Neurofeedback/Biofeedback   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1530 of 1580 |
Hi:

I am wondering if anyone has tried Neurofeedback/biofeedback as a
management tool for ADD/ADHD? If so, how effective was it? Were you
able to stop medication?

I am considering trying it but would appreciate any feedback on it
effectiveness. I have found medication does not work for me and would
like to see if biofeedback may be a good management tool.

Also, if you have any biofeedback provider recommendations in the
northern suburbs of Chicago, I would greatly appreciate that as well!
Thank you!

Max
