Current research confirms that ADHD symptoms are caused by a profound impairment of certain neurotransmitter functions. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers which activate and participate in locomotor coordination, learning, behavior and memory. Dopamine is the one neurotransmitter that is at the center of attention in ADHD. One theory holds that uncontrolled release of dopamine in developmental years impairs dopamine neurons, leading to a reduced dopamine function in later years. It is however agreed by all that dopamine is the key to understanding ADHD.
XY Clinics offers comprehensive testing for neurotransmitters as part of its ADHD plan. While there are prescription drugs as a last resort, we believe that more natural alternatives should be explored starting with an evaluation of the ADHD patient's metabolism, his/her amino acid status. From these our clinicians can piece together valuable information so that an effective nutritionally oriented plan can be developed. Neurotransmitter precursors which are available as supplements are a great side-effect free option. |
