Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Etiology and Recovery

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders with presumed genetic and neurobiological origins, managed primarily through long-term pharmacological and behavioral interventions.Despite extensive research, its core etiology remains unresolved and complete, medication-free remission is generally regarded as unattainable within conventional neuropsychiatry.However, from the Buddhist Dharma perspective, neurological disorders arise from the influence of intrusive spirits, i.e., souls of deceased humans or animals, whose presence disrupts normal neural function and behavior and recovery may occur naturally once these spirits depart.Such reversibility has been repeatedly documented in multiple neurological conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and paralysis, through the application of the Five Golden Buddhist Practices of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door as taught by Dharma Master Jun Hong Lu.Therefore, ADHD likely shares a similar pathological mechanism.Two case presentations demonstrating complete, sustained, medication-free remission of clinically diagnosed ADHD following systematic application of the Five Golden Buddhist Practices.These findings suggest that hyperactivity and impulsivity may reflect continuous interference by unresolved karmic creditors rather than irreversible neurodevelopmental defects, thereby inviting interdisciplinary investigation into alternative explanatory models that integrate spiritual causality with observable clinical outcomes.
