I listened to a podcast recently with a doctor who stated that many kids who are being diagnosed with ADHD are really sleep deprived. So many young kids these days are being allowed to have phones and video games with them in their rooms and they are on them all night. This is effecting there sleep schedule causing attention issues, and mood swings which can be misdiagnosed.

Yes I heard! It makes all the sense if you attend to our physiology. Our bodies are not designed to sleep five hours a day with all the stress we carry during the day. It's a time bomb. Thanks for sharing Danni! 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it @Dr. Bronce Rice ! I totally agree, this is becoming a worrying issue among our patients. Actual medicine focuses in prescribing medicaments to “help” them sleep instead of searching and fixing the root cause. This is just a drop in the ocean of everything I’m eager to share! Love having you on board! 🙌
