ADHD inattentive is one of the three sub-types of ADHD. Its manifestations are forgetfulness, procrastination, inattention, low concentration, lethargy and sluggishness. Children who are afflicted with this mental disorder are generally misunderstood by teachers and parents as irresponsible, immature, careless and lazy. This ADHD subtype is more common among girls than boys and usually goes undiagnosed because those who have it are not disruptive in school or at home. As a result, children who have the disorder and remain undiagnosed have higher chances of dropping out of school or failing in their academic endeavors.
Later in life those who have ADHD inattentive will most likely have problems in maintaining personally satisfactory relationships and keeping a good job. Growing-up burdened with negative labeling is likely to have a negative impact on children's self-esteem and could well result in the development of other mental- health disorders such as (but not limited to) promiscuity, anxiety and depression. The good news is people who have this ADHD subtype have lower risks of becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol and having issues with the law compared to the other two ADHD subtypes where high risk and thrill seeking behaviors are very dominant.
ADHD inattentive is genetic and 70 percent of those who have the disease also have blood relatives who have the same condition. This condition is due to the chemical imbalance in the neural networks; hence, it affects the general cognitive abilities and the brain's executive functions. This condition is diagnosed through a standard questionnaire containing symptoms questions for parents and teachers to answer.
The first line of intervention is the use of ADHD prescription drugs. However, the drug will only address the symptoms, but can never actually cure the disease. The effects of the drugs are temporary, and there is also a growing concern about the side-effects brought about by the long-term use of drugs. The disability usually coexists with other conditions such as depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, anxiety and depression and conduct disorder. Those who have coexisting mental issues are highly at risk of psychotic and suicidal episodes if they take ADHD drugs and as a result require constant monitoring. Some parents resort to alternative interventions such as meditation; homeopathic medicine and ADHD diet because they are known to alleviate the symptoms of the disease without any side effects.
Behavioral modification techniques can also help manage ADHD inattentive. Giving the child a daily schedule to follow, being consistent about rules, helping a child staying organized and rewarding good behavior and giving short, simple and easy to under instructions will help a lot. It is also very important that parents should establish good rapport with the teacher to be able to closely monitor the ADHD inattentive child's progress in school and make follow-ups at home

My daughter (Annabel) suffered from schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR James herba mix medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com) from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr James prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken.
