This new ADDitude booklet contains everything you need to know about attention deficit: ADHD symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for children and adults just diagnosed. Your child was just diagnosed with attention deficit. Or maybe you've just learned that - after all these years - you have adult ADHD. Either way, you probably have many questions about ADD: How long does it take to feel different once you start medication? Why does your child find it difficult to fall asleep? How can you best manage symptoms. And ADDitude's first annual ADHD 101 Resource Guide has answers. ADHD 101 provides the latest information about getting an accurate ADHD diagnosis and the important steps you need to take afterward. Preschoolers, elementary school children, kids with ADD and learning disabilities, adults, women and girls — all have their own issues and challenges that are addressed in detail. The report contains six sections in all, each full of information, advice, and tips that will help you and your child make the right moves during and after diagnosis. What can you expect if and when you take ADHD medication? What about non-drug therapies, like omega-3 fatty acids, nutrition, and working memory training — do they work? And behavior therapy — how can you use it to encourage good behavior in your child? We spell out the efficacy of each treatment. Many adults opt for ADHD coaching or cognitive behavioral therapy to help them overcome unproductive habits, like forgetfulness or being late. Will these approaches work for you? Finally, if you’re looking for a doctor, coach, counselor, camp, or school, the guide has an extended directory of listings that will put you in touch with top professionals. Bottom line: If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, you have all the help you need to lead a productive life. Learn more about ADHD 101 now!

In this free expert handbook, ADDitude magazine’s top scientific advisors investigate and explain non-drug therapies -- including fish oil, behavior therapy, working-memory training, green time and neurofeedback -- that may relieve ADHD symptoms in children and adults with ADHD. Learn how nutrition, exercise and supplements can help treat ADHD symptoms. ADDitude magazine, the leading publication for families and adults living with attention deficit disorder (ADHD), today released an expert report on the non-medical treatment of ADHD symptoms. Top ADHD doctors and treatment specialists contributed to the free ADDitude Guide to Alternative ADHD Treatment, which investigates and clearly explains the benefits and risks of natural ADHD therapies like fish oil. For the nearly 2 million parents of American children diagnosed ADHD, Adderall, Strattera and Ritalin are household names – familiar and well-documented treatments for ADHD symptoms. Natural ADHD treatments like neurofeedback, working-memory treatment and omega-3 fatty acids may be less recognizable, but are they any less effective in combating distractibility and impulsivity? The ADDitude Guide to Alternative ADHD Treatment aims to answer this question with information from top industry experts on, for example, strategies for using behavior therapy with ADHD children. ADHD doctors also recommend omega-3 fatty acids to sharpen mental focus, and explain the ideal balance of EPA and DHA in fish oil supplements. And they present balanced descriptions of neurofeedback and working-memory treatment -- the brain exercises that promise reduced impulsivity and increased attentiveness. Finally, the ADDitude treatment report outlines ways that ADHD children and adults can change their diet and exercise to improve executive functions like sequencing, working memory, prioritizing, and sustaining attention. In this age of As-Seen-on-TV miracle cures, trusted information like ADDitude’s is more important than ever for parents of children with ADHD and for adults with ADD trying to determine how alternative ADHD treatments can work in concert with traditional medications for the greatest treatment impact. « All Blogs |
