ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) affects millions of children and can continue into adulthood. It often involves difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. These behaviors are frequently rooted in underlying auditory and visual processing problems, which interfere with the brain’s ability to accurately interpret sensory information. Children with ADHD may also face challenges like low self-esteem, strained relationships, and poor school performance.

 

Recent statistics highlight a growing concern:

• Approximately 1 in 9 U.S. children (about 11%) between ages 3 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.

• ADHD diagnoses among girls aged 10 to 19 have seen significant increases, with a 2.6-fold rise in diagnoses in females aged 13 to 20 years.

• In some countries, new ADHD diagnoses have doubled in recent years.

• Among adults, a significant number report receiving a formal ADHD diagnosis within the last year.

• Pandemic-related stressors, changes in work/school environments, and increased screen time have contributed to an increase in symptoms, unmasking previously undiagnosed cases.

 

Neurofeedback helps improve the brain’s ability to self-regulate, reducing ADHD symptoms. In some cases, neurofeedback may also reduce the need for medication. Both children and adults benefit from neurofeedback, becoming calmer, more focused, and less impulsive. Over 85% of individuals report improvements in focus, impulsiveness, and behavior management. Unlike medication, neurofeedback carries few side effects, with the most common being a temporary feeling of tiredness after a session.
