I would love to hear your adhd struggles, what symptoms you don't have and your mthfr/comt status. Nosy, eh? I live good heroes to inspire me.

There was a study done in mental institutions, and they found that the common issue with the patients was that they had nutrient deficiencies, and that was a big reason for their behavior and symptoms. Interesting, which makes you question the DSM, neurotransmitter, and brain chemistry research on mental illness.

I did all this for my child for several years and she got a lot better healthwise and a bit calmer. But it wasn't enough. In the end ADHD is a disorder where the dopamine production in the brain is impaired, which causes a lot of difficulties. It is often genetic and there are evolutionary explainations to why ADHD exists.
Medication to elevate the dopamine levels can be necessary and make a world of difference, since the struggle to get through the day is very real for these children.

Thanks Doctor. Is it acceptable to have grass fed ghee? In India, we say ghee heals the gut lining but my functional specialist advices no dairy. Vegan milks are full of junk and vegan alternatives too. Is there a test to check food intolerance? My son shows no difference having it or not but doctor advised that gluten and dairy are big no no for tics. He is not having any tics whatsoever now, it’s not a response of stopping gluten or dairy, it is a response when he has infection and fades away

Hey, Dr. Hyman, you have somebody on your site, trolling for unwary business customers. He gives out a phone number to contact him, but it looks like a scammer to me.

ADD isn’t even a thing anymore, it’s now called ADHD - used to be a fan of Mark, but seems like he is trying to be the next Dr. Oz instead.

[aravenbythenamealex]

ADD doesn't exist and the best strategy for ADHD is to talk to a specialist and possibly get meds. Also that thing you said about autism? That's ableist and wrong.
