What do these four things all have in common?
They are all good for ADD and ADHD, and–
they reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and have antidepressant effects.
there is variable amounts of scientific evidence supporting each of these, most for prayer and meditation. The prayer has other effects as well, and not only spiritual. Heart patients who were prayed for tended to do better. I find meditation very difficult ( I have ADD, you see) but helpful, and suggest the simplest kind, nothing fancy. On a good day, I can meditate for almost 15 minutes – on a very good day.
Lowering stress improves ADD and ADHD symptoms and makes life more pleasant too.

i look forward to reading, really listening to these blog posts……i’ve come to realize that i’ve never had such opportunites –such as those provided here, to listen to, explore and express this particular aspect of my neurobiology. it’s giving me ‘permission’ to explore parts of myself and my personal history further, more deeply, and begin to see the interrelationships between this ‘diagnosis’ and recurring feelings such as anxiety, hypervigilence, depression, and also patterns of behaviors, like of aversion to certain situations, and how a d d alone, is a significant contributor to stress. i appreciate people’s stories and learning some new tools to practice. i now see how a d d has impacted my life for many years –since childhood, as an underlying, ever-prevalent, ‘challenge.’
