Alternative Treatment for ADD/ADHD in Berlin

The media has discussed ADD/ADHD syndrome for many years. Conventional medicine attempts to treat these individuals with psychotropic drugs and behavioral therapy. Many individuals and parents are dissatisfied with these medications, which often leads to significant moral conflicts within families.

Positive homeopathy study on ADD/ADHD

In 2005, a comprehensive double-blind study on ADD/ADHD was conducted in Bern, Switzerland, which confirmed the significant and demonstrable effects of homeopathy on hyperactive children. Over the long term—with study participants followed for eight years—it was demonstrated that homeopathic treatments alone could satisfactorily treat around 75% of all ADD/ADHD patients. Additionally, the study showed that homeopathic treatment reduced symptom intensity by an average of 50%.

Homeopathic treatment for ADD/ADHD is holistic because it considers the whole person. Furthermore, homeopathic treatments have no known side effects, unlike psychotropic drugs.

Homeopathy as an Alternative Treatment for ADD/ADHD

Homeopathic treatment takes a holistic approach, considering the whole person. Additionally, unlike psychotropic drugs, there are no known side effects.

Successful treatment requires diverse therapy

Treatment for ADD/ADHD usually lasts at least 12 months, often longer, as these are profound, complex disorders requiring continuous, careful monitoring. As therapy progresses, the intervals between consultations typically increase, with some patients attending sessions only two or three times a year. If additional time is an issue due to school or work, I sometimes supplement the treatment with targeted Bach flower remedies or systemic structural constellations to provide faster relief. In addition, psychotherapy can be useful and supportive.

Systemic therapy eliminates the causes

Developmental abnormalities in children often have familial causes. I can address these specifically with the parents using systemic family constellations. I also treat birth traumas experienced by the mother separately in special sessions, which contributes significantly to strengthening the entire family system.

 

FAQ about ADD / ADHD

  • No. For homeopathy, a medical diagnosis is not absolutely necessary for behavioral problems. For homeopathic treatment, the individual appearance of the symptoms in the individual patient is the basis for treatment.

  • It is often the wish of patients to reduce or discontinue medication altogether in the medium term. Whether it makes sense to stop taking the medication immediately depends on the individual case. The intensity of the dosage and also the personal severity of the symptoms must be taken into account here. The patient can decide this for themselves during the course of treatment or in consultation with their prescriber.

  • After around 6–12 months of homeopathic treatment, a significant improvement in symptoms could be seen. Continuing treatment over a longer period of time (years) could definitely make sense, even if the treatment intervals may become very long.

  • Homeopathic therapy does not result in immobilization in the sense of conventional medicine. Homeopathy could only center and harmonize what is in disharmony or in »surplus«. It will remain a lively, extroverted person. The pathological »too much« that causes difficulties could be treated.

  • In this sense, homeopathy has no side effects, in the sense of organ stress or that it becomes necessary to take secondary medication. In individual cases, healing reactions could also occur. It can be observed that with the right dosage, initial mental and psychological worsenings very rarely occur. 

  • This could be a sensitive reaction of your body to the medication. Homeopathy will take this into account in your case.
