ADHD is not just a disorder of attention and hyperactivity. It also involves social interactions, bodily awareness, anxiety, reward systems and numerous co-occurring learning disabilities. Recent research is shedding light on the role of polymorphisms (genetic variants) that help explain some of the variability in medication responsiveness and nutritional sensitivities. Brain studies showing differences in activation of neural networks are being used to improve the effectiveness of neurofeedback. Dr. Brown will review some of this important research and discuss the use of evidence-based herbs, nutrients, mind-body approaches, neurofeedback and mild brain stimulation treatments.
