Attention Deficit Syndrome is a recent diagnosis of an old issue, making life more of a challenge. ADHS affected people are often perceived as lazy, demotivated and lacking social skills. A burnout can occur even in younger years. Classically known symptoms as rambunctiousness do not necessarily apply. This makes early detection difficult. Correct diagnosis, psychotherapy and medication can enable ADHS people to live a balanced, complete life and reach their goals.
We undertake testing required for a credible diagnosis and stimulant treatment.
Autism is a spectrum interference. Perception, social interactions, empathy are different for autistic people. Living with autism should not be a handicap. In therapy, people with autism learn about their inner world. Dealing with the "norm world" can be a challenge but talk-therapy combined with psychopharmacotherapy can help a lot.
