Summary of article contents:
Attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuro psychiatric condition of diminished sustained attention and hyperactivity. The Aetiology of ADHD is mostly genetic, with a heritability of nearly 75%. Many neurotransmitters are assumed to be connected with ADHD symptoms and dopamine continues to be a focus of the investigation. In Ayurveda, any disease with symptoms of ADHD is described, but some references regarding abnormal behaviours and attention deficit are explained under the features of Unmada. In the contemporary system, the management of ADHD mainly relies upon behavioural therapy and stimulants. PEA (β-phenethylamine), has stimulant effects that lead to the release of socalled biogenic amines, including dopamine and serotonin. This PEA is identified as one important and mustbeexplored alkaloid in Bala ( Sida Cordifolia ). The article vies for understanding and evaluation of the action of Bala ( Sida cordifolia ) in neurological disorders as well as ADHD with reference to ayurvedic literature and recent research works based on prophylactic efficacy of bioactive constituents obtained from roots of Sida cordifolia.
