Philosophy

“Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.” -Freud

There are no two patients who are alike, their symptoms may appear similar, but they are individuals with different upbringing, different culture, different religious views and the most important different genetic makeup. I practice psychiatric treatment based on the individual person and not based just on the standard treatment protocol. Science and evidence-based treatment guidelines directs patients’ treatments and outcomes. Patients are viewed holistically with parents, teachers and external providers involved.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is not just a disorder of childhood. ADHD
affects every aspect of

is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Early neurodevelopmental deviations are suspected in
contributing
to the development of this disorder, along with environmental and genetic contribution.
ADHD is highly
heritable and highly co-morbid with other psychiatric diagnosis.
