Depending on where you live there may be free clinics that can help you. There are things you can try yourself.

You need to be proactive and take initiative to find the best possible treatment plan. Be positive. Here are a few tips.

Tips for you as an ADHD Adult:

Set aside a few minutes each night to schedule the following day’s events
Organize needed everyday items so you know where things are
Use diaries and notebook organizers
Don’t be too hard on yourself or set unrealistic goals

Activities to Pursue:

While there is no single activity that guaranteesadults or teens with ADD/ADHD instant success, certain types of activities tend to reap more positive results.

Look for activities with a singular focus, such as sports that center attention
Consider activities that involve movement, providing an appropriate and controlled physical outlet
Learn to play a musical instrument
Seek activities that offer individualized instruction
Explore activities that result in tangible rewards

Avoid activities that:

Involve a lot of down time
Require too much divided attention
Require fine motor skills

For people with ADHD, no single treatment is the answer for everyone. A person may have undesirable side effects to a medication, making a particular treatment unacceptable. Each person’s needs and personal history must be carefully considered. It is important to work with a health care professional/psychologist to determine the safest treatment.

If all other options and avenues have been investigated and prescription drugs are chosen for treatment, frequent follow-up visits should be scheduled to assess the response and to detect possible side effects. Teens on medications should have regular checkups.

Stimulants are not a cure-all, and adults should be informed of healthy choices with regards to food, exercise, and healthy hobbies. The best chance of minimizing side effects is to use a remedy that is free of adverse or unwanted secondary effects completely.

Alternative Treatments

Herbal and Homeopathic Remedies – A number of adults have tried natural remedies as an alternative to psycho-stimulants and other drugs. Small trials have found some agents, such as oral flower essence, Ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng, and melatonin may possibly have benefits for ADHD. There are homeopathic remedies which effectively target some of the disruptive symptoms of ADHD and allow the child to concentrate more easily.

Natural remedies should be considered as a first step ahead of prescription psychiatric drugs. When combined with strong dietary control, counseling (as necessary), and a healthy lifestyle, natural remedies have been show to be effective in helping to alleviate the symptoms of ADHD.

Dietary Approaches. A number of diets have been suggested for people with ADHD. Various studies have reported behavioral improvement with diets that restrict possible allergens in the diet. Parents may want to discuss with their health care professional, homeopath, or naturopath concerning implementing an elimination diet of certain foods or adding supplements that would not be harmful and that might help. This is a very individualized approach and would differ from child to child. Always consult a nutritional expert before restricting your diet.

Feedback Approaches. A technique that uses auditory (sound) feedback may prove to be an effective tool for increasing attention.

Neurofeedback. This technique uses electronic devices to help control brain wave activity.

Interactive Metronome and Musical Therapy. Feedback from sound is used to improve attention, motor control, and certain academic skills.

Massage and Relaxation Techniques. Massage therapy can help ADHD adults feel more relaxed, fidget less, be less hyperactive, and focus on tasks. Other methods include reflexology, relaxation training, meditation, and music therapy.
