Research now shows that mindfulness is effective in calming your mind and improving your focus. It can be used as:
· a strategy to compliment the use of medication or other techniques.
· a stand-alone technique for those who do not use medication.
· for those waiting for, or contemplating going for, a diagnosis.
Mindfulness and meditation are thought to help with ADHD because it thickens your prefrontal cortex, a part of your brain that's involved in focus, planning, and impulse control. Research has also detected raised levels of dopamine in the brain after mindfulness practice, which can help cognitive function in those with ADHD.
