Just received results | ADHD Information

Thank you so much for your input. I think I'm going to hold off on this treatment until after we've been in therapy and changed his meds. Hopefully that will work. I guess they Neuro wanted to do the therapy for his congitive disorder as his front lobes aren't developed enough and he has a hard time processing information and memory to a certain extent. I think that will be a last choice after trying all the other things. Thanks again!gettingclear and lillian have tried neurofeedback with success. Go to the alternatives board and search the posts under undername gettingclear.
There's a long one on this topic.

Hi and welcome.  I haven't had dd do neurofeedback.  My SIL has done it with her son.  She thinks it helps, as long as you don't let them watch TV or do video games.  I guess that can undo the brain training?  Anyway, at her request, I asked our neuropsychologist about doing neurofeedback, and he said he was against it after reading the research.  He didn't think the research really proved neurofeedback lessened ADHD symptoms.  Also, it is very $$$$. 

p.s. there are some threads on this topic on the Alternatives board.

cr12345mr39025.6340277778My daughter's doctor also recommended against neurofeedback because it is not proven. We were also in a hurry for treatment results becuase my daughter was failing school and had become depressed, anxious and was having some scary rages, so we did not really feel we had time to explore alternatives much (due to the time they can take). A co-worker took his son for neurofeedback after a head injury caused the son to have ADHD like symptoms. It seemed to help but did not last (again, this was a head injury, not true ADHD). vickie39025.6425

Anyone? LOL

Hello. We had testing done with a neuropsychologist and we received the diagnosis today. We have ADHD (which was previously diagnosed), Mood Disorder, and a Congitive Disorder. He has recommended doing  Nuerofeedback. Has anyone tried this therapy and has it worked? Any suggestions and comments regarding this newer therapy would be appreciated. Thank you.
