...Wendy Weber, a naturopathic physician at Bastyr, the group decided to study St. John's wort after the Food and Drug Administration approved atomoxetine - an agent that keeps nerve endings in the brain flooded with the neurotransmitter norepinephrine - for treating ADHD in children. They knew from previous studies that at least one of St. John's wort's active ingredients, hyperforin, has the same effect on brain neurons, and speculated, as have other proponents of alternative therapies, that the botanical might help to relieve symptoms of ADHD without a prescription.
