        abstract = {attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting children of all ages, including pre-schoolers, adolescents, and adults worldwide. ADHD patients often face challenges in academic and social settings. The aim of this study was to obtain scientific evidence of the effectiveness of homeopathy in ADHD. Studies in India show a pooled ADHD prevalence among children and adolescents of approximately 7.1%, aligning with global rates, but with significant variations across regions and studies, ranging from 1.3% to over 17%. Prevalence rates are consistently higher in males compared to females. Recent 2024 and late 2023 research highlight a need for more studies to establish definitive figures and address the impact of factors like screen time and cultural stigmas. Conventional ADHD medications, such as stimulants and non-stimulants, have risks that include common, mild side effects like decreased appetite, sleep disturbances, headaches, and irritability, as well as less common, more serious risks such as increased blood pressure and heart rate, agitation, and potential for manic symptoms. A standardized extract of Bacopa Monnieri has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of ADHD and was well-received by the children. This case report demonstrates the treatment of ADHD in 14-year-old male using homoeopathic medicine Bacopa Monnieri 1X daily for three months. The homoeopathic treatment with Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi) 1X resulted in improvement in his academic performance, interpersonal relationships, social interactions and behaviour, both at home and school. The SNAP-IV Rating Scale score also decreased gradually and there was no symptom relapse after recovery. Homoeopathic remedy Bacopa Monnieri led to significant improvement in ADHD symptoms, as objectively measured by the SNAP-IV scale, warranting further research.},
