Do non-medication approaches reduce ADHD symptoms? Are supplements, nutrition, and exercise shown to complement medication? What does the science say? Complementary Approaches for Managing ADHD answers those questions and more in its 199 pages.

9-PART GUIDE TO ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO ADHD

Complementary Approaches for Managing ADHD details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

CHAPTER 1: THE ADHD TREATMENT LANDSCAPE TODAY

• Epigenetic research suggests that modifications in nutrition, sleep, and exercise can positively impact symptoms of ADHD.
• Many complementary approaches address ADHD’s secondary issues, such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation.
• Integrative medicine considers the whole person and devises a patient’s care plan comprising conventional treatments and complementary therapies.

CHAPTER 2: 10 THERAPIES FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH ADHD

• Therapies for ADHD encompass a range of approaches from skills training to talk therapy and creating art to working with horses.
• ADHD medication paired with behavioral training is the most effective treatment for ADHD in children, especially those who also exhibit oppositional behavior.
• Finding the right therapy requires self-reflection, research, and a discussion with your treatment team.

CHAPTER 3: HOW EXERCISE AND GREEN TIME AFFECT ADHD SYMPTOMS

• Strong evidence shows that physical activity promotes brain growth, improves brain efficiency, and strengthens learning abilities.
• Time spent outside in natural settings reduces inattentiveness in children.
• Identifying goals, recruiting an accountability partner, varying activities, and scheduling workouts are some ways to incorporate exercise into daily routines.

CHAPTER 4: THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN THE ADHD BRAIN

• Unhealthy eating patterns are often the byproducts of ADHD symptoms like impulsivity and inattention.
• Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins benefit ADHD brains.
• Studies suggest that children with ADHD are adversely affected by food additives, artificial food coloring, and flavors,

CHAPTER 5: VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS THAT SUPPORT BRAIN HEALTH

• Supplements and vitamins are not meant to replace medication and behavioral therapy.
• Studies suggest that people with ADHD have low levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to be important in the body’s production of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
• The best time to take a melatonin supplement is 90 to 120 minutes before bedtime; any later may lead to delayed sleep and difficulties waking up in the morning.

CHAPTER 6: CALMING ADHD BRAINS WITH MINDFULNESS AND SOMATIC THERAPY

• Mindfulness trains the brain to be less reactive, more observant, and more self-aware.
• Mindfulness techniques can enhance social skills, improve focus, and promote emotional regulation in children at home and at school.
• Many people associate meditation with a “spiritual lifestyle;” however, mindfulness is not a spiritual practice, but a type of meditation.

CHAPTER 7: WHAT IS ADHD COACHING, AND HOW DO YOU FIND A COACH?

• ADHD coaches are trained professionals who help individuals with ADHD develop strategies and skills to manage their symptoms, but they are not therapists or medical experts.
• No regulating body currently certifies ADHD coaches; several institutions have established robust criteria to be an ADHD coach.
• Age is not a criterion for coaching—ADHD coaches can work with individuals of all ages, including children, teens, adults, and older adults.

CHAPTER 8: BRAIN TRAINING AND NEUROFEEDBACK: WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS

• Brain training refers to a range of programs, tools, and exercises meant to strengthen the brain by changing its structure, altering brain waves, or improving specific brain-based skills.
• Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses EEG to help patients train their brains to improve focus, impulsivity, and executive functions.
• According to research, neurofeedback and brain training are not effective standalone treatments for ADHD.

CHAPTER 9: ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES NOT BACKED BY SCIENCE

• Alternative approaches, such as lion’s mane mushroom, kava, caffeine, and homeopathy, are not recommended to treat ADHD.
• Anecdotal evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) oil may help reduce symptoms, but no large studies recommend CBD oil for ADHD.
• Small studies link turmeric and curcumin, hypnotherapy, and EFT tapping to positive outcomes for individuals with ADHD; however, robust clinical trials remain sparse.

If you are overwhelmed, know you are not alone. 10 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About My Child’s ADHD is here to provide answers and support.

ADDitude surveyed its community to identify what doctors told caregivers after their children received an ADHD diagnosis — and what they didn’t, but caregivers wished they had. In this eBook, we highlight the top 10.

10-PART GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’s ADHD

In its 185+ pages, 10 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About My Child’s ADHD details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• CHAPTER 1: ADHD IS NEUROLOGICALLY LINKED TO EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION

  • Emotional dysregulation, including anger, irritability, and rejection sensitive disorder (RSD), are fundamental parts of the ADHD experience but are noticeably missing from diagnostic criteria.
  • ADHD increases the likelihood of developing oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and other related conditions.
  • Emotionally dysregulated teens are more sensitive to peer rejection and more likely to engage in risky behaviors and impulsive decision-making than their neurotypical peers.

