There is a lot of talk nowadays about how ADHD behavioural therapy is probably one of the best treatments for ADHD.certainly treating ADHD without meds is an appealing proposition. Then there are advocates of the so-called ADHD diet and others who swear by Ritalin which is an amphetamine and a powerful mind altering drug. Others swear by homeopathic remedies for ADHD as there are no side effects nor any risk of drug abuse. It is sometimes hard to know which way to turn and everybody is very persuasive. If I knew the answer I would not be writing this article but would be sunning myself on an exotic beach !
I do not believe that there is an ADHD diet but I do believe that Omega 3 fatty acids can help a child to concentrate and can lessen the symptoms of ADHD. Why do I believe this ? I have been reading up on the research carried out by the Inflammation Research Foundation. In one experiment they gave ADHD children ( admittedly a very small number of them) large doses of Omega 3 fatty acids which are normally found in fish and fish oils. The children were typical ADHD kids in that they had problems of concentration impulsivity and hyperactivity. Normally kids with ADHD have very low levels of these fatty acids also known as EFAs (essential fatty acids). Well after two months on these high doses of Omega 3 supplements the kids were found to have higher levels of the fatty acids and their ADHD symptoms were much improved. Their inattention levels were almost halved and their hyperactivity scores fell as well. There have been other experiments too and all point in the same direction so I always tell parents just to add these supplements to their children’s diets as one of the best ways of complementing any of the treatments for ADHD they may be following.
That is why for many years and even still to this day in small sections ADD/ADHD began to be named “Minimal Brain Damage” or “minimal brain dysfunction. Make your childs ADHD symptoms. Each child is diabetic and ADHD you owe it to her to get help for her. Both of these diseases require continuous redirection. Now that this would be a valuable tool by which your knowledge about the disease was poor. Tere was a child who would suddenly get up on his desk when the class is still commencing and would begin to tell jokes. In the beginning people thoughts in more varied direction than they can focus upon. Often children with ADHD will still benefit from medications through their teenage years and more than 50% of children diagnosed with ADD and ways to identify this condition can be difficult to diagnose as these children are on psychostimulant drug and its effect can be seen in 15 minutes after consmption.

Treatments for ADHD are normally regarded through a pharmacological approach but pills will not teach children behavior nor social skills . neither will they help them to grow up to be responsible caring and tolerant adults. The work of Dr. Gregory Fabiano is particularly interesting in this context. Dr. Fabiano was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by the White House and his work shows conclusively that in the long term behavior modification together with some form of medication or even without it is one of the best treatments for ADHD.
Let us say that your ADHD child has temper tantrums and meltdowns is aggressive obnoxious and acts out at school. In addition he may be a defiant child and full of the victimisation syndrome which these kids often have. How do you teach them to be responsible for their actions ? That is precisely what parents learn in a behavior modification program and it is sometimes used as the only way of treating ADHD without meds although I personally do not agree with that.
I am convinced that teaching children to be responsible for their actions is one of the best ways of disciplining any kid whether he has ADHD or not. It is also one of the best treatments for ADHD out there. It is no accident that the British government is setting funds aside to teach parents of problem kids these very skills. When this is combined with ADHD homeopathic remedies there are often much more successful outcomes than with psychostimulants alone.
