Course Overview
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that manifests in childhood with symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention and often persists into adulthood. The symptoms affect cognitive, academic, behavioral, emotional, and social functioning. In a meta-analysis of 175 studies (including 1,023,071 subjects-mostly school aged-over 36 years), the estimated pooled prevalence of ADHD was 7.2%. The studies were from a broad geographic distribution (e.g., Europe, Asia, North America).
 
US statistics show a prevalence of 4.4% among 18 to 44 year olds and 3.4% in respondents aged 18 to 44 years in the Americas, Europe and Middle East.
 
Many individuals look to other therapies besides pharmacotherapy.  This presentation will provide evidence-based dietary, nutritional and botanical interventions in how to alleviate and eradicate symptoms of ADHD.  Attendees will walk away with numerous naturopathic treatment strategies and modalities that they can implement immediately.
 

After the presentation, participants will be able to confidently:

1.  Understand signs and symptoms of ADHD.
2.  Understand theoretical pathogenesis.
3.  Review of laboratory testing to help elucidate causation and improve strategic treatment interventions.
4.  Be able to implement naturopathic interventions, which are evidence and clinically based, to alleviate symptoms and hopefully cure the patient.
