ADHD and Neurofeedback

[@Card101]

I cried when I watched this as my 15 year old has just started neurofeedback for ADHD. He came to us several weeks ago asking to get re-assessed for ADHD again as we had several years ago by our GP. She took one look at him and said "look how calm he is...he doesn't have ADHD". So off we went and got an IEP for a learning disability. He has had 10 sessions and I already see a remarkable change. I was so drawn to listen to Robert. My son hasn't been able to articulate what Robert has so I truly appreciate being able to hear is words and better understand him. Thank you for sharing this. ♥

[@theesunnlightt2268]

I cried, too.

[@Mikes-Mysteries]

I am diagnosed with ADD and also looking into neurofeedback.This video amazed me. Why? Cause this guy is so amazingly honest and clear about what he experienced. Its so well told. I feel very much related. I wish him the best.

[@lorriefisher1121]

+Michael B (TheMajestic) Thank you, Michael. Robert also put a survey on my website. He said that people with ADD can't answer the questions on typical ADD surveys written by people with non-ADD brains. That made sense. A few people who have taken the survey told me they cried (literally) with relief to see that someone gets it. I'm honored to have a son who wants to give back. Here is is: www.fisherbehavior.com/a-new-adhd-survey.html.

[@Miguel-st9bd]

Michael B how did it go?

[@theesunnlightt2268]

Michael, tell us about your experience with nbeurofeedback please

[@Mikes-Mysteries]

Sorry for the late response, didnt realize there we're comments. I looked into neurofeedback got in touch with a party that does this but unfortunatly its not covered by insurance and it was to much for me to pay it otherwise. So I cant give anyone an answer on how it went. And yes this made me very sad and angry.

[@theesunnlightt2268]

@@Mikes-Mysteries thank you for your response. I am sorry that you couldnt afford it. Wish you all the BEST!

[@lorriefisher1121]

Update: Robert is double majoring in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Maybe that's evidence of the profound effect that neurofeedback had on his life and experience?

[@Angeliqueceramique]

Jieim Yupaki Eidemo Eisprerel I don't believe it is something you can cure either,he found a way to live with it. I have ADD and turning 32..it gets better getting older,finding ways to live with it,bid it is a struggle

[@lorriefisher1833]

Hi Angelique. If you don't "believe" in neurofeedback, you're not alone. If you'd like to start slowly with something that you can do to help your nervous system, then perhaps try something called heart rate variability training. It may help you in the same ways that meditation can, but without the need to focus like meditation. Maybe take a look at FisherBehavior.com and call me? Lorrie

[@bornbranded29]

Lorrie Fisher I think he means that this kid is not qualified to make diagnoses of psychopathologies. You can tell he still has ADHD, from his delayed speech alone. Neurofeedback might have helped him, along with other treatments. I'd love to see if he is caffeine dependent it craves any other stimulants.

[@lorriefisher1833]

Hi. I didn't see your comment. Interesting observation. Robert did this video as a 17 year old kid - without a script. He was thinking through this on the spot. Given that, I don't think 'speech delay' may be diagnostic of anything else (and it isn't a symptom of ADHD).. One of the reasons he didn't write a script is that he had a disorder called afantasia. You can look it up. Neurofeedback later took care of that. There really isn't a reliable and valid diagnostic tool for ADHD, however he did have a child psychologist make the diagnosis. She discussed it with me, not with him. It would be a good idea to do some research on this, if you're curious. There are studies. I hope you find your answers!

[@5210smile]

Lots of people with ADHD double major in various fields and do great - not saying it didn't help but it sure as hell isn't evidence.

[@victoriad4393]

I have been trying to get information about neurofeedback and found this video. Robert provided the best explanation about ADHD and neurofeedback. Thank you so much for posting this video!

[@donohoejeff]

I found this video while looking for anecdotals on EEG neurofeedback, and I gotta say Robert's description of ADHD is the best explanation I have ever heard. Thank you.

