Dear Jochem, Thank you for your beautiful website and weekly updates! What I like about your website is that you give an inside view, and come up with real solutions and alternatives. I happened to have tried the binaural beats myself but they made me a bit weird in my head. I do like the LT03, and the book on social confidence I definitely want to read! I'm ADD and HSP myself, and I struggle quite a bit with stimuli, structure (household!!!) etc. What I find bizarre -and nice to read back on your website from my own experience and that of others- is the straightforwardness of the mental health services. Like you, I went to PSY-Q and the psychiatrist wanted to know nothing but nothing about LT03. She didn't even let me elaborate on what it is but interrupted me right away and said she doesn't/cannot do anything with it. The side effects of ritalin/ concerta that I was taking before had to be dealt with by a higher dose of antidepressants. While I had just about phased these out. Then I just stopped completely. Even with the phasing out process of antidepressants, I simply run into the limited 'mind' of the mental health services; if it is no longer in your blood, according to them, you can no longer suffer withdrawal symptoms. I personally think that after long-term use, your nervous system also needs to recover for a long time. But it is quickly concluded that your symptoms are back and you need to go back to pills. I know a retired psychiatrist who says that psychiatrists of today have become glorified pill farmers. Actually, it is very strange that you receive 10 times more support on the internet on forums and on your website than from your psychiatrist who doesn't listen to you, think with you and take you seriously, but you...

Dear Jochem,
Thank you for your beautiful website and weekly updates!
What I like about your website is that you give an inside view, and come up with real solutions and alternatives.

Being ADD and HSP myself, I struggle quite a bit with stimuli, structure (household!!) etc.

Actually, it is very strange that you receive 10 times more support on the internet on forums and on your website than from your psychiatrist who does not listen to you, think with you and take you seriously, but instead tells you that what you feel is not real but placebo effect or that you need to take more or extra medication if you have side effects.
Just had to put that out there and wanted to thank you for your tips.
