All too often we subject ourselves and our loved ones that we watch over to chemicals in the form of medicines, when no medicine is needed.  Parents are quick to accept the diagnosis that kids are have this disorder, however, most often, the cases are just an under-challenged and cluttered minds.  One of the most fiercely fought areas for people is Attention Deficit Disorder, better known as ADD, and its other connotation, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD.  Instead of drugging our kids (and adults) with these foreign chemicals, the use of Hypnosis has been shown to make lasting drastic changes on people.

“Hypnosis can give a person with ADD/ADHD the feeling of being in charge of his behavior,” says Anna Baumgaertel, M.D., a developmental-behavioral pediatrician in Philadelphia.

Under Hypnosis, we can expand the neural pathways that ADD blocks and reprogram learned behaviors that have been in place enhancing the ADD.  Studies by Dr. A Barabasz found diagnosis is so rampant due to the symptoms overlapping with other common disorders.  According to Dr. A Barabasz, major research and study is needed to effectively diagnose and treat ADHD.  He also found that hypnosis is a promising treatment for ADHD.
