Psychiatrist
The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Binge- and other Eating Disorders (BED) demonstrates strong co-morbidity with alcohol and illicit substance use, impulsivity and emotional dysregulation (which is frequently linked to personality disorders), insomnia and mood disorders. These symptoms and conditions are often combined in one way or another, in the same person.
Our expert psychiatrist group are highly-aware of the above conditions and of the benefits of addressing person’s unique and often complex presentation over an attempt to explain identified symptoms with one condition which typically could result in the unsatisfactory treatment of only one isolated problem. Our psychiatrists offer comprehensive assessment across all symptom domains which in many people expand beyond the affected ability to focus, concentrate and study or beyond their eating behaviours.
An individually designed treatment plan may include medications which have an evidence-base for ADHD and/or Eating Disorder. Most importantly, all of our psychiatrists closely collaborate with the multidisciplinary team of providers who will support you in your staged treatment and management plan. This approach will allow you to address your personal and interpersonal effectiveness; self-awareness and emotional intelligence, study, work and career performance, nutrition and meal planning and optimal lifestyle, all instrumental for to your self-efficacy and success in life.

ADHD Facts
What is ASD?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It is called a “spectrum” because symptoms vary widely among individuals. Some may struggle with verbal communication, while others have exceptional cognitive abilities. ASD is not a disease but a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain processes information.
Prevalence of ASD
ASD is more common than many people think. According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. Boys are about four times more likely to be diagnosed than girls, but recent research suggests autism may be underdiagnosed in females. The increasing prevalence is partly due to improved awareness and diagnostic criteria rather than an actual rise in cases.
Early Signs of ASD
Autism can often be detected before the age of two. Some early signs include delayed speech, lack of eye contact, repetitive movements, and difficulty engaging in social interactions. Not all children with autism exhibit the same behaviors, but parents often notice differences in communication and interaction compared to their peers. Early intervention can greatly improve developmental outcomes.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of ASD is still unknown, but genetics plays a significant role. Studies show that if one identical twin has autism, the other has a 70-90% chance of being diagnosed as well. Environmental factors, such as prenatal exposure to toxins or infections, may also contribute. However, vaccines do not cause autism—a claim that has been widely debunked by scientific research.
Unique Strengths of People with ASD
While ASD presents challenges, it also comes with unique strengths. Many individuals with autism have excellent memory, heightened attention to detail, and strong problem-solving skills. Some excel in mathematics, music, or art, with well-known figures like Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla suspected to have had autism. Recognizing these strengths can help individuals thrive in the right environment.
