Long QT and ADD I have a son who has Long QT and ADD, depression, anxiety . .. what really upsets me is he cannot take any meds for attention deficit disorder because of his Long QT. He is 22, taking very mild drugs for depression, has anger issues that meds don't seem to help and just recently stopped going to therapy. I want to help him but don't know what to do. Anyone in same boat? Quote

Alternative Treatment Hi ness: Have you or your son researched alternative treatments like neurofeedback, working-memory therapy, omega-3 fatty acids, etc? Sounds like that could definitely be worthwhile... and ADDitude just released a free booklet all about alternative ADHD treatments: http://www.additudemag.com/RCLP/sub/2729.html I hope that helps!
