ADHD: Non-Medication Treatments and Tips You Need to Know

By Heather Foreman

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:


Book 1: ADHD is a condition in the brain many people are somewhat familiar with.

However, when it comes to the specifics, the majority of us are still left in the dark. The main essence of ADHD is missing when people just think that you’re hyperactive and unfocused. There is way more to it. And not only is so much more to say about the causes of ADHD, but about the consequences as well.

For example, people with ADHD are more prone to addictions or suicide. There is medication for ADHD, but there are also other methods that can help contain the symptoms of the disorder. Moreover, people with ADHD can have specific strengths, too, that other people are lacking.

For all these reasons and more, the author of this book has decided to address some of these issues and give you a better grasp of what ADHD is, where it comes from, and what it means in someone’s everyday life.


Book 2: What is executive function?

Can video games help people with ADHD?

Is suicide related to ADHD?

How about emotional trauma?

How does ADHD affect families and the way they function?

Questions like these have been researched and put together in this book. You will learn about many aspects of ADHD and the side effects of the condition that you may have never heard of before. These pieces of information are short but to-the-point. They are valuable gems for people who are interested in the topic.

If that is you, then I encourage you to start reading or listening to this book.

Chapter 1: What Is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (previously known as attention deficit disorder or ADD) is a neurobehavioral condition which is identified by core signs of inattentiveness, hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsivity. ADHD is thought to be the most typical youth mental health disorder, with rough estimates of its prevalence in kids varying from 5 to 11 percent. ADHD in adulthood is thought to be less typical, with around 2 to 5 percent of adults that have been detected.

ADHD signs can disrupt work, school, home tasks, and relationships, and managing the disorder can be a difficulty for both children and adults. Thankfully, there are healings that have been shown to be effective, and anybody that is impacted by ADHD can learn survival skills to work around problems and harness their skills-- as many successful people with ADHD have already done.

What does ADHD seem like?

Some children and grownups with ADHD find it hard to concentrate on jobs at school or work and may daydream often. Kids with ADHD might become disruptive, defiant, or have difficulty agreeing with parents, peers, or teachers. Children who deal with hyperactivity and impulsivity, in particular, usually have behavior obstacles that can be difficult for grownups to manage.

Grownups, on the other hand, could be more likely to report feeling agitated or fidgety; if they have to cope with impulsivity, they might make rash choices that adversely affect their life. For both children and grownups, executive functioning (planning, psychological regulation, and decision-making) is usually impacted also. Most kids and grownups display either hyperactive or neglectful symptoms of ADHD, but it's also possible for both sets of signs to exist together, in what's generally called combined type ADHD.

Is ADHD real?

Most psychiatrists and psychologists agree that ADHD is real. It runs in families, (suggesting hereditary roots) and neurological proof has found it to be associated with changes in brain development. ADHD is also clearly connected to academic, work, and relationship problems-- and reacts to treatment-- suggesting that it has medical validity. But whether the disorder is overdiagnosed and overtreated-- or whether it shows a set of developed qualities that have become less adaptive in today's world-- is widely disputed.

What triggers ADHD?

Like many other psychological health disorders, the causes of ADHD remain under investigation. Genes are theorized to play a key role, as are environmental influences such as direct exposure to toxins in the womb and early traumatic experiences. Since ADHD is a behavioral condition, expectations of proper behavior, especially in kids, likely impact diagnoses in some cases. For more on the reasons for ADHD, see Causes and Risk Factors in ADHD.

How is ADHD treated?

Experts have discussed whether treatment for ADHD should be primarily behavior (treatment, attention training, increased play, greater structure) or medicinal. Several large research studies have determined that a mix of both may be most effective.

Is ADHD hereditary?

Considerable evidence suggests that ADHD has both genetic and ecological underpinnings. Twin research studies, for example, have found that identical twins are considerably more likely than fraternal twins to both be identified with ADHD or display ADHD-like behaviors. There is no single gene that is considered the main reason for ADHD; rather, just like many psychiatric conditions, it is thought to be connected to many hereditary versions, only some of which have been revealed.

Is ADHD an illness of modernity?

Some professionals argue that what we call ADHD is actually an illness of civilization-- that is, a condition that arises because of a mismatch between people' evolutionary roots and our contemporary environment. High energy levels, for example, may have been adaptive for a hunter-gatherer but are bothersome in a contemporary class. Some prominent kid development specialists have noted that the recent rise in ADHD diagnoses has accompanied an increased focus (especially in American schools) on extensive standardized testing and minimized playtime-- suggesting that at least some children identified with ADHD have been put in environments that
