Dealing with ADD & ADHD Meltdowns
Hey there everybody! This is Dr. Robins from Natural Wellness Clinic, and I want to take a moment to talk about something we see all too often: ADD and ADHD meltdowns. Whether it’s toddlers, teenagers, or even adults dealing with stress, these emotional episodes can be overwhelming for everyone involved. Let’s dive into what we’ve learned over the years and how we can help.
Understanding the Meltdowns
You’ve probably experienced or witnessed this: a child who seems to crash and burn for no apparent reason. These amazing emotional episodes can leave moms and dads scratching their heads, wondering what triggered the outburst. Since we started our clinic back in 2010, we’ve worked with so many parents bringing in their toddlers, saying, “What’s the trigger here?” We’ve also seen teenagers who are just fit to be tied—anxious, stressed, and wound up with emotions they can’t control.
But it’s not just kids. As adults, we’re dealing with our own set of challenges. From postpartum depression to the stress of managing a family, life can really pile on. And when we’re stressed, it doesn’t just affect us—it affects the little ones, too.
Identifying the Root Causes
One of the key things we focus on at Natural Wellness Clinic is identifying the root cause of these meltdowns. Sometimes, it’s food sensitivities that send kids into an emotional spiral. We have tools to help desensitize those reactions, which can make a big difference.
ADHD Fight-or-Flight Responses
Another big focus is what we call “Auricular therapy.” This technique helps control the fight-or-flight response. You know that feeling—the panic that hits out of nowhere? It’s your body’s way of protecting you from perceived danger. Sometimes, that danger is real. But other times, it’s not. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, that fight-or-flight response can be debilitating.
Imagine being afraid to go in a car or board an airplane. It’s hard to live your life that way. Our therapies are designed to help people manage these reactions and regain control over their lives.
Drug-Free ADHD Solutions
What makes us different? We’re a drug-free, needle-free clinic. Our approach is all about natural wellness and finding solutions that work for you and your family without invasive methods.
