What is ADHD and ADD?

  • ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
  • ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder

ADD and ADHD are neurological-psychiatric disorders affecting attention and executive function skills. While ADD primarily involves attention difficulties, ADHD includes hyperactivity and impulsivity symptoms. Both conditions stem from brain chemicals, neurotransmitters, and stress hormones. Evaluation for underlying health issues like endocrine dysfunction, food sensitivities, and nutritional deficiencies is crucial. Holistic treatments offer effective relief for symptoms and improve quality of life.
