Neurofeedback helps change the way the ADHD and ADD brain functions. ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD and ADD are often associated with such things as lack of concentration, difficulty focusing on a specific tasks for extended periods of time, restlessness, difficulty organizing, forgetfulness, trouble with follow through, and low self-esteem. All children, and adults, have behaviors in common with ADHD or ADD at times. However, ADHD and ADD are chronic conditions that impact the persons daily life. It is a biological disorder caused by underactivity in certain portions of the brain. Left untreated, they can interfere with success at school, home, and career. In a study exploring the efficacy of Neurofeedback three approaches were reviewed. Below is a summary of the findings.Three other approaches have been studied neural training approaches like electroencepthalographic (EEG) biofeedback (EBF or Neurofeedback), cognitive training, and cognitive behavioral therapy." Among these options, perhaps the strongest evidence base is that for Neurofeedback a form of applied neuroscience. Many studies have shown ADHD is associated with reduced activity in the frontal cortex. Stimulant medications are known to result in increased activation, particularly in frontal areas. Neurofeedback or neurotherapy, is repetitive training to address this core problem by increasing activation in the brain. The process can be described as feedback guided learning or operant conditioning of cortical activity.Importantly, several follow-up studies have looked at the subjects several months and even up to 10 years after the training ended. As a group, the gains in functioning from the training were shown to last. In a 3-6 month follow-up, measures of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity showed improvement beyond scores obtained at the end of treatment. In a 2-year follow-up, subjects continued to demonstrate significantly improved levels (when compared to pretreatment) of cortical activation in the EEG and sustained gains on a computerized test of ADHD symptoms, as well as on behavioral ratings throughout the 3-year period, even when medications were withdrawn. Eighty percent of the patients in this study were able to decrease daily dosages of stimulants by at least 50%.(Treating ADHD: Exploring the need for evidence-based options, by: Laurence M.

See what others are saying about neurofeedback therapy."He is doing well in school and we have seen a ton of improvement on his homework. He has calmed down but I am still hoping to see more improvement as we continue training. It's easy to get him to do his homework and he does not struggle to focus anymore. We tried a lot of discipline and positive reinforcement which helped some, but we still had major issues at school. With Neuorfeedback he is doing really well at school now and I dont feel like I have had to do anything. I would recommend Neurofeedback because it works!" -Mother of 9-year-old son with ADHD You too can experience positive changes in focus, emotional reaction/stability, self-assessment, scholastic, and overall life performance.

Anxiety

What if anxiety was no longer part of your life ?

Neurofeedback is very effective for those who suffer with anxiety. Clients training on multiple issues, often notice the most rapid improvement in their anxiety. Generalized anxiety disorder (or GAD) is characterized by excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. People with symptoms of GAD tend to worrying excessively about health, money, family, work, or school. Often, the worry is unrealistic or out of proportion for the situation. Those who suffer from GAD are constantly worried, fearful, or dread situations on a daily basis. Eventually, the anxiety so dominates the person's thinking that it interferes with daily functioning, including work, school, social activities, and relationships.What Are the Symptoms of GAD?GAD affects the way a person thinks, but the anxiety can lead to physical symptoms, as well. Such as tension, restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, difficulty concentration, nausea, fatigue, sleep pattern difficulty, or a constant feeling of being on edge.People with GAD often have other anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias).

Sleep Issues

Is it difficult for you to get to sleep? Do you feel tired when you wake up.

If you lay there in bed finding it difficult to fall asleep, or wake frequently during the night, or don't feel rested in the morning, or too tired to tackle your every day routine, or feel you need to take sleep medication to get a decent night's rest, you may find Neurofeedback your answer.Sleep disorders and other sleep problems cause more than just sleepiness. A lack of quality sleep has a negative impact on your energy, emotional balance, productivity, and health. Even minimal sleep loss can effect our mood, energy, efficiency, and ability to handle stress. Ignoring sleep problems and disorders can lead to poor health, accidents, impaired job performance, and relationship stress. If you want to feel your best, stay healthy, and perform up to your potential, sleep is a necessity, not a luxury. The good news? You dont have to live with sleeping problems. Research has shown Neurofeedback may have a dramatic affect for you.

PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

It's normal to feel frightened, sad, anxious, and disconnected after a traumatic experience. As time passes, the experience fades for most people and they start to feel like themselves again. However, for some, the trauma is so overwhelming they feel they can not move on. They feel stuck with memory and pain caused by the experience, and may even feel constantly in danger.If you went through a traumatic experience and are having trouble getting back to your regular life, reconnecting to others, and feeling safe again, you may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When you have PTSD, it can seem like you'll never get over what happened or feel normal again.Most people associate PTSD with soldiers and combat, but, any overwhelming life experience can trigger PTSD, especially if the event feels unpredictable and uncontrollable.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect those who personally experience the trauma, those who witness it, or those who are first responders to an emergency. It can even occur in the friends or family members of those who went through the actual trauma.Fortunately, there is help, and neurofeedback is shown to be a very viable treatment option.
