Yes, it's one of the best ways to address ADHD.

The relaxed brainwaves are often overactive in ADHD and ADD individuals,

and the 'focused' brainwaves are often underactive.

Neurofeedback is biofeedback for the brain, which means no meds are involved.

The research is getting more and more amazing, as this method has been in use for over three decades.
I just finished writing a book, 'The Best Brain Ever! Neurofeedback: Biofeedback for the Brain'. It will be out around 12/1/09 on www.amazon.com

Here is an article I wrote on neurofeedback for ADHD:

Attention Deficit Disorder: There is a way to Get Help Without Drugs!
By Dr. Clare Albright www.TeenPowerTalk.com

Since Attention Deficit Disorder ADD is talked about frequently in main stream media. With movie stars and public figures glamorizing this disorder it may seem like a “cool” problem to have. Looking beyond the obvious benefits of being fastidious and organized lurk a world that can leave people harming themselves and other in order to full fill a skewed version of reality. For the people who can’t leave their home without checking the stove and locking the door 20 times ADD is not cool and very much not fun. They need real relief without taking drugs everyday for the rest of their life.

Frank Coppola, M.D. described ADD perfectly when he said:

“I prefer to distinguish ADD as attention abundance disorder. Everything is just so interesting . . remarkably at the same time.”

Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder have quite a track record. Millions of young people and adults alike know the frustration and anguish that can go hand in hand with ADD or ADHD.

Happily, biofeedback for the brain has a track record of its own; several studies have found that 8 out of 10 (80%) of those with ADD/ADHD who are treated with biofeedback for the brain are able to leave the aggravating symptoms behind for good with just 30-40 sessions in most cases.

These studies have also found that for many of these people, there is a measurable and significant gain of IQ.

Thousands of people quit smoking each year, just to avoid the negative consequences, like lung cancer, for example. Can you imagine how many more people would quit, if they not only could avoid the “bad” things, but could also enjoy a boost of 10 points on their IQ?

This is what can happen for the person who is treated with biofeedback for the brain for ADD/ADHD. Not only will their ADD/ADHD likely become a distant memory, letting them move on with their life without the stress that often accompanies their previous condition, but they may actually be smarter as well.

For the person who has suffered with ADD/ADHD for years, can you imagine how exciting it would be for them to wake up and experience each day like they had always suspected others around them did, but, because of the way their brain was functioning, those days had always been just beyond their reach?

I can tell you what it’s like from my perspective. Each time I see a young life change, and watch their self-esteem blossom with the realization the way they had lived before, will now be a thing of the past, I take time to step back and reflect on how fortunate I am, to have this wonderful and life changing technology (biofeedback for the brain) at my disposal.
