ADHD & Attention/Focus Difficulties

ADHD “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder” is a condition that can make it hard for a child to sit still, pay attention, or make good decisions. ADHD can lead to problems in school, at home, and with friends. 

A doctor can make a diagnosis of ADHD if a child’s symptoms:

• Are seen in more than one place (home and in school)

• Last at least six months

• Start before age 12

• Affect his or her friendships or school work

Children with ADHD are frequently treated with medication, behavioral treatment at home, or changes in the classroom at school.

“Seeing our son struggle with impulsive behavior and mental focus felt overwhelming. Dr. Sue gave us a step-by-step plan that was easy to understand. She reassured us that healing will happen but that it takes time. This helped me feel hopeful and optimistic as we worked on dietary changes and supplementation. Now our son looks and acts so much better and his focus is improving. Knowing we can heal with diet and lifestyle changes is very empowering.” – Melissa C.
