DD 16, diagnosed with ADHD last year is struggling and would like to try taking something to help but not meds.
The internet is a minefield of supplements - can anyone recommend a tested formula that helps calm, focus and mood-lift their ADHD teen?
Her sleep schedule is rubbish as is her diet but she suffers with severe IBS. But it's a vicious cycle as the stress is ruining her sleep and causing a lot of the tummy issues, I think.
I'm arranging for her to have more counselling as that helped in the past.
We're working on the food and the sleep, that coupled with the counselling should help but I also think she could do with a supplement. Just no idea what to get. There's lots aimed at kids and at adults but I can't find anything for young adults/teens
Her paediatrician said she'd be reluctant to prescribe medication, given her age (GCSEs etc) and her stomach issues.
Thank you
