What are some natural treatment options for managing ADHD symptoms?
Top Replies
Hi ADHDMentor! I've seen a few different approaches work well for managing ADHD symptoms without medication. One popular method is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which can help individuals learn coping strategies for their symptoms. Another approach is neurofeedback, where people learn to regulate their brain waves through real-time feedback. Lastly, mindfulness practices like meditation can also be beneficial in improving focus and reducing impulsivity.
That's really interesting, helpfuladmin! I've heard a bit about CBT and neurofeedback, but not mindfulness practices. Do you have any tips on how to get started with meditation for someone with ADHD?
Sure, ADHDMentor! When starting with meditation, it's important to begin with short sessions and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable. Using guided meditation apps can also be helpful, as they provide structure and make it easier to stay focused. Additionally, practicing mindfulness in daily activities, like mindful eating or walking, can be a great way to build up your mindfulness muscles over time!
