ADHD and No Meds

Hello. My child was diagnosed with ADHD about 3 years ago and I cannot find a doctor to provide medication. She is 14. She has lost interest and says she doesn't care. She has weekly breakdowns and won't eat regularly. I would like to know what micronutrients have helped others with ADHD and anxiety. Thank you.

Hi there, I’m so sorry to hear about her struggles. Why won’t a doctor provide meds? Does she have a diagnosis of ADHD?

Is this child in counseling ? They will help her get medication. I would recommend starting therapy as soon as you can, which is 1 part of helping her.

If you can't find a psychiatrist will your pediatrician not help? My one grandsons pediatrician did all his medication until he got older and things stopped working.

There are two companies, Hardy Nutritionals and True Hope. Our dr did not recommend one over the other. We have had success with Hardy Nutritionals Daily Essential Nutrients.