• CHAPTER 2: ADHD IS DIFFERENT (AND OFTEN MISSED) IN GIRLS

  • Girls show fewer outward symptoms of ADHD compared to boys, which contributes to them being largely misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, or untreated.
  • Teen girls with ADHD face a significantly higher risk for self-harm, unplanned pregnancy, and intimate partner violence compared to girls without ADHD.
  • Fluctuating hormones play a significant role in cognition, behavior, and ADHD symptoms.

• CHAPTER 3: NOT TREATING ADHD POSES REAL DANGERS

  • Using stimulants for ADHD does not cause addiction to stimulants or other substances. In fact, the opposite is true.
  • Without treatment, teens with ADHD face a higher risk of serious traffic accidents, unsafe sexual practices, substance abuse, and early death.
  • Treating ADHD with medication — stimulants, in particular — may improve driving safety and mitigate risk for drivers with ADHD.

• CHAPTER 4: ADHD MEDICATION RARELY WORKS ON THE FIRST TRY

  • Decades of research confirm that the benefits of both stimulant and non-stimulant medications for ADHD far outweigh the risks.
  • Trial and error is required to find the right medication at the right dosage.
  • ADHD medications do not linger in the system; they must be taken daily to achieve continuous symptom control.

• CHAPTER 5: RESEARCH SUPPORTS A FEW COMPLEMENTARY ADHD APPROACHES

  • Physical activity promotes brain growth, improves brain efficiency, and strengthens learning abilities.
  • Poor eating habits do not cause ADHD. However, consuming unprocessed foods, proteins, vegetables, and fruits can help your brain perform better.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parent training in behavior management as a first-line ADHD treatment for children diagnosed before age 7 and as a complementary treatment approach thereafter.

• CHAPTER 6: ADHD RARELY EXISTS IN ISOLATION

  • As many as 60% of children with ADHD have at least one related condition.
  • Treating ADHD may resolve and improve co-existing conditions, or it may exacerbate them. Most comorbidities require separate treatment.
  • Girls with ADHD suffer from serious comorbid conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, with more frequency and severity than do their neurotypical peers or boys with ADHD.

• CHAPTER 7: ADHD AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTION ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

  • Children with ADHD may not think or act age-appropriately because they develop executive functions a few years behind their neurotypical peers.
  • The social executive function skills that elude kids with ADHD can lead to awkward social interactions and difficulty making and sustaining friendships.
  • The difficulty for ADHD brains to “see” and “feel” time causes time blindness and issues with procrastination and prioritization.

• CHAPTER 8: STUDENTS WITH ADHD HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS AT SCHOOL

  • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees the right of students with qualified disabilities, such as ADHD, to participate in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that provide special education and related services to improve students’ academic outcomes.
  • Not all children with ADHD qualify for an IEP; however, students may still be eligible for help under Section 504 (of the Rehabilitation Act).
  • If a student has an IEP or a 504 Plan, the school staff is legally required to implement it.

• CHAPTER 9: PEOPLE WITH ADHD ACHIEVE REMARKABLE THINGS

  • Putting a spotlight on a child’s “islands of competence” shifts the attention away from their weaknesses.
  • Teaching a child how ADHD symptoms impact their decisions, thoughts, and actions is the first step in helping them manage these traits.
  • Parents need to identify their children’s learning and executive function challenges early on so that they can receive accommodations and practice strategies in school and beyond.

• CHAPTER 10: YOUR NEURODIVERGENT CHILD NEEDS TO BE PARENTED DIFFERENTLY

  • Raising happy, healthy children with ADHD comes down to acceptance, leveraging their strengths, and understanding that mistakes are inevitable.
  • Setting boundaries is a skill all parents must learn and practice to prevent burnout and improve their wellbeing.
  • Scaffolding is not about making excuses. It is about demonstrating, teaching, and slowly abdicating control.

10-PART GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING ADULT ADHD

In its 160+ pages, 10 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About ADHD details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• CHAPTER 1: ADHD IN ADULTS IS POORLY STUDIED AND UNDERSTOOD

  • DSM-5 symptom criteria are based on studies of young boys, which impedes the accurate diagnosis of ADHD in adults.
  • ADHD symptom severity and presentation fluctuate over the lifespan, which could influence diagnosis and treatment.
  • The first-ever U.S. guidelines for assessing and treating adult ADHD are expected in 2025.

• CHAPTER 2: ADHD DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA EXCLUDE SOME OF ITS MOST IMPAIRING SYMPTOMS

  • Emotional dysregulation, including anger and irritability, is common but noticeably missing from the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, leading to mood disorder misdiagnoses.
  • While rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is not a formal diagnosis, it is a common and disruptive phenomenon among people with ADHD.
  • Adults with inattentive ADHD may experience more mental fatigue and forgetfulness, and lower sustained energy throughout a task than do adults without ADHD.

