ADHD — Can Neurofeedback Help?

Symptoms of ADHD

The main symptoms of ADHD include impulsiveness, difficulty paying attention, and restlessness. Individuals with ADHD can become easily distracted, restless, overwhelmed, or frustrated. ADHD can lead to outbursts of anger, poor concentration, difficulty completing tasks, and trouble engaging with others. Children with ADHD typically struggle in academic and social settings and are frequently misunderstood, often being wrongly viewed as undisciplined, lazy, uncooperative, or anti-social.

Neurofeedback is a Natural & Clinically-Proven Approach

Neurofeedback is a natural method that transforms the way the brain operates. Using this method, a person’s brain learns how to function effectively and efficiently. Supported by over 50 years of research, neurofeedback addresses the underlying factors that lead to ADHD, using data to help patients train their brains to enhance focus and improve impulse control.

The Role of Medication

Healthcare professionals traditionally prescribe medication to treat symptoms of ADHD. Medications, such as Adderall XR and Concerta, stimulate the neurotransmitter dopamine. This neurotransmitter is associated with attention, pleasure, and movement. Although medications can mitigate ADHD symptoms, they do not fix the underlying cause.

Drawbacks of Medication

Medication doesn’t cure ADHD. Once medication is stopped, symptoms typically return quite quickly. Considerable experimentation may be required to find the drug best suited for each individual. Side effects accompanying medications mean that a pharmaceutical approach may not be the best option, especially for children.

How Neurofeedback Works for ADHD

There is an improvement in concentration and general behavior in patients that undergo neurofeedback as attention span increases. Neurofeedback can transform abnormal brainwave patterns into a healthy, normal, organized pattern. As a result, the brain becomes more stable.

A major benefit of neurofeedback is that patients with ADHD can be expected to achieve a positive and enduring outcome after an average of only 30 to 40 sessions.

Transforming ADHD at the Root

ADHD is not a disease; it is a term used to describe a combination of symptoms commonly found together. Neurofeedback capitalizes on the brain’s powerful ability to change itself in response to positive feedback. As the brain becomes well-regulated, the multiple symptoms of ADHD can fade away.
