    This is not true, i have ADHD, and yeah i can be weird but i dont sit and twitch. ANDDDD
    Most people are on medication which makes them do that, i am not on medicen and i still dont twitch!

    i have found flight simulators and war simulators actually increase my situational awareness. WHy do some people deny that this works and thing they are just toys. THey don’t realize these devices actually are a form of mind control

  3. My son went to the …
    My son went to the Nadeau Educational Center in Cerritos and had bio-feedback like this. It does work. He is now reading way above his grade level, when at one time he was reading at pre-school level in second grade. He is going into 5th grade now. He is not on medication. His math has improved. He still is having problems with multiple tasks in math….but as his mom I was never good at math and don’t have ADHD. I would highly recommend this to anyone….it is expensive though.

    well this explains alot! my freind has adhd. he almost always got in trouble with teachers, but ever since he started playing videogames, such as “skate” on the xbox360, and actually skateboarding, hes been a whole lot calmer, but he still takes medication. sometimes he makes loud outbirsts, which is a little weird, but alteast he can control himself most of the time.

    i knew a girl with adhd once she was a in weirdo. people with adhd are almost exactly like meth smokers. they just sit there and twitch.

  8. damn… I have ADhD …
    … I have ADhD and i went to this doctor that taught me how to control my thoughts and how to focus on one thing this guy worked miracles on my brain.. my mind is alot slower now its awesome and i no longer need my adderal

    You haven’t met my 11 year old!!
    Kicked out of pre-school. Daily trips to the principal’s office. Our home a frenzy of uncontrollable tantrums.
    When the diagnosis was complete (this was a VERY intensive testing routine), the description fit her COMPLETLY!
    With this diagnosis, I was able to get her legal protection from the CONSTANT punitive measures at her school. We were able to form appropriate support in areas she needed.
    Drum lessons. Dance. Swimning. Consistent routines. And TONS of love.

    one man’s gift is another man’s curse.. you shouldn’t be subjected to your genes, some of these people are struggling with their ‘ADHD’ they are not sent to neurofeedback training against their will.. learn to control your mind , don’t let it control you. this isn’t any different than meditation

  11. never seen a girl …
    never seen a girl with ADHD :S

  12. ADHD is simply a …
    ADHD is simply a minimal amount of cell receptors in the front of your brain that processes Dopamine and other chemicals produced by the brain. The result is other overly active regions of the brain, such as creativity. The ADHD gene sequence “The Edison Gene” can be found in DDR2 genome and is closely linked to Autism.
    ADHD is a real, and it’s also a wonderful gift.
    Maybe you shouldn’t ume things that you don’t understand.
    PS – This video is bullshit. BioFeedback sucks.

  13. a doctor? if only I …
    a doctor? if only I could finally buy a house. I’ve just done some research on it. I’ve seen people with ADHD and they seem to not be able to concentrating no matter what they do. This kid I know I was talking to him. as I was talking he out of the blue ran outside picked up a stick with his teeth. Mid conversation.
    Honest answer is I don’t really know All I know is what i see and read that all. Theses day we are expected to multitask beyond that of out ancestors.

    Well I guess we should trust you because you’re a doctor right?

  16. sorry had to …
    sorry had to comment again. I see people saying that ADD or ADHD doesn’t exist. I agree in part with thetumblingweed55. Most kids that have add/adhd are miss diagnoses cause most children act like they are hyper active and cant pay attention anyways cause thats the way kids act anyways. but there are some out there who really do have ADD/ADHD. But it takes weeks of testing to really find out. No one visit to a doctor can tell you and parents should be able to tell.

  17. I’ve seen real adhd …
    I’ve seen real adhd. Nearly uncontrollable even in a stimulated environment. This kid would do lots of random stuff.
    any creative criticisms welcome.

  18. sad thing is a lot …
    sad thing is a lot of parents and doctors are ignorant when it comes to kids. yes i know that sounds harsh… well listen… For instance. say Billy who is eight years old can’t concentrate in class and is very hyper. Most doctors would say he had add or adhd. But the real fact is that Billy is just eight and acts according to his age also School is boring for a lot of kids which is the reason for the hyper activity and lack of concentration.

  19. lol at 5.12 he was …
    lol at 5.12 he was playing the game without looking

  20. I totally agree w/u …
    I totally agree w/u!I am a cp suff & have been hit up for my meds 5x this week alone. They know we have to get meds from 1 doc, they hit us up anyway. The old “my tooth/back hurts bs” Hope they start watching their backs. I; as well as many others I know are becoming tired of getting hit up for pills; & these people lurking around our houses steal them. We’ve all decided that if they continue this; they’ll be in for a nice surprise when a DEA agent shows up at their house asking them 4 pills!

  21. Sh*t I dgaf im not …
    Sh*t I dgaf im not tha only abusen his meds he abuses em him self we juss get TWEEKED for hours apon hours BRO!

  22. Being a controlled …
    Being a controlled substance, most grown adults who’ve had their lives materially impacted by ADHD would never waste their pills on getting a friend high. A true friend wouldn’t ask for them, either.

    I take Concerta daily and would sooner ditch any “friend” asking for my pills than give them out.

    That’s like asking for a chronic pain sufferer’s percoset or oxycontin; but let me guess you’ve got no problem with that either?

  23. F*ck that man if …
    F*ck that man if this happen where ADHD kids went to video games, then we wouldnt get tha k*ck pills they tha pharmacy gives out, like adderall xr/ir, concerta, rittlin them anmpetamines and what not. I take my friends adderall all tha time. SO LETS HAVE THA DANGEROUS DRUGS AS YOU CALL THEM, AND THA GAMES, this combo is tha sh*t.

  24. wow thanx for the …
    wow thanx for the information i’ve had ADHD ever since i was in first grade and i’m now in 10th and its nice to know that somebody actually cares about people like me *Tear* :)

  25. Im almost crying.
