  2. Conventional treatments, including prescription stimulants and amphetamines such as Ritalin and Dexedrine, have many side effects.
  3. Emotional dysregulation is often the hallmark of ADHD
  4. Diagnosis of ADHD is often given based on subjective tests or psychological assessments alone.
  5. Attention networks of the brain that are identifiable with qEEG.
  6. Our dietary habits are often disordered by our lifestyles.
  7. Meanwhile, the prevalence of ADHD has increased by over 40% in the past decade. 4 % of the population now fits the diagnosis!

Symptoms

ADHD Symptoms

The symptoms of ADHD generally fall into three broad categories:

  1. Inattention: trouble paying attention or feeling easily distracted when focusing on any one task.
  2. Hyperactivity: Children can feel squirmish and fidgety. Teens and adults often feel restless and fidgety. The trouble with reading or enjoying other quiet activities.
  3. Impulsivity: Acting based on emotional triggers before thinking.  Children may not be able to wait for their turn or to share. This makes it hard for them to play with other children. Teens and adults may make rash decisions that have a long-term impact on their lives.

QEEG Brain Mapping for ADHD Diagnosis

Testing

ADHD Testing

The symptoms of ADHD can be due to electronic or biochemical imbalances in the brain, due to genetic or environmental factors triggered by diet.

  • Blood Tests: individuals suffering from an attention problem ADD/ADHD may suffer from nutritional deficiencies such as simple omega three fatty acids, and vitamin D.  Disturbance of essential minerals such as zinc and copper or an access of environmental toxic heavy metals can be part of the picture also. These changes affect the immune stem and compromise the health of the good bacteria living in the Gut. For example, The gut bacteria make GABA, an amino acid which is often less in patients with ADHD.
  • Brain Mapping: quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) can identify the specific electronic patterns associated with ADHD.  The qEEG map can isolate the brain attention networks and assess them for function. This highly useful diagnostic tool determines the intervention and outcomes. 

Treatment

Child and Adult ADHD Treatment

QEEG is the analysis of the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain or brain waves, recorded from multiple electrode sites on the surface of the scalp over a period. The process is also called brain-mapping.  QEEG uses modern analytical software to compare the recordings with the reference values from healthy individuals with no history of concussion or known symptoms.

QEEG analysis allows us to view dynamic changes throughout the brain. When combined with a robust program called LORETA neurofeedback training, QEEG can be used to train and augment brain activity, achieving remarkable improvements in symptoms of inattention and focus.   

Along with diet to correct the gastrointestinal causes of ADHD, the use of supplements to facilitate healing of the brain, we also use Bowen therapy to improve the physical restlessness that goes along with ADHD.

ADHD Vs Concussive Syndrom

North Vancouver Concussion Testing

The symptoms of concussion can be present, however, without other signs on MRI or conventional imaging techniques. It is a fact: by the time a person has had three head injuries, they are three times more likely to get a diagnosis of ADHD.  Thanks to qEEG brain mapping, now offered at our Northshore Naturopathic Clinic, our patients have new hope. With Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), we can diagnose ADHD from Post-Concussive markers to guide the proper treatment of the condition.

Meet Dr. M: Your North Vancouver Concussion & Mental Health Naturopath

My journey with mental health care began in 1996 as a research student at the Toronto Center for Mental Health.. But my own reality had followed me from childhood to my years as a naturopathic doctor. In my undergrad at UofT, I landed an internship at the Hospital for Sick Children, doing genetics research on acquired mental and cognitive illnesses, the infamous Fragile X syndrome. From a young age, exploring the outdoors had been my way of satisfying my inquisitive mind. Learning the healing properties of medicinal plants—a dream realized during my naturopathic studies at CCNM.
The gig at the Hospital for Sick Children had developed a passion and understanding for water. Somehow, I postulated that the “fragility” of the Fragile X was governed by stationary water clusters on the DNA, interacting with water and the faulty DNA, which makes proteins. Falling in admiration for homeopathy was then an easy transition. Orthomolecular medicine and IV therapy came next. But that was all to the expense of the body and naturopathic physical therapy, and acupuncture was just not enough.   So came the Bowen therapy and Neurofeedback.
At its core, for me, practicing naturopathic medicine is practicing mind-body medicine.  I’m dedicated to supporting my clients’ recovery and well-being using the best of both science and natural therapies. I am genuinely happy and grateful for the work I do, and I am committed to helping each of my clients achieve their best possible health.

A mind + body approach is the key to healing.

As a physician I make a point to strive for excellence in my field and compassion in my daily life.

I chose to be a naturopathic doctor because I believe integrating the current medicine along with the natural treatments is essential for true mind-body medicine.

TESTIMONIALS
I truly believe that the treatment I received in your care is responsible for, not just, full recovery after my accident but also for wide reaching positive change in my life. I am more present, more aware of self/self-care, and very importantly, I sleep properly/restoratively on a consistent basis. I often tell people that I don't know what would have happened had I not met you. I honestly feel that I would not have regained rhe brain function I had pre-accident let alone improved brain function. Thank you Saeid.
Celia
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The changes in my life have been positively amazing since working with Dr. Mushtagh. I have greater mental clarity, more sustained energy, a better mood and every area of my life has improved. Friends and family have even noticed incredible changes in me. If I were operating at 40% of my potential before, I feel that I am closer to 80% now. I can't recommend Dr. Mushtagh highly enough.
M. Lee
I’ve been seeing Dr. Saeid Mushtagh, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients, treating not just the symptoms but the whole person. His approach has been more effective than anything I’ve experienced before. For the first time, I feel real hope that I’m getting treatment that addresses the root cause, not just a quick fix. If you’re looking for a compassionate, thorough, and highly skilled naturopath, I highly recommend Dr. Mushtagh.
V. Vorbach
After struggling to understand and find the right approach for our son's ADHD diagnosis, Dr. Saeid Mushtagh provided the answers we were looking for through thorough testing and a personalized treatment plan. If you're a parent with a child navigating ADHD, I recommend getting a second professional opinion...
N. Marie
Saeid. You were the best Naturopathic Doctor that I have ever seen. I have seen four in my life in different locations but you were the best one for many reasons.
W. Hébert
On June 12, 2014, I sustained a head injury at work. For the past three years, I have tried a number of different therapies to relieve my debilitating post-concussion symptoms.  Since seeing Dr. Mushtagh, my ‘episodes’ have decreased in intensity, frequency, and duration as has my stuttering, fatigue, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and nerve pain. I no longer require the use of my walker, cane, or walking sticks. I highly recommend Dr. Saeid Mushtagh to anyone suffering from a concussion or Post-Concussion Syndrome.  Thank you, Dr. Saeid for all that you have done towards my recovery!
Sheila. R.
I was under Saeid's care after suffering severe physical and mental side effects from cancer radiation treatment and the tragic death of my grandson. He brought me back to health and balance through his careful attention to the details impacting my life. In my case, he was a "Godsend." I have no hesitation recommending him. He is a man of compassion, incredible knowledge, wisdom, and integrity.
P. Scott
Nicest and the best naturopathic doctor I've seen over last 6 years of 15 ND's, MD's etc. Finds the underlining cause, very smart guy.
J. Dorman
I have referred everyone I know to you. I was and am still so grateful for your care and thoughtfulness to me and everyone else I know that goes to you and that list is extensive. You’ve helped us all and we hold you in the very highest regard.
M. Melanson
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me at my darkest hour. Honestly, I feel like I now have a good group of doctors and healers, that I trust, around me and I'm ready for the next chapter of my recovery. Thank you again for all your help. I am forever in your debt.
