ADHD/ADD treatment options?

What kinds of ADHD/ADD treatment options are there besides medication?

Answer:
You could try homeopathic treatments. Go to a larger Health food/drug store. Not GNC...
counseling
i am on a medication it isnt as bad as you think i am on a low dose but it goes llong way
yeah, counseling can help. also just try cutting out excess caffeine, get plenty of sleep, and get organized. im somewhat ADHD and if im really unorganized my mind and me will just jump all over the place trying to get my **** together, and it never works
For the health of the child, I would give the meds a chance. This can change a person's life for the better, and give them a chance to be social and learn. I know adults who have cried they were so happy it worked and they wished they received treatment years ago. All of the meds have websites with in depth info about side effects and monitoring. We don't look for options when the kid needs chemo or insulin and this will definitely affect their future if it is not treated. Best of luck to you and yours!
there are forums on the Internet that are used as a great support network. Also joining a support group in your local town is a help too.

Organisational skills are important to learn also.

Try to learn as much as possible about the condition as a lot of doctors aren't up-to-date in their thinking and diagnosing.
