Counseling - ADHD / ADD

Thinking biblically about what the world calls mental illness is important since we Christians get our worldview from biblical truth; so we can not make excuses, & must take action as we get correct help to conquer areas of weakness or sin, to live right and holy lives.

The world diagnoses/calls this as a disease and disorder: Attention Deficit Disorder aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or neural development disorder of childhood. It is not a mental illness. If you examine it you will find it is a self control and focus issue, not a medical issue. There are pockets of skills needed to grow in and areas of maturity growth like in self control that's needed. They are living in sinful selfish desires and not doing the hard things to become a well rounded person. 

So, if we're talking about young kids this sounds like a lack of proper parenting issue, right? To be training and guiding the child so they can grow up rightly. From 5th to 8th grade parents (esp of boys) [and growing in it well possibly into 10th grade] need to focus on these areas of self discipline & self denial, & perseverence, to help their kids grow rightly, or theyll be crippled in life. 

First those older, it may also be the above reason, but also that you never grew to maturity having self control & self discipline issues. The below can help you on that journey. 

*You are more that a diagnosis; breaking free from mental health labels. Pt1. Pt2

This has some info on ADHD to examine, as it's not a medical/physical issue. 

*Mind & the Brain pt1 pt2 pt 3 pt4 pt5 pt6 pt7


Contact a Prof Biblical Counselor to help with this issue.  


If you are not saved, not sure you are, or were sent here by someone else and want to embrace Faith; not just so God can help you conquer these areas, but to be right with God, then review this and embrace it. God will give you a new heart, mind and desires. 

God bless
