Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is most common psycho neurobehavioral disorder of childhood affecting about 3-5 % of school aged children. It often continues into adolescence and can lead to a lifetime frustrated dreams and emotional suffering. To develop the overall personality and good future of children, it requires efficient learning capacities. For this purpose, a healthy mental status is required which is influenced by the mental disorders. In Attention deficit/ hyper activity disorder, the children with combine ADHD have inappropriate restlessness, behavioral and cognitive impulsivity and difficulty in paying attention. They have a hard time controlling their impulses and regulating their activity, attention, interaction to a degree consistent with relevant age and cultural norms. In Ayurveda, neither this disease nor the symptoms of ADHD are described but some references about abnormal behavior are discussed under features of Anavasthitachittatvam, Mano Vibhrama, Buddhi Vibhrama, Smriti vibhrama etc. Ayurveda holding a different view regarding the etiopathogenesis of disease can provide novel theory of ADHD and thus novel dimension to its management. This paper aims at highlighting the Ayurvedic perspective of ADHD and its management.
