Explore a Holistic Treatment Approach: Neurofeedback for ADHD
ADHD can be an obstacle in the lives of both children and adults. Treating ADHD can be a challenge for many, especially for those looking for non-invasive or drug-free treatment. Typically, prescription medication is the main form of treatment offered to people struggling with this focus-related condition. ADHD can make even the most common tasks extremely hard to complete, and those with the condition can struggle to maintain focus for short or long periods of time. These symptoms often greatly affect daily life and should not be ignored. If you’re looking for alternative ways to treat this condition, neurofeedback for ADHD can help.
What Is ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by a combination of attentional and motor difficulties. People with ADHD may experience difficulty concentrating, struggle to listen well when spoken to directly, and be inclined to impulsivity and hyperactivity. Most commonly, symptoms of ADHD can be categorized into 3 main buckets, which include:
Inattention
ADHD can cause individuals to have trouble focusing, maintaining attention, and staying organized, but these symptoms are not due to stubbornness or lack of understanding.
Hyperactivity
Those with ADHD may appear to be moving about constantly, even in situations where it is inappropriate. They may even excessively fidget, tap, or talk too much. In adults, hyperactivity may present as extreme restlessness or excessive conversational habits.
Impulsivity
Impulsivity refers to when someone might not consider consequences before an action or may have trouble controlling themselves. Impulsivity could be defined as a person’s tendency to act without thinking first, which often leads to poor decision-making.
Neurofeedback: ADHD Therapy that Works
It’s tricky to treat ADHD because of the complexity of the condition. However, the human brain has an innate ability to change, and you can develop new neural pathways with the right guidance. This process can help alleviate the symptoms of ADHD and lead to long-term relief. That’s what we aim to do with our neurofeedback therapy.
Our neurofeedback for ADHD uses qEEG technology to help patients achieve better mental health by measuring their brainwave patterns. Our team can help patients identify when the brain is functioning at its best and then reinforce that behavior until it becomes second nature.
During a neurofeedback session, several small electrodes will be placed on the scalp that record your brain activity in real-time. As you sit comfortably, your brain goes to work for you. Your coach will continually adjust your training depending on your performance; through repeated exposure to these simple mental exercises, you can gradually develop new neural pathways and establish better control over your brainwaves.
