Attention and Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can impact a person's ability to stay organized, manage time, and follow through on tasks—whether at work, school, or in daily life. It’s not about laziness or lack of effort; it’s about how the brain processes focus, memory, and motivation.
People with ADHD often struggle with concentration, forgetfulness, impulsivity, and feeling overwhelmed by everyday demands. But with the right support and strategies, it’s possible to thrive.
Symptoms and severity can differ between people but adults with ADHD may:
-
Make careless mistakes or miss important details about something
-
Have difficulty listening when spoken to
-
Have difficulty following through on instructions
-
Lose things often
-
Be easily distracted
-
Have difficulty sitting still
-
Talk excessively and/or talk very quickly
Treatments
While ADHD is typically diagnosed in childhood, many adults go undiagnosed for years—often wondering why tasks feel harder, focus slips away easily, or emotions feel overwhelming. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), symptoms begin before age 12 for a formal diagnosis, but it’s not uncommon for individuals to recognize the signs only later in life. If this sounds like you, you're not alone—and it's never too late to seek answers, support, and effective treatment.
​
At Greystones Health, we take an integrative Mind-Body approach to ADHD—one that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes and real solutions.
​
Medication can be helpful in managing the core challenges of ADHD, such as impulsivity, distractibility, and short attention span. But true support also requires building emotional resilience, learning new habits, and navigating life’s demands with greater confidence and calm.
​
That’s where psychotherapy comes in—providing tools to help you develop structure, improve relationships, and manage coexisting conditions like anxiety and depression. We also incorporate mindfulness-based strategies to help you stay grounded and present.
​
But we don’t stop there.
​
We bring in the power of Naturopathic Medicine to investigate what might be happening beneath the surface—such as inflammation, food sensitivities, gut-brain imbalances, unstable blood sugar, or hormone disruptions (like cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone). These hidden imbalances can fuel emotional instability, fatigue, and brain fog—making it harder to thrive.
​
Using a personalized plan that may include natural support for neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, we help calm the nervous system so you can fully benefit from the therapy process. And as your biochemistry improves, you’ll find it easier to build the healthy habits—like exercise, nutrition, and sleep—that support long-term wellness.
​
Whether you've lived with undiagnosed ADHD for years, or are just beginning your healing journey, we’re here to help you reconnect with your strengths, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.
