Dr Sanjeev Sharma joins our ambassador, Dr Adrian Lopresti, for a discussion on supporting patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the potential for stimulant and natural medicine to support these patients.


Sanjeev shares with us the impact ADHD can have on the quality of life of an undiagnosed person with ADHD, in particular with academic studies and employment. With extensive experience in supporting ADHD patients, Sanjeev shares the challenges faced in obtaining a diagnosis, prescription medicines and the many opportunities a natural health practitioner has in supporting ADHD patients through integrative medicine, lifestyle, dietary and supplements while operating within their scope of practice.
