Attention deficit disorder or attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a condition in which there is a greatly reduced ability to maintain adequate attention to activities. According to a widely used manual for the classification of mental disorders, the DSM-IV, ADD is a subtype of ADHD (ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-PI)), and is the so-called predominantly inattentive type, characterized by attention deficit disorder and concentration problems. ADD is associated more than ADHD with depression, anxiety disorders and poor performance. Behavioral problems are less prominent. Research shows that ADHD or ADD occurs in 1 to 4% of all children and that at least a third continue to suffer from it as adults. ADD and ADHD occur in people of all educational levels.


Treatment BeterKlinic

BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.

An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.

Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
