Attention and concentration disorders
The most common form is ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). The cause is a disorder in the functioning of certain neural networks; the DSM-5 rightly counts AD (H) D as a neurobiological developmental disorder. In 50% of cases, AD (H) D is inherited. The disorder is expressed in a pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity.
What is it?
A distinction is made between 3 subtypes: the predominantly inattentive type, the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type and the combined type. As you get older, most symptoms of ADHD decrease, although this cannot be predicted. 1/3 of the ADHD symptoms disappear completely when you reach adulthood. In the other group, the symptoms persist, usually in a milder form. In particular, hyperactivity and impulsivity are declining more than attention problems.
Adults with ADHD often show typical characteristics such as being late, difficult to keep appointments, talking busy, having trouble with authorities, low frustration tolerance, being temperamental, stubborn and stubborn, having trouble sleeping, etc.
Attention and concentration disorders do not always have to be congenital, they can also be acquired. Conditions such as depression, burnout syndrome, hormonal changes (e.g. menopause), brain injuries,... can negatively affect attention and concentration levels.
How to treat
It is important to emphasize that attention and concentration disorders usually have a neurobiological cause. To map this out, a qEEG is taken. It is well known that medication, such as methylphenidate (Rilatin), can have a positive effect on ADHD.
But neuromodulation can also help improve attention regulation. Scientific research has shown that neurofeedback is a valuable therapy for treating concentration and attention disorders. Today, in addition to neurofeedback, other forms of neuromodulation can also be used, such as tDCS, tES, tRNS, etc.
The qEEG can help us determine which neuromodulation technique could have the most effect.
Other conditions that we treat
Auditory and vestibular disorders
These disorders are related to hearing and balance and can have a major impact on your daily life.

Neurological and cognitive disorders
These disorders affect brain function, which can lead to problems with attention, memory, and motor skills.
Mental and emotional disorders
Mental illness can be deeply rooted in neurobiological dysfunctions.
Chronic Pain and Fatigue Syndromes
Chronic pain and fatigue are often difficult to treat with conventional methods, especially when there is no obvious physical cause.
Fatigue syndromes and sleep disorders
Sleep and energy management are essential for brain function. Problems in these areas can lead to severe tiredness and difficulty concentrating.
Headache and facial pain disorders
Headaches and facial pain can result from complex neurological processes.
