I make my living teaching others how to manage ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). While there are no magic “cures” for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, there are various methods that can help one manage the symptoms and challenges.

As a result, sufferers of ADD/ADHD are quite capable of leading happy, healthy, and productive lives.

1. Coaching. For adults, Coaching focuses on practical ways to manage Attention Deficit Disorder in an everyday context. It is a way to learn how to be more effective and focused at work and at home.

Coaches work to help those manage ADD. Coaches work in person and are usually available via phone and Internet.

2. In my personal and clinical experience, the Total Focus Program is single most effective resource for children and parents. For adults the Conquer ADD Program is the most effective treatment option to treat and manage ADD.

3. Medication. While medications are the most common treatment method to manage ADD, there is an old saying that goes “Pills do not teach skills.” Medications are not a “cure” or “quick fix” but they are a useful tool that can stabilize or help quiet the more problematic symptoms. This enables the user to focus and be productive.

Medications have been proven effective for over 70% of Adult ADD sufferers. Often the focus is finding the correct medication or combination of medications and the optimal dose at the right time of day. As a result, it is essential to work collaboratively with the prescribing physician or psychiatrist in order to find the correct balance.

4. Behavioral Therapy. Different from coaching, a behavioral therapist can help unearth and treat any past emotional roadblocks that may be hindering your present functioning. Also, a therapist is required when one has other diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse which are common in those who suffer from ADD/ADHD.

5. Support Groups. It is empowering to meet others who are experiencing similar challenges. Those in in same support group not only “get” it, but they can offer advice and solutions. In turn, you can offer the same. Over time, you will enjoy being with others who consider the condition a gift.

6. Diet. Eat a high-protein diet that includes beans, cheese, eggs, meat, nuts, or protein supplements. They are thought to improve concentration and possibly increase the time ADHD medications work.

7. Exercise. Physical activity boosts the neurotransmitters associated with Adult ADHD (Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephrine). Exercise also relieves depression and anxiety.

8. Slow Down. Take regularly scheduled breaks from whatever you are doing.

9. Meditation and Yoga. Sit and relax in silence and let all passing thoughts drift by like floating clouds. Try focusing on your breath as it passes through your nostrils for a few minutes. Over time, you will learn how to quiet your mind from racing thoughts. Try it a few minutes at a time, then build up gradually.

Similarly, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong, can help one relax and help one to “be” in the present moment.

10. Tutors. Tutors can help one overcome educational or training challenges.

11. Professional Organizers. Many of the world’s most successful people suffer from ADD/ADHD and you do not have to be a high-powered business executive to enjoy the benefit of bookkeepers, virtual assistants, etc.

More and more people are utilizing services such as Elance.com’s time management experts to help them with everyday tasks. Virtual assistants can do anything from schedule reservations or help compose memos. Hiring someone to do tedious paperwork pays for itself, and can make the difference between success and constant frustration.

A Google search for “succeed with ADHD” will bring up a plethora of sites regarding children and Ritalin, but if you don’t want to medicate your child indefinitely they will not help you One site that offers a natural and effective alternative is succeed with adhd. It is run by Amrit Singh, himself diagnosed with ADD who stresses the importance of not letting the label dominate your life or the life of your children. It is essential he stresses to help each individual uncover a strong and abiding sense of who they are and what personal contribution they have to make despite of and because of their ADD.

To succeed with ADHD requires capitalizing on our passions, minimizing fear and doubt and strengthening the connection to the part of us that knows what action to take. Paradoxically it is an increased sensitivity to our environment that can so easily distract and paralyze us that is also where our greatest strength is to be found. Staying in touch with our sensitivity and therefore our creativity, however painful that may sometimes be is essential to uncovering how to channel our gifts and make a real contribution to society.

Five keys to succeed are proposed by Amrit as ways to give the stable platform needed to launch our success. Various methods are used, including yoga, meditation and one to one consultations.

If certain targeted meditations are practiced for up to half an hour a day you will see some immediate improvements and after forty such days you will be able to think more clearly, control your impulses more frequently, experience a more relaxed and less agitated state of mind and have an increased ability to focus and concentrate.

If you have been looking for some time you will have realised that you can’t find one single programme that will address all the various ways you as an adult or your children maybe affected by ADHD/ADD. Life can be very challenging and it can’t be fixed by another product, technique or pill. A more comprehensive approach is needed.

You can work with an expert like Amrit Singh who can help you unlock all of your potential in order to succeed by finding out how to focus on what is important in your life.

You will learn to channel your energy in a way that will allow you to overcome the most challenging aspects of ADHD. You will also learn how to train your mind and how to manage any frustration and anger you may feel. Utilising Karam Kriya (applied numerology) and the 5 elements with you or your child means looking closely at your ‘constitutional tendencies’ to uncover where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then setting up an individualised programme for capitalising on your strengths and taking action.

This is just a glimpse into the ways you can learn not only to live with ADHD, but to succeed with it as well.

Recently a White House Award was given to Dr. Gregory Fabiano for his work on ADHD but it has received very little attention in the press. This may or may not have something to do with powerful lobbies connected to the big pharmaceutical companies who would not be too pleased to learn the results of his work. His research showed unequivocably that ADHD behavioral therapy together with some medication was one of the best alternative methods for ADD and ADHD. His work showed that unless behavior modification was applied then medication alone was not effective and the only lasting results could be had through ADHD behavior therapy.

Fabiano’s work also showed that once behavior modification was in place, medication could be reduced which meant that any harmful side effects or long term health risks could be eliminated. Not good news for the drug companies who insist that their psychostimulants are entirely safe and that any side effects are minimal. It is strange but true that behavioral therapy as one of the alternative methods for ADD and ADHD has received so little attention. It should not even be alternative, it should be mainstream. Sadly the drug companies have a hidden agenda and they will even pay for research on homeopathic remedies for ADHD to show that they are ineffective and even unsafe.

All sorts of alternative methods for ADD and ADHD have been tried and these have ranged from Chinese herbs, Bach flower remedies, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and ECG biofeedback for hyperactivity.

Many parents now know that the side effects of psychostimulants are too risky and time consuming for them and they are looking for one of the easier alternative methods for ADD and ADHD. In my view, there is no need for psychostimulants (the drug companies cannot tell us how exactly they work on the child’s brain) as a homeopathic remedy for ADHD will do the job just as well, if not better. These homeopathic ingredients have shown that hyperactivity can be reduced, concentration improved and focused while the child will have fewer temper tantrums. If we couple that with a few sensible strategies from ADHD behavior therapy then that, in my view, is the one of the best alternative methods for ADD and ADHD now in existence.

Cool stuff.

When I was growing up I had trouble in school with non-mathematical subjects and a number of therapists (3 if I recall) diagnosed me with ADD or ADHD and wanted to put me on Ritalin (which I believe was gaining popularity with my generation) but I was so brainwashed by the “say no to drugs” campaigns I was subjected to weekly that I screamed and cried and refused to take anything. I worked around the problems focusing and I even made tricks to help me study (record myself read aloud and playing it back over and over). Anything to be normal.

I’m 28 years old and I’m through with college and well into my career and I’ve had what I consider to be good deal of successes but lately I’ve been having trouble focusing. I have an organic diet (though not vegan) and I run 4 miles 4-5 days a week. I lift weights and even sometimes join my fiance at yoga. Bottom line I have discipline but I can’t help but wonder if I’m being held back which brings me to my question…

Is Ritalin a slippery slope? Is it a drug that I will need to be on for the rest of my life to reap the rewards or is it actually correcting a chemical imbalance?

Thank you for reading this.