[@littledarkone1995]

I’m literally in shock of how similar this story is with me. I just got off 17 years of ADHD medication since I was 5 or 6 years old. After a certain point, I needed adderall to physically function so i didn’t sleep 17 hours out of the day and just remained pretty hollow. The part that resonates with me the most are the parts about procrastination, laziness, motivation, and even not hearing people. I’m looking to start neurofeedback asap. Thank you for posting this ❤️

[@bc82sop42]

Speaking about Neurofeedback therapy from experience, this therapy came to my attention in the late 90's and was the first time (in my life anyway) where visible proof of ADHD (or in my case a TBI due to a head injury) via degree and measurement of "low blood flow/decreased activity to the front of the brain" was available to me and my family. I was convinced when the practitioner put the electrodes on one of my relative's head and her blood flow without doing a thing was 100. Even after two years twice a week, I had increased mine from 45 to a consistent 60. That made a believer out of me. Although ADHD and TBI are two different conditions and may have different causes, often times (or particularly in my case) both have decreased/lower than normal activity (blood flow) to parts of the brain. I was finally able to see it visibly measured and realized it was not my imagination! Did it cure me? Unfortunately no as I had a head injury as an adult and therefore did not expect to be totally cured. I never got up to 100 (normal) but seeing my progress and learning the exact stimuli (music in my case... drum corps music since I was an active performer and then judge) that increased my focus and learning how it felt to Focus was what I received from this therapy. After three years, I got a job that required night working and then the practitioner retired. However for me it was beneficial. As a child or young adult, learning how it FEELS when you focus is very important. Eventually, I did not even have to have the music on since I learned and was trained on how it felt to focus... but that particular stimuli (whatever it is) is very important. I got to the point where I did not need to be hooked up to the device and see my brain waves spike or need the music in order to focus. Boy I need a refresher since I have not had it since 1998.

[@jhmmgf4236]

Research HEG neurofeedback man.With 1000-2000 dollars you can have your own system to train unlimited and learning how to use the amplifier is a joke(takes like 30 min-1hour)I have one myself and I use it regularly.The results are cumulative.At first you just get a bit tired etc ,but after a while it feels like being on stimulants..

[@jhmmgf4236]

The one I use is nIR headband from biocompresearch.It is just a headband that you put in your forehead and it has a laser thingy(it is just an oximeter..measures blood flow).The software rewards you every time blood flow is increased(it happens when you focus).It helps with focus and the results are amazing but you have to keep using it to reap the benefits or you go back to where you were.(although I did that in the past and I still feel that even with some weeks off I certainly didnt lose all the benefits,a small benefit seems to remain.

[@jhmmgf4236]

This is only for ADHD and focus though.For general mental health EEG neurofeedback is used however you need to know what to do in that case or you can screw yourself up

[@cyberpete76]

This weekend I was speaking with an old friend, who is doing Neurofeedback therapies for 15 years and when he heard about my son´s behavioral and learning problems and the fact that he was diagnosed with ADHD he said, this is the first choice treatment! And here we are now, touched by this video and searching for the right therapist in our hometown to get on it asap! Thank you so much for your video!

You're welcome. Spread the word!

[@wilandavr]

Have you used it and have you had positive feedback thus far?

[@lorriefisher1833]

Hi Peter. Please try to get a QEEG brain map and someone who knows how to treat from that. I originally started with symptom-based low frequency neurofeedback, but I think that practitioners are reporting that the results may not last. We are not thinking that ILF or low-frequency neurofeedback may work by affecting the astrocytes/glia that manage neurons, but that the neuronal hubs and networks need to be directly regulated by higher frequency neurofeedback for longer-lasting results. Also ask about slow cortical potential training for self-regulation. Call me if you have questions. You can look at BCIA and AAPB for practitioners in your area or I might be able to help you find someone. (See Fisher Behavior.com

[@YourCapyFrenBigly_3DPipes1999]

SO many of this young man's described symptoms are very very similar to what I went through in my younger years, and to a lesser but still present degree do today. I am now saving money so that I can undertake a full protocol of NFB at my earliest opportunity. I even hope, though I don't think it'll be necessary, to take a full second protocol if I can afford it. I do seem to have had a lot of obstacles in my life due to this suspected condition, and it sure would be wonderful to see how much easier life could be without this. I really do hope to see and experience a dramatic transformation and if I do I will most certainly pass on that testimonial both online and off to others so they can understand that NFB has the potential to make a major difference in their lives.

[@lorriefisher1121]

Hi Everyone, There are different forms of neurofeedback. The different forms have different levels of effectiveness and different purposes. If you need help finding a qualified practitioner, one option is to find someone who is credentialed in neurofeedback. They will have letters after their name related to that. (To get the best training, I'm in a doctoral program for it now.) Sometimes psychiatrists do neurofeedback, and their training is usually good. My clients have had less success with a program that is popular among therapists who don't take time for advanced training. I'm happy to have a conversation with anyone who reaches me through my website. Lorrie

[@benkugel9003]

Lorrie R. Fisher hi what do you think about the ulittmate program ?

[@genevievebendeck1301]

Lorrie, I would like to know more about the different types of neurofeedback. I know that there is a linear and a none linear. What do you think about their different results and effectiveness.

My 8 year old has ADHD he has his first appointment for neurofeedback this Monday!

[@whitepouch0904]

Could you post an update please?

[@YourCapyFrenBigly_3DPipes1999]

That is amazing. He must be doing so well now, as it's six years later. If I'd had this kind of access back in the late '90s when I graduated high school I think it could have made a big difference in the next 10 years of my life and made my college aspirations much easier to attain. I did have trouble staying the course and getting through a full semester and I ended up eventually dropping out and taking an alternative path. Now that I'm older I do hope to go back and finish before too long and I'm sure that would feel wonderful when I do. Yeah I definitely think that the evidence is very very supportive that add/adhd exists and just makes a lot of simple things harder that let's say an average person wouldn't have an issue with. It seems clear that he strongly benefited from his treatment protocols with NFB, and being able to smoothly navigate the University of California system is not something to be casually discounted. It seems as if prior to his treatment that would have been very difficult for him since he struggled to even pay attention to simple conversations and needed a lot of coping mechanisms just to get to the day. So I definitely salute him I applaud him and I think that this neurofeedback / neuro reinforcing training protocols have great potential, and I think anybody who's looking to better themself may want to consider them. I have nothing to gain by saying so, I don't work in an office where they're performed or anything, but after researching this method on and off for at least 15 years now, I'm convinced that the proof is in the results, and I'm a believer in the system.

[@basilb8178]

Hi Ana. Sorry for the delay. Please text or call me. 310.703.7449. No charge.

[@lorriefisher1833]

nIR HEG is good at stimulating circulation to the frontal lobes. It can help with self-regulation. But QEEG-based EEG addresses network problems that exist throughout the brain. Sometimes we even find that there are temporal lobe epileptiform disturbances that are hijacking people's attention. nIR HEG isn't going to get to many of the problems we identify as the contributing factors in an individual's symptoms.

Thank you very much for posting this vdo. My daughter is about to start the biofeedback therapies in a couple of weeks. Your vdo has given me hope that her adhd conditions can be cured. We don't want her to keep taking the medicines. They make her depressed and tired. Do you think it can help with ocd and hyperimpulsivity? Thanks

[@lorriefisher1121]

Tara Lim Hi Tara! MIT released a study showing that people with OCD have a lack of synchronous coordination between their medial prefrontal cortex and their lateral occipital lobes. What that means is that the front and the back of the brain aren't talking to each other correctly. Neurofeedback can teach the brain how to do that. I've had good success with several clients and am glad to talk with your neurofeedback practitioner if a consultation is of interest. ADHD people exhibit hyperimpulsivity not because of a personality deficit, but because their brains can't reference back to prior experience and apply it to see what the outcome might be. They are forced to live more in the moment. This gets people in trouble! Neurofeedback to the frontal lobes can help the brain gain this beneficial capacity so they can look before they leap. Literally. Feel free to contact me through Fisher Behavior if I haven't answered your questions. We're all in this together.

Hi Lorrie, can you share which type of Neurofeedback he participated in? We are starting now and so many offices use different methods or "brands" Clear Mind, NeuroOptimal...I've read that using the home systems at $40 per session are the exact same as in an office where treatments are $150 per visit. Is it better to do this in an office or is it safe to do this at home? We already had our brain map and ready to start treatments with nutrition package and bloodwork being quoted at $6000. Should we just tackle the nutrition piece on our own and do the sessions at home with NeuroOptimal? Would love any feedback anyone has had with various systems.

[@vishnu108hari]

I can really relate to this guy and every thing he says. unfortunatly insurance does not cover Neurofeedback ... it is very expensive... unfortunatly my parents did not invest in me.. there is hope for me in my life....

[@lorriefisher1833]

Some insurance companies are beginning to reimburse neurofeedback for ADHD. The more we have a chance to research the effectiveness of this modality, the more common that will become. As I study in my doctoral program, I learn how to make the process go faster with brain maps to target treatment. Nevertheless, it's good to learn that ADHD isn't a character flaw. Thanks for your enthusiasm!

[@vishnu108hari]

Lorrie Fisher how do you feel about TMS for ADHD

[@lorriefisher1833]

Do you mean rTMS or TDCS?

[@vishnu108hari]

rTMS but tdcs as well...

[@lorriefisher1833]

And for children or adults? The problem I have with DBS and rTMS is that (1) it's a sledgehammer, and (2) that it doesn't address the more extensive networks that participate in ADHD symptoms. In general, I believe that studies are looking at aiming the TMS at the ACC. However we know that the frontal lobes are not always the source, or the whole source, of the problem. You could look at research by Martin Arns for more info. BTW, we have accepted TMS for depression, thinking that it's left frontal, but we are now finding it's right frontal in women. The other problem with TDS is that practitioners use a formula to locate treatment that isn't adjusted for various head sizes. I just attended a seminar on this. The problem is that people don't all have the same head size, right? So the physician is often missing the mark! This may explain treatment failure statistics. Pretty awful, considering the cost both in dollars, in disappointment, and in loss of function if the wrong location is hit.

[@kosmotto]

8 years ago WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO EXIST

[@breakmanradio2530]

I guess this is a problem of the psychiatric diagnosis problem. You'll have 10 possible symptoms and you'll need 5 for a diagnosis. So I could have 5 of the symptoms, have ADHD, and someone else could have the other 5 symptoms, and also have ADHD. So we share none of the same symptoms and yet we both have ADHD. So the type of ADHD he's describing, is very much different than the type I have.

[@derangedolive]

Because ADHD is different for everyone. No one experiences it the same way hence why there are three different subtypes of ADHD - Inattentiveness, Hyperactivity, or Combined type. The same with Autism, no one experiences Autism the same way because it is a spectrum almost similarly to ADHD.

[@johnkwamya5899]

My son is having problems in school and we don't want him to end up on medication. Some of what Robert describes helps to understand behaviors that we see in my son - lying for example. We will look into the possibility of this working - it can't hurt anything.

although im only doing a phd in educational psychology with a specific focus on ADD, im completely shocked i honestly never knew that ADD could be cured with this or even at all. just to think the $ 600 dollar automatic bit of kit i have been working with for the last 3 years can actually cure ADD, and here is me thinking that its an effective treatment to alleviate symptoms but out right cure. well because i have been so stupid as to think that all this time im going to abandon my phd and just drive a bus.

[@lorriefisher1121]

richard chalmers Hi Richard. I'm not sure which $600 bit of equipment you have. Robert was cured with low-frequency, high-definition EEG neurofeedback. Most over-the-counter products can only do frontal and pre-frontal training (on the bare skin of the forehead). Robert's neurofeedback involved parietal, occipital, temporal, and prefrontal cortices. As he states, it required months of training. My training and equipment cost many thousands of dollars, and weeks of training. Certification requires a year of study and internship. I believe that this is the future of a holistic approach to treating many behavioral disorders. Currently my research shows an increasing body of peer-reviewed empirical studies supporting this treatment. Basically, it causes the brain, through operant conditioning, to improve its function. Given that we do nothing without regulation by brain, this makes more sense than trying to correct a neuro-developmental problem using pharmaceuticals. I'd suggest that you consider this as a way to be of service to your ADHD population (or hire a clinician within your practice). This should neither cause you to drive a bus or drive you nuts. Lorrie

Okay I'm sorry but if you are going to open the video with "I used to have ADHD and I don't anymore" I cannot take the rest of this video seriously. ADHD IS NOT A FLIPPING DISEASE. It's a neurological disorder that makes you think differently from neurotypical people. You do not "fix" or "get rid of" ADHD. You simply manage it. This is like saying "I used to be black but I am not anymore". Ugh the ignorance over ADHD is astounding!

