Struggling to focus? Feeling disorganized, restless, or distracted? You might assume it’s ADHD. But those same symptoms are also caused by anxiety or trauma, poor sleep, nutritional deficiencies, technology overuse, or inflammatory foods. That’s why, at Alleviant, we never rush to label someone with ADHD. Instead, we use spectral EEG (sEEG) to look at the brain’s real-time activity and determine what’s actually going on — whether it’s ADHD or something else entirely. 

If your child (or you) are struggling with focus, impulsivity, irritability, or poor emotional regulation — ADHD may be the first thing that comes to mind. But in today’s world, these symptoms are just as likely to be the result of an overstimulated brain.
