      Medication. It works and the long term outcomes are so much better than unmedicated ADHD. Because it’s a drug people instantly rush to prejudice and superstition. But in effect it’s like giving eye glasses to a kid with poor sight - long term a way better option.

      Do plenty of exercises and balancing (this is important) games with your kid and you’ll get the same effect. However it won’t cure ADHD. Please look at the outcomes of ADHD kids that are unmedicated (spoiler- they’re not good).

    While exercise is certainly great for both body and the brain, it's NOT ENOUGH to make up for the Norepinephrine and dopamine imbalance in the ADHD brain. The ADHD brain simply does not produce enough which is the reason for the difficulty to keep still and pay attention over a longer time frame. It's also the reason why children with ADHD often crave sweets and screen time, both known to raise the dopamine levels. Aaaaand it's the reason why medication (stimulants) are prescribed. Because they also increase the levels. So while exercise is really good and should absolutely be encouraged in kids (and adults) with ADHD and may alleviate symptoms, it's most often not enough to actually manage ADHD long term.

      I'd try reflexology. If with reflexology and acupuncture points an epilepsy can be stopped, why can't help with attention and hormone levels? Probably reflexology is able to treat the roots of the problem.

      The term exercise kinda over simplifies what's being done. Do some digging on Occupational Therapist who specialize in sensory integration. Essentially what's happening here is specific exercises are rewiring the brain so that different parts of the brain can work together and more efficiently.

    • @JM-yf3ol

      ADHD kids who are medicated have better outcomes than ADHD kids that aren’t. It’s as simple as that. Across the board, from mental health, to income, to addiction, to criminality, even dementia is worse in unmedicated ADHD.
      If you’re scared of medicating your child because of some small risks, you MUST weigh that up against the risks of NOT medicating. There’s an incredible amount of research that shows that not medicating, when a diagnosis has been made, is really bad for long term outcomes.
      The only exception is growth, which is entirely down to appetite. Get your medicated kid on a high calorie (but healthy) diet and that all goes away. Avocados, potatoes, bananas, dates. Just get healthy energy into them and the growth issue disappears.

      @marvthedog1972 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      the difference is that one is a condition that will kill you, the other, won't. If you can over come something through mental training and conditioning then that is much better than relying on a drug to do it for you. Naturally it depends on the severity of the ADHD, which is kinda what she said at the very beginning of her interview.

    • @JM-yf3ol
      @JM-yf3ol 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You’re entirely wrong. Unmedicated ADHD leads to worse outcomes across the board. Criminality, mental health, suicide, addiction, relationships, income.
      You’re completely failing to realise the risks of NOT medicating ADHD. Even dementia was halved in medicated ADHD. Getting ADHD diagnoses then not medicating is akin to a poor eye test then not bothering with eye glasses.
      Because the treatment is a drug of abuse people rush to prejudice and superstition. But they work, and not medicating leads to big problems in adulthood. So don’t think that your unmedicated kid is healthier- they almost certainly won’t be. And that goes for mental as well as physical health.
