This report provides an action plan tailored to your specific ADD Type and offers natural and targeted treatment recommendations that you can start immediately from home. This assessment is the result of years of practice experience and clinical research. The results, by necessity, are of a general nature and should not be viewed as a substitute for an evaluation or treatment by a competent medical specialist.
