Orange County Neurofeedback Solutions for ADHD

The Drug Solution

Previously the only effective way to treat this disorder has been through the use of drug treatments. Unfortunately, the effects of these drugs are only temporary. Once the drugs leave the bloodstream, so do all of the beneficial effects. Therefore, to control this disorder one usually needs to be dependent on medication for life. In addition to this dependency, serious side effects are often found with the use of these drugs.

Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) include Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and Asperger’s Syndrome. These disorders are usually diagnosed in childhood and greatly affect the life conditions of the individual and their family. The symptoms of these disorders vary somewhat with the condition, however, in general they include: inattention, hypersensitivity, repetitive rituals, verbal and non-verbal communication and concomitant social problems, self-stimulation, impulsivity, and obsessivity, among others.

At this time, there is no cure for Autism. In the past, treatments could not directly change misaligned brain wave patterns. In recent years, neurofeedback has emerged as an exciting and innovative treatment approach in adjunct to existing therapeutic modalities, yielding remarkable improvements. In most cases of mild to moderate Autism Spectrum Disorders, patients undergoing neurofeedback treatment are experiencing significant improvement of symptoms.
