What are some of the best ADHD treatments?

There are several ADHD treatments available these days, from counseling, to behavioral therapy , to drug therapy. Services offer occupational therapy, cranio-sacral therapy, mineral and heavy metal chelation, herbal and vitamin supplements, dietary regimens and more. One expert will tout his favorite alternative as the end of ADHD if only everyone would listen. Another expert will recommend a complicated combination of absolutely everything on the market (most of which isn't covered by any insurance.) The best ADHD treatment is simply what works for your child and fits into your beliefs, budget, and lifestyle.

Nutritional approaches, including herbal supplements and dietary restrictions work best when managed by a holistic physician. Instead of buying the latest book about the ADHD diet, consult with a naturopathic physician, who can test your child's allergies and heavy metal levels, and consult their body chemistry, using actual lab results, to ascertain the need for supplements. Parents who have used this approach swear by the results, since they're personalized for every child. Simply placing your child on a strange diet because it worked for the neighbor, or because you read an article about it, isn't really a scientific approach and isn't likely to work.

Counseling and behavior therapy boast the highest long-term success rates. Counseling is important for helping ADHD kids maintain a positive self-image. Being different can be stressful to a child and the social limitations of ADHD can make a child feel lonely, defective or worse. Behavioral therapy helps an ADHD child physically learn to manage their own energy levels. By deliberately involving kids in active pursuits, and strategically working on calmer activities in between, a behavioral therapist who deals with ADHD kids can work miracles. Children can learn to recognize and appreciate their own inner guidance system, and learn how to work with their high energy levels, being productive and helpful rather than distracting.
