My wife brought ADHD Thrive Institute to our attention to help with our child (and me). We spoke with them over the phone but I’m getting a bad feeling about it, it feels very sales-y with their 3 step program, and they own brand of supplements etc… has anyone had experience with it?

    I was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago and have never heard of that place, if they are selling their own alternative treatment I would stay away. Best case they are just grifters, worst case it’s some crazy alternative medicine cult. The only people you should seek treatment from are doctors, psychiatrists and neurologists.

    Edit: After briefly scanning over that website I’m even more sure it’s sketch. If you don’t already have a specialist for treatment you should talk to your general practitioner, ask for a referral

      Agreed. I had a serious bad feeling about it but I promised my wife I’d ask my “ADHD group” about it.

        I’m sure she’s just trying to help, which is one of the things that make groups like that are so potentially dangerous.
