Same diagnosis, very different brains: on 8 October 2026, 16:00–18:00, Andreas Müller will show at the Logosynthese Institut Schweiz in Bad Ragaz how brain function analysis makes ADHD understandable within the spectrum of neurodiversity, and how this leads to personalised treatment.

Logosynthese Institut Schweiz, Bahnhofstrasse 38, Bad Ragaz, Switzerland

Two people with the same ADHD diagnosis can have very different experiences. One seems permanently on edge. The other drifts off as soon as things get quiet. On top of this, ADHD merges gradually into autism, high sensitivity, anxiety or the after-effects of trauma. The diagnosis alone therefore says little about what will actually help in an individual case.

The talk places ADHD within the spectrum of neurodiversity and shows how brain function analysis sharpens the picture. Three measurement perspectives reveal how a brain processes information: frequency spectra, event-related potentials and microstates. Three state parameters determine the conditions under which it operates: arousal, vigilance and sensitivity.

From measurement to personalised specialist treatment

This overall picture leads not to a standard recommendation but to an individual treatment plan. Someone with unstable vigilance needs something different from someone with persistently raised arousal or marked sensitivity to stimuli. This applies to the choice and dosage of medication as much as to the focus of psychotherapy, neurofeedback, parent work or coaching.

Treatment is reviewed regularly. Progress tracking in everyday life and a repeat brain function analysis after about a year show whether the treatment is working and allow targeted adjustments. In this way, treatment is guided by the individual person rather than by the diagnosis alone.

For professionals in psychotherapy, counselling and coaching, and for anyone who wants to understand ADHD better.
