“There is hope for people with ADD as well as its companions, hyperactivity, aggressiveness, violent behavior, and substance abuse:  neurofeedback. 

Neurofeedback is a sophisticated form of biofeedback that actually trains the brain to speed up.  It can do on a permanent basis what Ritalin can only do for a few hours, and there are no lasting side effects.     This is at least a quick, non-invasive, cost-effective treatment for attention deficit disorder and its cluster of companion disorders.  So, without years of medical treatment, taking pills, or managing difficult diets, or without months of behavior modification, we can successfully treat ADD, reduce aggressive and violent tendencies, and effectively treat drug and alcohol abuse.”
