MTHFR and ADHD behaviors link?

[MNmom99]

Hi everyone, my son is almost 9 and was diagnosed a few years back with ADHD, we’ve explored many many treatment options, diet, meds and therapies. We did a gene sight test last year to help with medication changes and noticed the MTHFR gene saying it was significantly reduced folic acid conversion. We started supplementing with meythalfolate, and went on as usual did the medication change, I can’t stop thinking about and researching that gene. So far all roads lead to the fact that if you have that in your body as my son does it’s linked to MANY COMMON ADHD behaviors, anxiety, depression, irrational moods, high reaction to stresses, sensory issues, (lots of behaviors and things related to things just not working properly in the brain due to this dna deficiency) very interesting stuff that I’m very curious to learn more about. We haven’t went down a road with a naturalist doctor to explore any type of treatments with that gene other then the methyl folate supplement. Wondering if anyone has went to a dr that specializes in treating or helping balance when there is a deficiency and if so have you had success or any information you could share with your experiences? Thanks much

Our psychiatrist recommended broad spectrum micronutrients. We use Hardy Nutritionals.

Yes, we do too. Also my husband uses it for Parkinson’s.
