ADHD Doesn't Exist?


According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from the United States, an estimated 6.4 million children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Some people think that ADHD may be established by conventional medicine, but the symptoms of attention-deficit and hyperactivity are real for those individuals who often seek professional treatments because it affects their daily lives.

During my pediatric counseling practice in the past many years, I have noticed that many children who were diagnosed with ADHD are actually very creative from their genetic makeups; I speculate that their creative energy may not be directed properly during the formal education from our current schooling system, which can contribute to their ADHD symptoms. It makes me wonder maybe these children should receive special education to help channel their creative energy more effectively, they can be brilliant artists or excel in other creative works that help harmonize both spheres of the brain and reduce ADHD symptoms.

There are other ways that can help calm ADHD naturally and effectively, maybe we should explore the root cause of ADHD before dumping more drugs on children to suppress the symptoms.
