Energy levels, mood, behavior – all of these can be impacted, often leading to symptoms that mimic conditions like ADD or ADHD

We'll discuss the importance of understanding that bedwetting is not a result of laziness or a lack of control, but rather a medical condition that requires proper treatment and support. Together, we'll unravel the complexities of bedwetting and provide you with the knowledge and tools to bring an end to the frustration and restore a sense of confidence and well-being.
