone else. Encourage other family members to do the same. This will give her some desperately needed positive attention. Help her with her homework, and find ways in which she can help you care for her little brother. Reassure her that you love her just as much as you always did. This might invoke positive changes in her behaviour, as it will be easier for her to accept her little brother as a part of the family.
If the problem still continues, please bring your daughter to one of our clinics. Homeopathy considers behavioural changes in children as important, because they can result in psychosocial disorders, anxiety disorders or even ailments like asthma and skin disorders because of the emotional turmoil they are going through.
We will evaluate her case and suggest a personalised treatment plan. Our homeopathic medicines will help her cope better with the emotional turmoil she is going through and help improve her behavioural skills.

Question 9

My eight-year-old son picks a fight with other children almost every day due to his aggressive behaviour. Most of his friends try to avoid him. Please help.

Accepted Answer

It can be embarrassing as well as frightening at times, when your child picks up a fight with other children. It can also be dangerous for him, as he might injure himself and also cause harm to other children. It is not uncommon for young children to engage in this type of behaviour during their growing years. However, when it becomes frequent or seems to be their consistent way of reacting to something they do not like, it is time for you to step in and help them change their behaviour.
The first step for you would be to understand the underlying reasons behind your child’s behaviour. The more you understand what is happening, the better you will be able to help him find other, non-aggressive ways to solve his problems.
It is also recommended that you get a medical consultation with our doctors to find out if your son is suffering from ADHD, which might be the reason for his aggressive behaviour. In that case, we will evaluate his condition and provide a customised treatment plan with safe, homeopathic medicines, which will help him reduce his restlessness, impatience and aggression. Our medicines will also improve his self-confidence, attention span as well as his overall quality of life.

Question 10

I conceived after 10 years of marriage. Living in a joint family, my daughter, who is seven years old today, is pampered by everyone at home. She has become increasingly hyperactive and gets aggressive at times. Is there a problem in our way of upbringing

Accepted Answer

Your daughter might be suffering from ADHD. It runs in families at times. It is likely that either you or your husband may have undiagnosed ADHD, which could be contributing to your daughter’s hyperactive behaviour. Very often, adults with ADHD are diagnosed when they find out their children have ADHD. However, this is not the case in all children diagnosed with ADHD. Please get a medical consultation with our doctors, who will evaluate your case and diagnose the cause of this abnormal behaviour. We will prescribe safe, homeopathic medicines that will help improve her developmental and behavioural skills.
Furthermore, ADHD is a problem that needs medical treatment as well as counselling, not just for the child but also the whole family. Along with the treatment, our doctors will also suggest a few simple tips, like establishing a structure for daily tasks that would make it easier for your child to succeed in completing certain tasks. In this way, your child would know what to expect and what they are expected to do. We will also help you with exercises and a diet routine beneficial for your child.
