Non-Drug Treatments for ADHD
New Options for Kids, Adults, and Clinicians

Safe and effective complementary treatments for helping kids manage ADD. The prolific use of stimulants to treat ADD/ADHD is a controversial topic in therapy. This handbook-for practitioners and parents alike-guides readers through an array of alternatives: herbs, vitamins, nutrients, neurotherapy, meditation, and more. Treating the condition in combination with other diagnoses, like learning and mood disorders, is also addressed. Richard P. Brown, MD, is associate clinical professor of psychiatry, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He lives in Kingston, New York. Patricia L. Gerbarg, MD, is assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at New York Medical College. She lives in Kingston, New York.