• CHAPTER 3: ADHD IS DIFFERENT AND SEVERE IN WOMEN

  • Lingering stereotypes, referral bias, internalized symptoms, gender role expectations, comorbidities, and hormonal fluctuations all complicate the ADHD presentation in women.
  • Women’s propensity to mask and overcompensate for their ADHD symptoms often results in an atypical presentation of ADHD unfamiliar to many clinicians.
  • During perimenopause and menopause, many women experience cognitive changes that mimic and may be confused with ADHD.

• CHAPTER 4: NOT TREATING ADHD POSES REAL DANGERS

  • Using stimulants for ADHD does not cause addiction to stimulants or other substances. In fact, the opposite is true.
  • Without treatment, adults with ADHD face a higher risk of serious traffic accidents, hospitalizations, substance abuse addiction, and early death.
  • Use of ADHD medication — stimulants, in particular — may improve driving safety and mitigate risk for drivers with ADHD.

• CHAPTER 5: ADHD MEDICATION RARELY WORKS WELL ON THE FIRST TRY

  • Decades of research confirm that the benefits of both stimulant and non-stimulant medications for ADHD far outweigh the risks.
  • Many adults taking ADHD medications for the first time find their prescriptions don’t work initially the way they expected. Trial and error is required to find the right medication at the right dosage.
  • There is no universal “optimal dosage” of any ADHD medication; the best dose is highly personal and based on the rate at which the body absorbs the medication.

• CHAPTER 6: RESEARCH SUPPORTS A FEW COMPLEMENTARY ADHD APPROACHES

  • Physical activity promotes brain growth, improves brain efficiency, and strengthens learning abilities.
  • Poor eating habits do not cause ADHD. However, consuming unprocessed foods, proteins, vegetables, and fruits can help your brain perform better.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help adults with ADHD correct irrational thought processes, adopt coping strategies, and manage negative emotions.

• CHAPTER 7: ADHD RARELY EXISTS IN ISOLATION

  • As many as 80% of adults with ADHD have at least one related condition.
  • Treating ADHD may resolve and improve co-existing conditions, or it may exacerbate them. Most comorbidities require separate treatment.
  • Women with ADHD suffer from serious comorbid conditions with more frequency and severity than do their neurotypical peers or men with ADHD.

• CHAPTER 8: ADHD AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTION ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

  • The self-regulation problems inherent in ADHD stem from deficits in executive function, or the mental skills that allow us to initiate and carry out actions toward a future goal.
  • ADHD minds struggle to “see” time and “feel” the future. Viewing ADHD as a time-perception disorder will change how you understand and manage it.
  • The biggest trap many adults with ADHD fall into is believing that they can “train away” deficits.

• CHAPTER 9: PEOPLE WITH ADHD HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AT WORK

  • If ADHD symptoms make it hard for you to work, you may be legally disabled and entitled to protections and reasonable workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Individuals with disabilities are protected under federal and state laws from being fired because of their disability or because they were denied reasonable accommodations and could not do their job properly.
  • Employees are not required to disclose their ADHD to their employers unless they request work accommodations.

• CHAPTER 10: ADHD SUPPORT IS CRITICAL

  • Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD can change your life for the better. It can also trigger strong, polar emotions.
  • For people with ADHD, shame arises from the repeated failure to meet expectations from parents, teachers, friends, bosses, and the world.
  • One of the most exhilarating, and perhaps scariest, parts of treating ADHD is reorganizing your life around your strengths, rather than your weaknesses.

If so, you may have an executive function deficit — a hallmark trait of ADHD.

Executive function refers to the cognitive or mental abilities we need to actively pursue our goals and manage everyday life. It’s not that individuals with ADHD have fewer or less effective executive functions. The problem is that executive functioning is applied inconsistently. This occurs when we hyperfocus on interesting tasks but find it painful to focus on what we find boring.

But it’s never too late to improve your executive function skills. The Adult’s Guide to Stronger Executive Functions eBook shows you how.

This rings true for all students, but it echoes more loudly for neurodivergent children and teens. However, most educators receive no formal training for teaching students with ADHD and learning differences (LD). As a result, teachers may mistake ADHD symptoms in the classroom for carelessness, defiance, and/or laziness. They may not recognize that executive functions develop more slowly in these students or realize that these deficits impact how they focus, plan, organize, and learn.

With the right tools, educators can unlock a lifetime of positive learning and show students they are capable and resilient. How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators points the way.

It begins with a simple but critical truth: Students with ADHD learn differently. We identify symptoms of ADHD and learning differences educators seldom recognize at school — and provide solutions for anticipating and addressing each.

Great teachers know that saying the right words in the right way can transform the self-esteem and drive of a formerly defeated student. Here, we highlight how visual and auditory cues and praise make a difference in the classroom. This eBook also provides teachers with communication strategies and scripts to help increase confidence, self-advocacy, and productivity in students with ADHD and LD.

In its 225+ pages, How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:
