With over 30 years of experience in psychiatry, authors Richard L. Brown and
Patricia L. Gerbarg wrote Non-Drug
Treatments for ADHD to provide an alternative to stimulant medications for
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Their integrative approach combines
the best of Western medicine with herbs, cognitive enhancers, and brain
stimulation, among other methods. After
a thorough introduction to the latest research on ADHD, the authors present
their main ideas in Chapter 3, “From Mother Nature: Herbs, Melatonin, and
Nootropics (Brain Boosters);” Chapter 4, “Food, Glorious Food: Diet, Vitamins,
and Nutrients;” Chapter 5, “When the Body Talks, the Brain Listens: Mind-Body
Practices for ADHD;” and Chapter 6, “Neurofeedback Therapy and Brain
Stimulation.”
An excerpt from Non-Drug Treatments for

Herbs, Melatonin, and Nootropics (Brain Boosters).” The book can be purchased
