ADHD & HOMEOPATHY

Abstract

Childhood hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental concerns encountered in clinical practice. It often presents with excessive restlessness, impulsivity, aggression, and poor adaptability in structured environments such as schools. This case report highlights the successful management of a 5-year-old male child presenting with hyperactive behavior, aggressive tendencies, and social difficulties.

The patient’s condition began around the age of 3 years, characterized by restlessness, destructive behavior, and violent tendencies toward peers, leading teachers to isolate him in class. Despite these behavioral challenges, the child demonstrated good attention span, academic grasping power, and a strong fondness for books. Notable family and antenatal history included maternal epilepsy with seizure episodes during pregnancy, preterm delivery, and a family history of hyperactivity (grandfather).

Homeopathic case analysis suggested tubercular miasmatic predominance. Based on totality, remedies including Tuberculinum, Tarantula hispanica, Chamomilla, and Alfalfa were prescribed at various stages. Over 12 months, the child showed remarkable improvement in hyperactivity (>90%), reduction in anger and aggression, enhanced school performance, better concentration, and improved general immunity.

This case highlights the importance of individualized homeopathic management in pediatric hyperactivity disorder, addressing both constitutional and acute dimensions, leading to sustained behavioral and systemic improvement.
