Anxiety/ ADHD

Anxiety is a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry, fear, and nervousness, often accompanied by physical symptoms like increased heart rate, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. It can be triggered by stress or occur without an obvious cause, affecting daily functioning and overall well-being. Chronic anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or panic disorder, can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity, making it difficult for individuals to stay organized, complete tasks, or remain attentive. It is commonly diagnosed in childhood but can persist into adulthood, impacting academic, professional, and personal life. ADHD is often categorized into three types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of both.

BAHI Therapy and the WAVi Scan EEG system can be valuable tools for diagnosing and treating ADHD by offering a combination of advanced brain assessment and holistic, non-invasive therapeutic approaches. Here’s how they contribute:

​

Diagnosis of ADHD with WAVi Scan EEG System

​

The WAVi system is an FDA-cleared EEG-based brain assessment tool that helps in the objective identification of ADHD. It provides key insights into brain function through:

1. Electroencephalography (EEG) & Evoked Response Potentials (ERPs)

   • Measures brain wave activity and cognitive processing speed.

   • Helps detect abnormalities in attention, executive function, and impulse control, which are often impaired in ADHD.

   • Identifies underactive or overactive brain regions associated with ADHD symptoms.

2. Trail Making and Flanker Tests

   • Assess cognitive flexibility, attention span, and impulse control, all of which are key factors in ADHD diagnosis.

   • Provides measurable data on executive function and mental processing speed, aiding in early detection.

3. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Analysis

   • Evaluates autonomic nervous system regulation, which is often imbalanced in individuals with ADHD.

   • Helps assess stress levels and overall nervous system adaptability.

By providing objective biomarkers, WAVi allows clinicians to differentiate ADHD from other cognitive conditions, reducing reliance on subjective assessments.

Treatment & Management of ADHD with BAHI Therapy

​

BAHI Therapy enhances brain function and overall neurological health through a multi-modal approach:

1. Sonix Sonicwave Vibration Therapy

   • Enhances blood circulation to the brain, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery.

   • Stimulates neurotransmitter release, supporting focus and cognitive processing.

   • Helps reduce hyperactivity by promoting relaxation and sensory integration.

2. Whole-Body Photobiomodulation (PBM) & Molecular Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy

   • PBM Therapy (Light therapy) boosts mitochondrial function, increasing ATP production and improving brain energy levels.

   • Molecular Hydrogen Therapy acts as a neuroprotective antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress, which is often elevated in ADHD.

3. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

   • Increases oxygenation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function and focus.

   • Supports neurogenesis (new brain cell growth), which can aid in attention and impulse control.

   • Reduces inflammation that may contribute to ADHD symptoms.

How WAVi and BAHI Work Together for ADHD

​

1. Accurate Diagnosis: WAVi EEG provides precise, objective data to confirm ADHD and track brain function.

2. Personalized Treatment: BAHI Therapy enhances brain function naturally, improving attention, focus, and impulse control.

3. Progress Monitoring: Repeated WAVi scans can track changes in brain function over time, ensuring treatment effectiveness.

By integrating WAVi for assessment and BAHI for treatment, clinicians can create targeted, non-invasive ADHD interventions without relying solely on medication.
