I have to throw my 2 cents in here. Anything that helps calm you and your mind is great.
I read somewhere that ADDers should meditate while they walk. Some people can increase their mental anguish by trying to sit still and meditate.
I have done martial arts, Tai Chi, Mantack Chia, Breathing (This one is a hoot and it really unplugs you)

And no, I get no comission for referrals. Try to wait till Deepika Desai teaches it.
My mind is usually more quiet after I have had to focus on breathing and exercise. After I get on that routine for a couple of weeks, exercise and breathing and taking better care of my physical self, I find that I can call up and invoke inner peace and calm much easier. And all of the disciplines I mentioned have that power. But, life creeps in and does not always allow us that luxury.
Also, it depends if you are on meds or not. Meds will give you a calmer mind. And it will be robust and it will be immediate. Either way Neurofeedback and Biofeedback training can only help you. I mean really. One more useful and positive tool in your set of life's tool kit, what would be wrong with that?
