Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are Complex Disorders

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are considered by many in the field of nutrition to be caused by the foods we eat...this may not be true 100% of the time, but it can be a big factor.

Things have come a long way since I was first talking with clients about this disorder, many know that certain foods and food additives aggravate the condition, like food colorings, sugars, and foods that challenge the immune system...what foods contribute to the condition can be a very individual thing.

Environmental factors should be taken into consideration.

To further complicate the issue, certain medications that someone would take who does not have ADD or ADHD to calm themselves can have the opposite reaction on those who DO have ADD or ADHD.

There is a lot to this subject, and I know I can cover only so much, but I will provide you with avenues, including a place for you to add links to sites related to this topic, so that you can research ADD and ADHDfurther after your visit to this page.

    Terrific lens. I am married to a man with ADHD, and have a son with it as well. If you are struggling in a relationship with someone who has ADHD, I could not recommend Gina Pera's book ( is it you me or ADHD) enough. It has helped my relationship tremendously. Dr. Amen and Dr. Barkley are great as well for all ADHD issues.
