ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and can affect all ages and continue into adulthood. This is a mental disorder that is commonly diagnosed in children if they are hyperactive but not able to control their impulses. They may also have trouble with paying attention both in school and at home. For many doctors it is easier for them to try different medications to find one that works but there are other natural ADHD treatments Monmouth County that can be tried. The reasons that some parents are opting for treatmens that are more natural is that medications used to treat ADHD can have undesirable side effects. The medication that is used can help to improve the symptoms by balancing and enhancing neurotransmitters. These chemicals carry signals between the neurons in your body and brain. The medications can help improve a child’s concentration but could cause some serious side effects such as: - Mood swings
- Heart problems
- Problems with sleep
- Loosing their appetite
- Having suicidal thoughts or actions
Natural ADHD treatments - Avoid food preservatives and coloring—it has been found that certain food preservatives and colorings can increase a child’s hyperactive behavior. You should avoid sodium benzoate, D &C yellow #10, FD& C yellow #6, FD & C red #40, and FD & C yellow #5
- Consider your child taking a tai chi or yoga class—it has been reported that it can help with social problems, hyperactivity, and anxiety, especially in boys. For teenagers, taking tai chi classes it can help them daydream less along with displaying less inappropriate emotions
- Avoiding allergen potentials—if you are not sure your child has any food allergies you can have their doctor do allergy tests or experiment first at home by avoiding certain foods. They can include eggs, milk, foods that contain salicylates, have chemical preservatives or additives like BHT, or chocolate.
- Do parental or behavioral therapy—if the child has a severe case of ADHD this type of therapy can help. In younger children with ADHD, behavioral therapy should be the first step that is used to treat them. It helps to resolve certain problematic behaviors along with offering solutions to help prevent them from happening. One thing is to set up goals and rules, as these two things go together when using this type of therapy. Parental therapy is when the parents are provided with the things they need to help the child with their ADHD.
