If you think that the best ADHD remedy is the latest offering from the pharmacological brigade offering psychostimulants, then I think you are wrong.
There are various reasons for this.
One is that a psychostimulant can only adjust the brain chemicals a little bit.
All the rest has to be done through lifestyle changes, help with organizational problems, parenting support, diet, exercise and a host of other things which all impact on the child's body and mind.
The approach of using a band aid type of medicine is no longer valid and is fortunately coming to an end.
But let me tell you about the latest band aid so that you know what is in it.
This is an off label drug called Abilify and its main chemical is aripiprazole.
It was really designed for use with schizophrenic, psychotic and bipolar patients and it has not yet been officially approved by the FDA for ADHD.
Why on earth would we want to give our ADHD children an antipsychotic and antidepressant? We should be directing all our efforts at providing the best possible home environment that we can.
As I said, the best ADHD remedy is right under our noses.
There, right in our home where our child lives with us the parents and the siblings.
Let me give you some examples.
What is our child's room like? Maybe we need to get rid of clutter and organize boxes and storage.
ADHD kids respond and like order, structure and routine.
Let us think about the homework area which is free from distractions and comings and goings.
We need to buy them an exercise ball as movement will help them concentrate.
Every school should have these instead of desks! Maybe we are not present enough during homework to break down tasks and so on.
Also we could consider asking a student to act as a homework helper.
Generally the ideal home environment for an ADHD child is one where the routine is routine and there are no sudden changes.
Procedures, tasks, behavior issues are all known, explained, written down and everyone knows what is expected.
That is a great source of comfort to an ADHD child.
As he can barely cope with the ordinary tasks, flinging in sudden changes will upset him.
We should also have green time organized and reduce shopping trips to the mall where the statistical possibilities of experiencing a meltdown are quite high, I can assure you.
Organizing the home environment then is probably the basis for any treatment we decide.
Then we should consider getting help with parenting issues when they come up.
This sort of child behavior therapy is probably the best ADHD remedy there is on the planet.
That will reduce the need for medication.
