Drug alternatives: Oregon health and science university reviewed over 6, 000 adhd studies and stated that there was no evidence that drugs helped with the symptoms of adhd. The american academy of pediatrics states that biofeedback is as good as drugs and behavioral therapy. Playattention.Com is a good non-drug solution.
