What is ADHD?

ADHD is characterized by difficulty with executive functioning and regulating emotions, inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While it can’t be cured, proper management of the right strategies and therapies, symptoms can be effectively managed improving daily functioning.

It affects various aspects of life, from academics and social interactions to work and family dynamics. Unmanaged ADHD can lead to challenges such as struggling at school, family stress, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, and more.
ADHD can manifest in various ways, with symptoms falling into three presentations:
- 9Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Difficulty focusing, sustaining attention, staying organized, and following instructions.
- 9Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Restlessness, impulsivity, difficulty waiting or taking turns, and excessive talking.
- 9Combined Presentation: A mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms, often leading to significant challenges.
We integrate conventional and naturopathic therapies, offering evidence-based treatments like psychotherapy and naturopathic care to address the complete well-being of individuals—mind, body, and spirit.
