Thanks for your comment. Well, you get diagnosed with ADHD by meeting 12 out of 18 diagnostic criteria. Let's imagine, we do an intervention that reduces your symptoms to 8 out of 18. You do not meet diagnostic criteria anymore. Could we say you are cured? I agree that it cannot be cured, because if you remove the lifestyle changes that made the improvements, symptoms will be back. But it can be managed, sometimes completely, as you say. ADHD is complex, so we need a comprehensive tx
One cannot cure autism, adhd, anymore than you can cure mental retardation. You can lessen the symptoms, sometimes competely, but it is still not cure. Diets efficacy on adhd has yet to yeild the results which would warrant it being prescribed as a treatment. A lot of hybe about omega-3 nowadays but so far no support from clinical trials. I take omega-3 myself, good for my health, but no impact on my adhd.
