ADHD - More Than a Behavioral Diagnosis

AD(H)D (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention regulation, impulse control, and activity levels. The presentation can vary considerably between individuals and may persist from childhood into adulthood.

From an integrative medical perspective, AD(H)D is understood as a functional dysregulation involving neurotransmitter balance, stress adaptation, and metabolic processes that influence how the nervous system processes and responds to stimuli.

Causes and Core Characteristics

Genetic predisposition may increase susceptibility, yet AD(H)D cannot be explained by heredity alone. Environmental influences, nutritional status, and the body’s detoxification capacity can affect neurological regulation and symptom expression.

Core characteristics include difficulties with sustained attention, impulse control, and activity regulation. Symptom intensity may fluctuate depending on stress exposure, environmental demands, and individual physiological resilience.

“ADHD is not a personal failure nor simply a brain disorder. It often reflects a nervous system under stress and a metabolism out of balance.”

Dr. Thomas Rau, MD

Individual Biological Approach

At BioMed Center Sonnenberg, AD(H)D is evaluated through structured biological diagnostics. The aim is to identify functional stressors affecting neurological regulation and to define a coordinated therapeutic strategy based on objective findings.

Holistic Therapy

Therapeutic strategies may include detoxification support, micronutrient optimization, metabolic regulation, stabilization of the nervous system, and dietary measures aimed at supporting the microbiome. Each treatment concept is adapted to the patient’s age, health status, and individual findings.

FAQs

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is characterized by hyperactivity, impaired ability to concentrate, and impulsive behavior. Many affected individuals also experience motor restlessness and disorders of attention.

The three main symptoms of ADHD are excessive urge to move (hyperactivity), reduced ability to concentrate (inattentiveness), and impulsive behavior with unconsidered actions.

ADHD affects children, adolescents, and adults. It has become the most common psychological disorder among children and youths and is now recognized as a condition that can persist into adulthood.

No. ADHD is often seen as a purely genetic condition, but studies show that environmental factors also play a crucial role in its development and expression.

Environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, and a disrupted detoxification function can place strain on the nervous system and contribute to ADHD symptoms.

Yes. ADHD is often associated with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, borderline disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and bipolar disorder.

ADHD is addressed through an individual, biological treatment concept that focuses on identifying micronutrient deficiencies and underlying root causes. Diagnosis and therapy are adapted to the age of the patient.

Yes. Treatment options are available for younger children as well as for adults with ADHD-related symptoms.

Individual diagnostics may include analysis of the autonomic nervous system, genetic analysis of detoxification enzymes, examination of toxic loads, analysis of interference fields, and assessment of micronutrient and immune status.

Holistic therapy includes detoxification and metabolic regulation, micronutrient therapy, regeneration of the nervous system, and dietary changes aimed at stabilizing the microbiome.

Yes. A targeted diet can significantly reduce symptoms and, in combination with biological treatment concepts, support lasting therapeutic success.

Yes. Whether for children or adults, an individual treatment concept is developed based on the personal health situation, with the aim of supporting calmness, concentration, and long-term well-being.
