What is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder in people and is characterised by inattentiveness, as well as hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It is a common ailment that starts in childhood but often moves on to youth and then onto adult age, as well. It affects school, work, social relationships, and love life. Rather than only relying on medications prescribed by conventional doctors, our society has to adapt to a more natural treatment style, such as Ayurveda, which focuses on all aspects of body and mind to achieve balance instead of relying on palliation of symptoms.

What Are the Causes Of ADHD?

Although studies have pinpointed several contributing biological causes for ADHD, Ayurveda recognises it as a vitiating factor, predominantly in the Vata dosha, which is responsible for the mind and the nervous system. This imbalance is likely to make focusing and sustaining attention difficult. From an Ayurvedic point of view, ADHD may be caused by several predisposing factors. These include the following:

Family History: Patients with a history of ADHD in their family or someone in their family who was diagnosed with ADHD or any other attention deficit disorder are at increased risk of developing this condition.

Dietary Intake: The dominance of tamasic (inert) foods in a person’s diet can include processed sugars and unhealthy saturated fat.

Environmental Stressors: Failure to manage stress, overstimulation, and a chaotic environment can lead to an increase in Vata dosha, which worsens the symptoms of ADHD.

Lifestyle Factors: Irregular sleeping patterns, lack of physical exercise, and lack of routine can make the condition more severe than usual.

Symptoms
