Can ADHD be fixed?
ADHD is a lifelong disorder, however the symptoms can be mitigated through many different means. Patients have found therapy, medications, homeopathic remedies, and dietary changes to be helpful. I personally recommend getting a biomarker assessment (sometimes called GeneSight) prior to beginning any medication or supplement regimen to ensure her body will appropriately metabolize the medications/supplements resulting in better outcomes and reduce the likelihood of side effects.
