Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying behavior’s (may act without thinking about what the result will be) or be overly active. It is normal for children to have trouble focusing and behaving at one time or another. However, children with ADHD do not just grow out of these behaviors. The cause and risk factors for ADHD are unknown, but current research shows that genetics plays an important role. Ayurvedic treatment with therapies aimed at improving brain function, enhance attention and mind calmness along with behavioral therapy, can be very helpful in ADHD.
