What is Limbic ADHD?

The type of ADHD which is the hyperactive type is treated best with amphetamines which seem to calm the child or adult down so they can focus and concentrate. Limbic ADHD treatment is treated with antidepressants like Wellbutrin, because the symptoms are opposite of the hyperactive type. The Limbic ADHD person appears depressed, has lack of energy and low levels of enthusiasm or the zest for life. Emotions and behavior are based in the limbic section of the brain so if someone has an imbalance in this area and were given stimulants they will become much worse, not better and they would appear to have chronic depression, have a gloomy disposition and have a negative outlook. They can have problems coping with stress, sleeping too much or too less, and simply have no drive. Children with limbic ADHD have issues more with anger and can be very short-tempered.
Instead of using antidepressants as a limbic ADHD treatment or any other type of ADHD prescription drug like Ritalin for other types of ADHD, try some other alternatives. I have heard from many people who did not want to try prescription drugs, so they have used diet and homeopathic remedies after a teacher said that their child was constantly disrupting the class, or headed for special education classes, which many moms know they don't need. Yes, some children may need prescription drugs but many do not and the results are truly amazing with homeopathic remedies.
Your child may not have limbic ADHD or ADHD at all. Many moms figure anything is worth a try besides prescription drugs. If you'd like to narrow done your research make sure you get products from a reputable homeopathic pharmacy. Reputable pharmacies will be approved by the FDA to insure high standards for the products they produce. So whether you child needs a limbic ADHD treatment, a hyperactive type ADHD treatment, or a product to help them focus; give natural remedies a try.
