At a time like ours, when the issues of mental health and mental illness are gaining more and more importance and recognition, disorders like ADHD are also coming more and more to the fore. The multifaceted symptoms of ADHD often lead to those affected simply being labeled as too lazy or stupid, but for the most part they are not properly supported. Many affected people as well as parents surely know the problem: the concentration at school is missing and the easiest way to get better would be medication. Those who do not want that, rather look for natural methods and if you belong to it, then you are quite right here.

With natural methods, such as the individual spagyric mixtures from Zimply Natural, complaints can be treated and sustainably alleviated.

What actually is ADHD?

As a child, one or the other has certainly been called a fidgeter, but what few know is that this is the colloquial term for ADHD. Currently, it is assumed that up to 2-6 % of all children and adolescents suffer from ADHD, and the trend is rising. To briefly review the definition of ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can occur in all age groups and includes many symptoms. Sufferers can be very hyperactive and inattentive, making it difficult for them to find peace and quiet or concentrate well. They can also be very impulsive and so tend to act rashly. But what do you do once you have been diagnosed? What alternative treatments are available if you don't want to resort to chemical medications? In this blog post, we'll tell you the best tips and natural remedies that can help you or your child on the road to dealing with ADHD.

Causes and origin of ADHD

We would like to tell you why ADHD exists in the first place, but unfortunately the causes are not completely clear. What is known for sure is that genetics play a role. In addition, all influences that happen before, during and after birth are also significant, because these can influence the development of the brain. Here, for example, premature births, birth complications belong to it, harmful is also Smoking and the use of drugs during pregnancy. Researchers have found that such things can cause changes in brain regions that are especially important for attention and behavior control. It is also known that in ADHD, the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, especially dopamine and norepinephrine, is altered. This means that these two neurotransmitters in particular are not available in sufficient quantities and thus signals cannot be transmitted entirely without interference.

The most important thing about the symptoms

The most common signs of ADHD

As you have read before, the best known and most common symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. That is, your child is easily distracted and has difficulty concentrating, which is also accompanied by physical restlessness and fidgeting. In addition, acting quickly and making rash decisions can lead to an increased risk of injury and accidents. There are also other effects of the disorder, which of course do not apply to everyone, but can occur. People with ADHD can have major time management problems, suffering from what is called "time blindness." Here, they have a hard time estimating time correctly or keeping track of it. Another problem is overstimulation, as this can also occur frequently in everyday life. It is triggered, for example, by sensory stimuli such as light, sounds or smells. Now you may wonder if these problems will eventually go away or become easier for your child.

How do symptoms differ in different age groups?

ADHD can manifest differently at each age: while symptoms such as attention problems, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are more common in childhood, difficulties with organization and time management are more likely to occur in adulthood. The characteristics of ADHD also often change over time; for example, children and adolescents with the problems just mentioned may lose their hyperactivity, while their attention and impulsivity symptoms increase. At a young age, children may have trouble making friends or having general social interactions. This can continue well into old age. For adults, the consequences may include multiple career changes and deficits in social contacts.

What could be the possible consequences for everyday life?

Everyday life alone can be challenging if you suffer from ADHD. One of the biggest problems may be difficulty concentrating. Long and complicated tasks can often cause problems for your child, and while this can be limited at a young age, it can cause problems at work as an adult. It can happen that the routine of the job is too stressful and suddenly you are looking for another, much more exciting job. In addition, the difficulty in concentrating may cause you to miss signals on an interpersonal level. This could then lead to problems in communicating with others.

How is the ADHD diagnosis made?

If you are told by teachers or educators that your child is inattentive and has concentration problems, one of the first thoughts may be ADHD. But how does an ADHD diagnosis work and is it really meaningful? At the beginning of the examination, the doctor will talk to you and your child and tell you why you are there. This is followed by a physical examination to rule out other causes for the symptoms. Sometimes you will also be given questionnaires or other tests, or other people from your child's environment will be interviewed. This helps to include behavior at school or kindergarten. For a true diagnosis, certain criteria must be met, and there is a set guideline for these that the doctor can use as a guide. These also include the overriding themes of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

Tips for ADHD in everyday life

Organization is the key

Get up, get dressed, breakfast, school, homework, hobby, watch TV/read, sleep. This would be an example of an orderly daily routine. Children with ADHD can find it very difficult to keep a clear head, so a regular day and good organization is very important. This way, your child will always know when things are coming up and when they have time for other things. Calendars or to-do lists are also great ways to give your child a solid structure. In addition, you should make sure that tasks or activities are clearly stated, because statements that are not precisely formulated often make it difficult to process information.

Mindfulness training can really help

Mindfulness training and meditation are methods that have often proven effective and may also help your child. As you can probably already imagine: Mindfulness helps you to be mindful, that is, to focus on the present moment. This is of course beneficial for children with concentration problems. Such trainings can also help children in their emotion regulation, as they can improve their Emotions and learn how not to be overwhelmed by them. Impulse control can also improve as your child may simply pause before making a decision and think about whether that action is good or not.

Why movement is so important

In addition to well-deserved breaks, exercise is just as important a tool for children and teens with ADHD. While small breaks are relaxing and allow them to wind down, they are often very difficult to sustain because children's urge to move becomes prevalent. The best thing you can do about this is to give your child enough opportunities to move. Soccer, horseback riding, jogging, swimming - there's something for everyone, and sometimes a short period of exercise in which your child does jumping jacks or runs around in circles can help. Maybe you will find a new hobby here!

What role does the family play?

Everything can get too stressful and that's why it's all the more important to give children a Retreat to give when things get too much. The family plays an important role here, because acceptance and understanding are basic needs that must be met in order to create a safe space. Also, it can be very supportive for your child to know that the family is behind him/her and supportive. All of this together builds confidence and promotes healthy self-esteem. The structured and orderly daily routine we described above can also be supported by all family members. This optimizes the whole thing even more! Lots of exercise can of course also be supported by grandma and grandpa, whether through walks or the occasional swim.

FAQ: Questions and answers about ADHD

Are there different types of ADHD?

Yes, there are actually different types of Attention Deficit Hypersensitivity Disorder. These are the three main types: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and a combination of both. The first type is easily distracted, has trouble concentrating for long periods of time, and likes to be called a "dreamer," while the second type is very hyperactive, restless, and has not-so-good impulse control. The third type describes a combination of the first two, meaning that affected individuals can exhibit symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity as well as inattention.

What concomitant disorders of ADHD are known?

The accompanying disorders of ADHD can be very diverse. Due to the constant stream of thoughts and the concentration problems, excessive worry can occur, which can turn into a Anxiety disorder or depression can degenerate. In addition, even though ADHD is not a learning disorder, a learning difficulty may occur due to difficulties in the area of information processing. Sleep disorders can also arise because the stream of thoughts simply does not want to find an end and it is very difficult to come to rest. Those affected naturally know that they have ADHD even after a diagnosis and often look for ways to cope with the symptoms. Here they often resort to means of self-medication, which can mean an increased risk of addictive behavior.
