What is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that significantly impair daily functioning across multiple settings. People with ADHD often have problems keeping their attention on tasks, organizing activities and following directions. Besides this, they are likely to move around too much, be impatient when waiting for their turn and act without thinking about what will happen next.
ADHD results from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental and neurobiological factors. Neuroimaging studies have reported on differences in brain structure and function especially in areas related to attention processes, executive functions as well as impulse control such as prefrontal cortex (PFC), basal ganglia (BG) and cerebellum (CB). The pathophysiology underlying ADHD is thought to involve impairment in dopamine and noradrenaline systems which disrupts attention regulation ability coupled with deficits in inhibitory control.

Best Treatment on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in India at StemRx:
At StemRx, we use a multi-disciplinary approach to cater for patients presenting with ADHD and other similar challenges in neurodevelopment. These people can suffer from harmful effects of heavy metals toxicity, fungal or yeast infection within their gastrointestinal tracts which may possibly worsen oxidative stress occurring inside the brain and which would disrupt the Gut-Brain axis that plays vital roles in brain-gut communication.
To solve these underlying issues, we have detoxification protocols that aim at eliminating heavy metals and balancing Gut-Brain axis. The process is also backed by Intestinal Microbiota Transfer (IMT) to help remove toxins and improve gut health. Cellular Therapy Treatment is used to boost brain functioning and decrease symptoms like hyperactivity. Quantum energy medicine, combined with neuropeptides and growth factors are part of the ADHD treatment aimed at supporting patient’s general well-being leading to full recovery from the disorder.
