Non-medical ADD/ADHD treatments.
"Acupuncture is the go-to alternative treatment for me. It calms my mind when it’s racing -- which it does a lot." -Dian, Harbor City, California
"Mindfulness-based psychotherapy gave me new skills to re-examine my life. Cogmed working-memory training improved my executive function." -Michael Smith, Rockville, Maryland
"Neurofeedback made the difference for my son. It also calmed his anxiety." -Sue, Wisconsin
Setting goals and earning rewards.
"Setting goals with a coach, establishing practical routines, and taking advantage of my 'best' time of the day. Recently, I’ve tried to envision what I want out of life: a neat desk, time to read for pleasure, and to stay in touch with friends." -An ADDitude reader
"I make to-do lists. At the end of each day, I jot down the things that I need to do the following day. That starts me off on the right foot in the morning." -Judi Nett, Michigan
"Rewarding myself when I meet a goal and having an 'accountability partner' or mentor to keep me on track."
Lemelia Bonner, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
