Where Do You Go For Natural Alternative Approaches To Adhd?
Wondering whether your child has ADHD because of their behaviour
? Just received a diagnosis of ADHD for your child and wondering what the next step is? Perhaps you are a professional working with children who have ADHD?
Well a quick trawl of the internet will soon prove that here is a lot of medication being prescribed for children with this condition today. Unfortunately although some of these medications do work for a few people in so far as they are able to concentrate for longer and their time is more productive. Unfortunately, many people who try medications can find that their symptoms worsen or that the side effects from the medications are making life more difficult for them.
This is the point where so many people look into exploring the possibility of a natural alternative for ADHD. However unless you qualified in the field of alternative of complementary therapy can be a daunting task, finding out where to start with so many conflicting stories about what works and what doesn't.
Let me give you an example, a lot of people swear by the fact that taking nutrients has an effect on improving the behavioural symptoms of ADHD. Some work for some people, whilst other people swear blind that it is a waste of money and it won't work - so who do you listen to and where do you go? The story behind this one is that no- one really knows what causes ADHD and it is diagnosed through a checklist of symptoms over a period of time. It is important to bear in mind that lots of things can trigger the behavioural symptoms and not all of them are due to ADHD. Current thinking puts ADHD down to an imbalance in brain chemicals involving one particular chemical called dopamine. Drugs can be effective for some people, but it depends on the underlying causes of ADHD. Drugs can sometimes make things worse. What about vitamin and mineral tablets. Just looking at vitamins alone.... The quality of vitamins that you can buy will vary considerably. Some will just be chemical copies of what we find in nature. The body can't work as effectively with these as it can with the ones that are extracted from natural products which are organically sourced and are not damaged by heating in the extraction process. So there is a huge difference not only in the reasons why people show signs of ADHD,, but in the type of natural alternative you can chose to adopt. One therapy can be more effective than other therapies for different behaviour symptoms. So it is vital to try different techniques and record how they effect behaviour. The quality of the resources is also important as shown above.
