Ability To Pay

Homoeopathy is the system of medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) of Germany. It is based on the principle that “like cures like”. In practice, this means that a medicine capable of producing certain effects when taken by a healthy human being is capable of curing any illness that displays similar effects. In pediatric practice; attention deficit disorders (ADHD/ADD) are the most common serious psychosocial problems prompting parents to seek help for their children. Since the ability to pay attention and concentrate is a basis prerequisite of child development, forming the foundation of all learning and thinking as well as of emotional and social interaction, the suffering of these children as well as their siblings, parents, teachers, and fellow pupils is often considerable.

Kelly et al drew attention to the subjective distress and low self-esteem experienced by many children with attention deficit disorder. This is a valuable contribution, in that it is all too easy to simply respond to the distress that such children cause in others (parents, teachers) as opposed to the unhappiness of the child him- or herself. Our concerns relate to the fact that the word "depression" is used only once, as a side effect of stimulant medications. Recent studies indicate a considerable overlap between the problems of children with attention deficit disorder and those in whom depression is diagnosed.
