ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but Doreen Virtues believes that it stands for "attention dialed into a higher dimension." In my observation I've seen that ADHD is learned ineffective behaviors in adaptation to stress which only creates more stress and therefore leads to neurophysiological imbalance. Teaching children how to manage stress at an early age by drinking plenty of water, keeping blood sugar levels stable, getting both plenty of exercise as well as rest, and knowing how not to over stimulate oneself is a better alternative to managing this condition. The BrainGym book for children outlines all of this and is just as effective for adults. For more information on BrainGym visit this site: http://www.braingym.org/
