Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My family members told me to check for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). I never thought that I would have it, but now I believe that I have this condition because my brother told me about its signs and symptoms.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You might have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). There is non-pharmacological management for it. I suggest you try to follow few guidelines to deal with it: You should do exercises daily for 30 to 45 minutes. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily. Just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. It will help you relax and increase concentration. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk foods. You must drink enough water. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family. You should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments. You should take enough sleep daily. You must avoid tobacco or alcohol or any substance abuse.

Thank you.
