I am posting this in case it can help someone. We take our family to Amen Clinics. I apologize to brand drop, but they have helped our family thrive. They do support medication; but the work they have done for our children has helped us to avoid medications. Each of our children with ADHD (and myself) has a special diet, supplement, and exercise regiment. We have a strong extended family history of ADHD. I have a diagnosis and so do half of my children. My sister and all of her children have a diagnosis. As well as many of my cousins and several children of my cousins’.

We have been managing this with my son for a few years and your article has a lot of the information I, too, came across during my “information gathering” days. The supplements work well, but wanted to ask if you came across any supplements that contained all the recommended. I’ve been on the look out but wanted to check with your awesome self and community.

In reply to Nicole. I'm an older adult and began taking fish oil. After a few months I noticed blood spots under the skin and was told it was petechial hemorrhaging. When I researched it I found that fish oil can be a cause. I quit taking fish oil and it cleared up. I try to get it naturally by eating more fish rich in omega 3's.

Root causes – genetics, visual processing issues ( huge one !) pans/pandas , yeast and parasites, sleep apnea, mouth breathing Often a combo – three generations here- so genes – plus some of the listed

Katie, Thanks for this informative article of yours, I am searching online about ADHD because my kid got one. I don’t know how to deal with the symptoms of ADHD, he is so aggressive and out of focus on the things that he does. One time when he was playing his toys, he forgets where he puts it even he only leave it for a minute. At least now, I have any ideas how to deal with him and what to do.

I’d love to see more resources for ADHD in adults- I don’t know why everyone acts like it just magically disappears when you turn 18!

I agree that ADHD is real, my daughter has it, and now her son has it!! With my daughter we used diet and activities to help her deal with her ADHD. We kept her involved in lots of physical activities such as basketball or cheerleading, we also didn’t allow her to have a lot of sugar in her diet. Doing these two things made a big difference in her life, she behaved at school, no longer needed medication, so she was now able to learn. My daughter is now a mother of two and in college full time. At one point I never thought I would see this day!! I’m very proud of her for not giving up.

Katie, thanks for sharing this article. I am a blogger also and just posted about vitamins that calm anxiety as an alternative to pharmaceutical medications. What was interesting in this post is that B vitamins are instrumental in cures for ADHD, similar to anxiety. I didn’t realize before writing my own blog post that B vitamins are so crucial to maintaining a stable brain and converting food to energy in the digestion process. One thing I also found in my research is that B vitamins are a crucial vitamin that the body is depleted of when we drink too much alcohol, just an interesting fact. Thanks for sharing this post!

This is great! Thanks for some of the supplement resources. I’ve been struggling to get my kids to take B vitamins, as they taste terrible. We use B12 and B6 patches, but I haven’t been able to find a multi-B.

ADHD in children is also commonly a symptom of sleep disorders. I highly recommend talking to a sleep specialist if your child has a hard time staying asleep, has night terrors, sleep walking, snoring, insomnia, bed wetting, etc. The adhd may just be the body trying to stay awake during the day.

In reply to Peter. Peter, it has been widely documented and researched by doctors and is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and I can tell you first hand that it is real. Your belief is in my opinion unhelpful and unsubstantiated.

This is a very insightful article about the brain anatomy of ADHD and current research that I would highly recommend: https://www.additudemag.com/current-research-on-adhd-breakdown-of-the-adhd-brain/. Research has revealed there are structural differences in the ADHD brain. It is a real thing! I would add to your post that frequent exercise and time spent outside in nature is also highly beneficial. I also feel that ADHD children tend to do better in an environment with consistent routine and structure. I think whether it be a home or traditional school, a lot will depend on the teacher and atmosphere of the learning environment. I’ve noticed all this with my own child. Though we homeschool, even the home environment can be distracting if there is a lack of structure and hroutine.

ADHD is not a real disease, it is irresponsible and unethical to make out that it is.

Hi Katie
Wondering what harm you were speaking of that may come from taking fish oil supplements?
