"ADHD Behaviors Improved with Homeopathy"
On January 30, 2023, Ms. S.G., a nine-year-old girl, visited the Life Force Homeopathy Thane branch with her mother and grandfather (Patient ID: 53633). A pampered single child, she was a third-standard student who always listened to her father. She has had an ADHD diagnosis for a year. She gets angry when someone contradicts her or doesn''t do what she says, and unless the wish is granted, the anger would last for three to eight hours. She would eventually feel regret. She would get impulsive and throw things from her hands at her mother during anger episodes. She displayed attention-seeking behavior; her legs would shake and she suffered from palpitations. She would get bored easily; she had stopped classes from continuing; her parents had put her in drawing and abacus classes, but she continued them after going for some days. She will stop attending those classes if she receives a reprimand from the teacher. She behaves well at school and is only irritable with her mother and grandparents. Since a year ago, when her father left for the UK for work, all symptoms have been triggered. She watches her mobile phone for 3-4 hours per day and eats only when the mobile phone is given to her. Her mother would go to school to teach, and her grandparents would look after her. She weighed 24 kg and had been underweight for a year, despite eating well and being an active child. Her lack of concentration has had a big impact on her social interactions and academic achievement.
Date: 13th July 2023- X-ray of dorsal spine showed: scoliosis of spine.
Her paternal grandfather is diabetic and hypertensive, and her paternal grandmother suffered from arthritis.
At Life Force Homeopathy, an associate doctor took a thorough case history. Dr. Rajesh Shah then thoroughly studied the case and recommended Calcarea phosphorica. Dietary recommendations were given along with blood investigations. The blood report showed a supplement deficiency, so supplements were suggested.
Follow-ups:
The initial follow-up took place on March 15, 24. The patient''s symptoms of ADHD significantly improved after beginning treatment at Life Force. Her mother reported there were three to four episodes of impulsive behavior and tantrums, but less leg shaking, improved anger and irritability by more than 50%, and improved playtime and interaction with grandparents.
According to the second follow-up on April 19, 2024, the patient''s condition had improved further in terms of anger and irritation, and one or two episodes of impulsive behavior while attending skating and dance classes had decreased. She felt more at ease interacting with others and having discussions now, and the palpitations had decreased even more.
At the third follow-up on September 27, 2024, the mother reported that there was a medication gap because she had undergone surgery for a mandibular cyst, but the mother informed that she was not acting impulsively; significant progress was reported by the patient. There was a 70% improvement in anger and irritability.
She was generally better at the fourth follow-up on November 15, 2024. She did get a little annoyed when things weren''t done the way she wanted them to. But she kept enjoying social interactions and kept up a positive rapport with her grandparents and relatives.
There were no episodes of impulsive behavior, mild anger, or irritation at the fifth follow-up on December 27, 2024. The patient had made impressive progress. Her anger was 90% better overall, with a notable decrease in fear and improved interpersonal communication. She had no trouble juggling her dance classes, skating, and other extracurricular activities. The mother''s attention-seeking behavior has significantly decreased.
Conclusion:
The above case demonstrates the efficacy of homeopathy in the treatment of ADHD in children safely without any side effects. The patient''s anger and attention-seeking behavior significantly decreased after receiving Life Force homeopathic treatment for a full year. She was much less afraid of people, which made it easier for her to interact with friends and family and manage classes and other extracurricular activities.
