Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder

ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, can have a significant impact on individuals in various aspects of their lives. People with ADHD may struggle with maintaining focus, often becoming easily distracted by external stimuli or their own thoughts. This can affect their performance at school or work, as well as their ability to complete tasks efficiently. Additionally, impulsivity and hyperactivity can make it challenging for individuals with ADHD to regulate their behavior and emotions, leading to difficulties in social interactions and relationships. The daily challenges presented by ADHD can be exhausting and overwhelming for those affected.

Both children and adults can experience ADHD. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 9.4% of children aged 2-17 years in the United States have been diagnosed, and it's estimated that about 4.4% of adults have ADHD.

Neurofeedback for ADHD

Neurofeedback has shown results in alleviating symptoms of ADHD by regulating abnormal brain activity commonly associated with the ADHD. As individuals learn how to self-regulate their brain function, this often leads to improved focus, attention, impulse control, and improved overall cognitive functioning. Research, and the experiences of many clients trained at Heart Matters, has shown that swLORETA neurofeedback can result in long-lasting effects, with many clients experiencing reduced ADHD symptoms even after the sessions have ended. Neurofeedback provides a medication-free treatment option for effectively managing or eliminating ADHD symptoms in both adults and children.
