Natural Treatments for ADHD?

LD and ADD/ADHD Expert Advice from Eileen S. Marzola, Ed.D.

Question: What natural treatments could help just as well or work the same as a drug for ADHD?

Answer: I think we would all like to believe that natural treatments for ADHD would work as well as Ritalin or other common medications prescribed for this problem. Unfortunately, however, there has been no objective research reporting that this is true. That doesn't, of course, mean that in the future someone won't release results of a study using natural treatments that are promising.
