Summary:

"How to Overcome ADHD Without Medication" was developed through years of research as well as field work in the public school system and in private tutoring. This easy to read book also contains ideas reflecting the life work from a number of educational and mental health professionals from various specific fields. Some of the non-pharmaceutical methods covered in "Overcoming ADHD without Medication," in addition to discussing lifestyle changes and prevention, are art and art therapy, green therapy, nutrition, biofeedback, positive teaching methods and adjustments, positive parenting adjustments. Childhood depression and childhood bipolar disorder are also discussed. There is much circumstantial, observational as well as scientific evidence that supports the view that non-pharmaceutical methods of treating ADHD, including self-help, are not only of much value, but can effectively take a child out of the classifiable range.
