Treating ADHD in Adults with Micronutrients

SEE VIDEO AT http://bestselfusa.com/nutritional-guidance

Effect of a Nutritional Supplement on Attention and Mood in Adults with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Brief Information about the study

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) occurs in approximately 4-5 percent of the adults Almeida Montez, Hernandez Garca, & Ricardo-Garcell, 2007; Kessler et al. 2006) and a large proportion of these adults do not respond to treatment with medications (Biederman et al., 2006: Spencer et al., 2005; Torgersen et al., 2008).

In a recent open-label trial of a broad band nutritional supplement in the treatment of adults with ADHD and mood instability, participants showed improvements in hyperactivity, impulsivity and mood (Rucklidge et al., in press).

The purpose of the current study is to conduct a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to examine the helpfulness of this nutritional supplement in the treatment of adults with ADHD. Participants with ADHD take part in a 16-week trial. For the first eight weeks of the study, participants are randomly (i.e., like the toss of a coin) assigned to either the micronutrient pill group or the placebo pill group. For the following eight weeks, participants take part in an open-label (i.e., participants know what they are taking) trial. Blood and urine tests are taken at three times during the study to monitor participants’ safety. Measures of ADHD symptoms, mood, and pill compliance are taken throughout the study. Participants also take part in some activities to measure brain functioning and processing pre-randomisation and following the RCT phase of the study in order for researchers to examine the impact of the micronutrients on brain processing.

Found prominently in people around the world, ADHD can be easily cured. The first step towards the cure of ADHD is the acceptance of the disease and taking a step towards understanding it in a better way than before. Though the disease comes with many challenges, it is very simple to manage it and lead productive and normal life despite of that.

Apart from seeking medical help, here are a few measures that you can take in order to ensure that you are able to take control of your life once again.

1. Healthy eating and exercising: Exercising and eating in a healthy way is the key towards controlling your ADHD. Both of these are going to generate excessive energy in your body and therefore, are going to soothe your nervous system. Not only that, eating healthy food is going to prove as a great boost to your metabolism and therefore, will streamline the inner working of your body.

2. Preventing Sleep deficiency: Sleep has to be complete and undisturbed for people suffering from ADHD. It is mandatory to gain 7-8 hours of sleep every day. Following this measure, you will be able to keep a tab over your mental activities and therefore avoid excess of mental stress.

3. Better time management: Since ADHD attacks the judgement and impairs it with anxiety attacks, it is recommended to set deadlines for everything. Timers and alarm clocks come in handy in such cases and make sure that deadlines are set for the tasks that are considered prior on your list. Also, taking a note of all the important things makes sure that you do not miss out on any direction.

4. Working on the interpersonal relationships: Keep in touch with your friends and try to spend more time with your family. ADHD attacks interpersonal relationships by diverging the attention of the victim. Try to be conversant in groups and cultivate healthy conversations in order to create a lasting relationship. Try not cutting in between when someone is speaking and make sure that you pay complete attention to others as well.

5. Helping you at work: People suffering from ADHD need to be extra cautious at work. Make sure that you always make lists based on the priority of things and use reminders and sticky notes in order to be vigilant. Try motivating yourself by doing what you like the most. Choose work as per your own interests and team up with people who are both creative and more organized.

The true battle with ADHD can only be fought when the sufferers decide that they need to win. By following the above mentioned methods, you will be able to gain considerable control over your life and the disease.