[@seanthemoneymagnet2158]

Bruno Vic poor guy.

[@lorriefisher1833]

Hi Bruno. Actually ADHD is a label put on a set of ways that a brain has been functioning due to differences in development (usually involving the anterior cingulate) and chemistry (usually dopamine). We know that the brain continues to rewire throughout life. Neurofeedback is a way to let the brain practice new behavior and therefore rewire itself. We learn, as we produce brain maps of many people with ADHD, that there are multiple causes of what we label as one thing. Some people have subclinical seizure-like events, some have irregularities in thalamic regulation, some have deficits in frontal lobe development. The good news is that the brain can learn. Neurofeedback, in the hands of a competent practitioner, is a way to address these differences in the language of the brain (a metaphor, but the idea is that we are showing the brain the result of its behavior in a specific location with respect to a desired level of performance).

@@lorriefisher1833 you are distorting a development disorder with a developmental procesess. As someone with ADHD put it "I used to SUFFER with ADHD and now I just have ADHD". There is a HUGE difference between struggling with ADHD and simply dealing with it. But just because you've found strategies to deal with ADHD doesn't mean you no longer have ADHD. That like saying I used to be Autistic and now that I've improved I am no longer Autistic. I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. Both ADHD and Autism ARE NEUROLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS. Simply put you are born with it and you will die with it. The bigger question is how are you going to deal with it?

I don't understand the words you start saying that you don't have any more ADHD you lost me.

Okay, maybe it might help treat ADHD or make it better but in no way will this or anything cure ADHD. Don't want to be the Debby downer but also don't want people getting their hopes too high. In my opinion this kid has never had ADHD but is a actor paid to do this video. Although I will say this is interesting, just don't see how watching a movie or playing a game will cure add. Just my opinion cause I watch a ton of movies and have played tons of games 😂

Robert isn't an actor. In fact, he'd be terrible at it! He's studying neuroscience at a California university, looking at PhD programs (now 22 years old). I've had several other clients with adult ADHD (most of my clients come for anxiety or for sobriety support - and that population has a high percentage of ADHD) and they have had stellar results. The treatment isn't about watching a video. In fact, current treatment is now showing that any form of feedback timed to specific neurological events in a region of interest can be used as feedback. The latest coming out of MIT and Harvard is drone-flying as the neurofeedback modality. We are also looking at VR as a really engaging and quickly responsive medium. Feedback is a VERY old method, but even in the 1970's I visited Cooper Clinic and learned how to control my heart rhythms by looking at a panel of colored lights. This makes sense physiologically because the frontal areas of the brain have direct connection to midbrain and brainstem structures to excite or inhibit autonomic activity (the kind that controls things that work automatically). I realize that this seems extraordinary, but if you look at some of the research published by now, you'll see lots of empirical support. It's a type of operant conditiong - Learning. And we know the brain can learn. It can also learn to regulate its own behavior. BTW, Robert's extreme reading disability was also fixed by neurofeedback. And not just his. I've had 3 people who couldn't get their brain and eyes to read finally be able to read for pleasure. Please have more faith in your brain!

I will not deny that this guy has had a big change in his ability to function day to day however ADHD is not a 'disease' it is a neurological condition which develops due to differences in your DNA it is often passed from parent to child and not due to different parenting practices or social environment. I have ADHD i have researcher and understand on a fundamental level what it is and how it affects me. From what I have researched neurofeedback is a great treatment option for ADHD as well as other neurological and mental difficulties however IT DOES NOT CURE ADHD because it does not change your genetic code or how your neurological system fundamentally operates. What t does do is create scenarios in which your brain can adapt by developing new patterns of activity.

@Nathan...Gabor Mates' book "Scattered" indicates the condition has a great deal to do with environment as well as DNA. And the condition can manifest solely do to environment.
