ADHD and Transcendental Meditation (T.M) I am looking into trying Transcendental Meditation (T.M) with my 10 year old son as a supplemental treatment for his ADHD. My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 5 years old when he first started Kindergarten. Has anyone tried T.M for ADHD? What was your experience with it? Quote

Alternative ADHD Treatments This is an interesting question. I haven't heard of using transcendental meditation to treat ADHD symptoms in children, but I know many ADD adult use meditation with great success. I would recommend checking out this new slide show from ADDitude all about the different methods of brain-training used to treat ADHD symptoms - everything from neurofeedback to working memory training to meditation. Best of luck. And let us know what happens! Quote
