Diagnosis and medication have for long been an area of concern for patients suffering from ADHD. The risks and side-effects of medication continue to be researched and debated as the affected people continue to explore alternative treatment options for their condition.
Hypnotherapy has been known to have healing powers for a range of conditions like depression, anxiety, smoking and even ADHD. It particularly helps regain control in stressful environments, improves focus and strengthens the concentration span.
Even if complete recovery can’t be guarantee, ADHD hypnotherapy surely offers more than hope for ADHD patients. Experts from the ADHD Foundation further supported this claim by stating that medical prescriptions must only supplement the treatment while behavioral therapy remains at the core.
Here are all possible arguments that help you decide in favor of ADHD hypnotherapy.
Hypnosis Is not a myth; It’s Possible
Contrary to myths surrounding this issue, hypnosis has emerged as a viable solution for ADHD. The brain activity found in people with ADHD is generally slower. This can be likened to brain activity recorded during hypnotherapy, which makes ADHD adults and children more hypnotizable. Even though on the surface it seems like concentrating on hypnotic suggestions may be more difficult for ADHD individuals. ADHD makes people more receptive of the trance-prone behavior required during hypnotherapy.
Works Well With or Without Medication
There’s no requirement for ADHD patients to be prescribed medication for hypnotherapy to work. Hypnotherapy can bring positive results with or without being supplemented with drugs. Those who are concerned with being hypnotizable enough for the treatment to work, medication has proven to increase the chances of success. However, if you choose not to depend on medication for fear of drug addiction or dependence, hypnotherapy may also help cut down your regular doses or eliminate the need for it altogether. A professional health assistant must be consulted for alteration in the medication.
It’s Safe and Without Side-Effects
Parents hesitate from medicating their children at a tender age if they have ADHD. The side-effects make medicines unpopular among young patients. This is why hypnotherapy is a more acclaimed treatment option because it’s side-effect free. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a better and safer path to recover for people who like to avoid medicines entirely.
Better For The 20%
There’s a considerable percentage of people who experience severe side-effects or feel no difference after taking medicines. This segment amounts to 20% of all ADHD individuals. Even though the remaining 80% can benefit from medication, something needs to be done about the 20% who are at a loss of solutions. Neurofeedback and/or CBT can coach people on the spectrum to become better. Since hypnotherapy is entirely cognitive, there’s also no risk of side-effects, resistance or addiction.
