Suggest Natural Remedy For ADHD In A Child

Hi, My son takes Vyvanse for his ADHD, I was wondering if there was something natural I can give him to help with his attention deficient disorder, other than the prescribed drug,..I would like for him to have something more of the natural content as this medication is killing me financially.

Hi
Dr vishal here

It is most important to know causes of ADHD. It has biological origin so need to asses his deficit on ADHD scales. Literature and clinical practice shows improvement with Methyl phenidate (vyvanse) thought there are behavior techniques for ADHD but doesn't show clinical improvement as compare to medicines.
No other natural content is useful to treat ADHD.
so it is very useful to take medicines to improve his physical and mental improvement.
Thank you.
