Beyond Stimulants: A Practical and Holistic Approach to ADD/ADHD

from The Holistic Psychiatrist · host Alice W. Lee, MD, ABIHM, ABoIM

Why this is important: Isn't it about time to have an understanding of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) beyond prescribing stimulants? The current psychiatric treatment for ADD is to go from a diagnosis to prescribing medication, often starting in elementary school. These stimulants work on the same neurotransmitters as cocaine and cause long-term dependency. Dr. Alice W. Lee shares her holistic perspective to ADD/ADHD that informs a practical treatment approach to successfully resolve underlying causes and debilitating symptoms.Support the showTo sustain my work as a holistic psychiatrist and support my efforts to improve psychiatric treatment for all through my podcasts, articles, website, and YouTube channel, please show your appreciation and help champion holistic psychiatry by clicking HERE to contribute!Click here to listen to all of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast episodesContact here to email Dr. Lee directly.
