Parents often ask me about alternative treatments for ADHD.
I am sharing this article from my colleagues and highly respected practitioners Dr. Ari Tuckman and Dr. Stephanie Sarkis. It speaks to both the science and the research of these often-used alternatives.
The Truth About Lion’s Mane, Psychedelics & Caffeine
People with ADHD increasingly consider unconventional treatment alternatives, such as lion’s mane mushroom, micro-dosing psychedelics, and mega-dosing caffeine, as stimulant medications’ supply shortages continue.
The lingering stimulant medication shortage has prompted some individuals with ADHD to seek alternatives to first-line treatments that are no longer readily available. The shortage has also sparked widespread marketing by companies selling alternative “treatments” to ease the symptoms of ADHD.
