GIRISH MISHRA, KHHVSS N MURTHY, G. SINGH.


Abstract
Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood. ADHD is a serious public health problem, because of its large estimated prevalence, significant impairment in the areas of school performance, socialization, the chronicity of the disorder and the limited effectiveness of current interventions. However basic information about how the prevalence of ADHD varies by race, ethnicity, sex, age and socio-economic status remains poorly described. DSM-IV estimates the prevalence of ADHD to be between 3% and 5% among school-aged children. Community samples of school-aged children suggest a prevalence rate ranging from 4% to 12%. The condition is approximately 3 to 4 times more common in males (9.2%) than females (2.9%). However there is very little study on ADHD in India. Ayurveda has very holistic and effective approach for the management of various mental disorders. The herbal drugs Mandukparni (Centela asiatica), Madhuyashthi (Glycerhiza glabra), Guduci (Tinospora cardifolia), Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis) are the best four medhya (Charaka Chikitsa 1.3/30-31).6 Ghrita is considered to be medhya in most of the Ayurvedic literatures and by the virtue of Samskaranuvartan quality it takes all the qualities of drugs processed with it.

Key words: ADHD, Neurobehavioral, Chronicity, Ayurveda, Medhya ghrita.
