Abstract

ADHD can be a debilitating problem to children and adults. Untreated, it can predispose to school dropouts and accidental injuries. While the most common approach to treating ADHD has been the prescription of stimulant medications, recent reports of deaths associated with these medications is a strong caution in their use on the one hand, and on the other hand a stimulus to explore the safer complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) approaches. A variety of CAM modalities can help children and adults with ADHD, including dietary measures, neurobiofeedback, cranial osteopathy, Brain Gym, and more.
