ATTENTION DISORDER An attention disorder is characterized by
having trouble paying attention and focusing on tasks, tending to act
without thinking and having trouble sitting still. This condition may
begin in childhood and can continue into adulthood. Attention deficit
disorders cause problems at school, work, at home and in relationships.
Sufferers find it hard to finish tasks, focus and organize. They often
forget things. For people with these symptoms and who
have an attention deficiency it may be wise to have an attention deficit
disorder test with your health care provider. There is no cure for ADD but
medication may help control the symptoms. There are several attention
deficit disorder medications which are normally stimulants. As with all
medications these may produce unwanted side affects. ADD help is available through your health
care provider. The treatments range from bio feedback to prescription
drugs. For those suffering with ADD disorder there are several natural
alternative options such as herbal treatments and homeopathic treatments. The ADD diet is also popular and in many
cases very effective. This diet eliminates food additives and sugars. It
replaces them with organic foods and herbs like Stevia, a sugar
substitute. Some herbs have been shown to be effective in the treatment of ADD. Ginkgo, Gotu Kola, Satint John's Wort, Skullcap and Stevia are all used with some success.
