ADHD Therapy
Are You Looking For An Effective Way To Address ADHD?
Have you or your child been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and are looking for effective therapy options? Are you burnt out and frustrated by how these symptoms impact daily life? Would you benefit from a holistic treatment for adults and children that is proven effective in addressing ADHD symptoms without taking medication?
Living with ADHD can be exhausting. Despite your achievements and success, brain fog and memory lapses probably make it difficult to complete basic tasks like remembering to pay bills or keeping up with chores and errands. If you are prone to procrastination, you may struggle with time management, follow-through, and impulsivity. Often, you can become hyper-focused on whatever interests you at the exclusion of other more pressing tasks, derailing you from completing important work assignments or fulfilling personal commitments.
You Might Suffer From Imposter Syndrome
If you constantly scramble to meet deadlines or juggle multiple tasks at once, you may worry about falling behind at work or being perceived as flaky or unreliable with loved ones. The anxiety you experience trying to conceal from others how often ADHD interferes with your productivity could result in headaches, a churning stomach, and other physical symptoms related to stress.
Maybe you have gone to ADHD therapy in the past or taken medication without getting the results you were hoping for. But now, there is a treatment alternative to traditional talk therapy or taking medication for ADHD. Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy can help improve brain performance and reduce the symptoms of ADHD.
Being Neurodivergent Means Being Constantly Reminded That You Live In A Neurotypical World
Living with ADHD can be a double-edged sword. As neurodivergent people, we experience the world with an intensity and vividness that offers gifts such as creativity, imagination, and a depth of feeling that makes life interesting. Unfortunately, the downside of being neurospicy is that day-to-day task management often eludes us. Because our goal-oriented society tends to place more value on following a predictable routine, meeting deadlines, and multi-tasking over outside-of-the-box thinking, neurodivergent people often feel undervalued and unappreciated for their talents.
The neurotypical brain is often held up as the ideal. As such, society recognizes qualities like organization, rule-following, and task completion as the hallmarks of achievement. Those with neurodivergent brains often feel like they aren't good enough simply because they don’t excel in these areas.
Our Understanding Of ADHD Has Gotten Better
Thankfully, understanding the richness and complexity of neurodivergence has been gradually improving. Social media platforms such as TikTok have created a forum for those with ADHD to find acceptance within the neurodivergent community, helping to normalize their experience. However, outside of these spaces, misconceptions persist. When we miss a deadline at work or forget a loved one’s birthday, we often get mislabeled as disorganized, lazy, or uncaring.
What can make overcoming ADHD so challenging is that seeking help requires levels of organization, planning, and initiative that don’t come as easily to neurodivergent folx. For those who have tried traditional talk therapy to address ADHD to no avail, they may think the only other treatment option available is medication. But with its potential for side effects, medications aren’t always everyone’s first choice.
IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback offers a safe and effective method to address the symptoms of ADHD. By utilizing a gentle, non-invasive neurotherapy treatment, ADHD can be better managed, leading to significant improvements in mood, focus, decision-making, and mental acuity.
Receiving ADHD Therapy That Incorporates Microcurrent Neurofeedback Can Be A Game-Changer
If you have tried traditional talk therapy to address ADHD and have been disappointed by the results, we understand how frustrated you may be. Although you or your child might have experienced minor improvements in organization, focus, and follow-through following therapy, perhaps, after a while, ADHD symptoms returned. If you want to avoid medication—or have had a negative experience while taking it—you might worry that no other options are available that can help you.
The good news is that Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN) offers a safe and effective way to transform how the brain operates—the core issue underlying ADHD—without the use of medication. By augmenting and supporting the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, MCN helps create new neural pathways to increase its efficiency and function. With Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy for ADHD, the brain is gently yet effectively encouraged to do what it is designed to do naturally: heal itself.
What To Expect In Sessions
After your clinician briefly checks in to see how you or your child has been feeling, they will attach small lead wires around areas of your scalp. These wires are then connected to the IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback system that will read your brain waves in real-time. As you sit quietly with lights dimmed and soft music playing, MCN utilizes different protocols to stimulate healthy brain wave patterns.
Each treatment session lasts 25-30 minutes and the results will be cumulative. In general, you can expect to experience better sleep and increased regulation within the first three sessions and lasting results within an average of 12-25 sessions. Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy for ADHD is equally effective on children as adults. The only age prerequisite is that children must be old enough to sit relatively still while receiving treatment. However, during treatment, they are free to engage in quiet activities, like coloring, reading, or watching a screen.
The Benefits of IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback Treatment For ADHD
Because IASIS MCN is a treatment, not a modality, it goes beyond ADHD symptom management to the core of the issue: the brain itself. With IASIS MCN, 80 percent of clients can expect to start feeling better within the first three sessions. [1] [2] After completing Microcurrent Neurofeedback treatment for ADHD, clients report increased focus, better decision-making skills, and clearer thinking. Parents report their children’s emotional regulation improves as hyperactivity wanes, leading to better school performance and fewer behavioral issues.
Unlike traditional ADHD therapy, IASIS MCN is Neurotherapy for your brain. However, some clients find the combination of Microcurrent Neurofeedback treatment while seeing an ADHD therapist provides them with the most beneficial results. Because IASIS MCN activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the calming part of the nervous system—you will leave each session feeling more relaxed, with fewer racing thoughts. This groundbreaking neurofeedback therapy can take away the more challenging aspects of ADHD without diminishing the unique essence of who you are.
But Maybe You’re Not Sure If ADHD Therapy Is Right For You…
Is utilizing Microcurrent Neurofeedback treatment for ADHD safe and effective?
The IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback Device has been FDA-approved for 12 years, meaning it has met rigorous safety and efficacy standards. Published research supports its efficacy and no complaints about negative side effects or unwanted long-term effects have been reported to the FDA. [1] [2]. For these reasons, IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback is used by providers throughout the United States as well as multiple countries around the world.
Although I think I would benefit from ADHD treatment that incorporates Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy, I worry about the cost.
IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback is a relatively small investment for the long-lasting results it provides. After completing 12-25 initial sessions, most clients move to maintenance ADHD therapy which can be scheduled monthly or as needed. However, some adults do not require additional ADHD treatment after their initial Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy. Compared to traditional neurofeedback—which requires 60-100 sessions to see long-lasting results—MCN is significantly less costly.
