ADHD and Video Games - Pros and Cons

Wouldn't it be wonderful if attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and video games were the definitive treatment for this mental condition? I am not talking about the average video games and other electronic media which the NIH have condemned as a possible cause of obesity and even ADHD. There has been a recent development in ADHD and video games which although controversial, could be a pointer to future treatment of ADHD.

How and why did ADHD and video games become a reality? In a NASA study, children were given these games to play and their brain waves were wired up to sensors. If they lacked focus or concentration, this had the effect of slowing down the controls on the game so that it became impossible to play it. This would be a sort of brain training involving neuro feedback which could then be applied to other areas of learning such as homework and academic achievements but also in doing normal everyday tasks.

But it is still early days and enough studies have not been done to show what the short term and long term benefits could be.This is the opinion of Dr. Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Schneider Children's Hospital in New York. Also the fact that an electroencephalogram or EEG, to map brain activity is needed, means that the video games must be used under the right kind of supervision.

Experts and medical authorities are understandably cautious in that parents might opt for an enjoyable type of treatment and abandon the tried and tested treatment for ADHD which up to now have more or less worked. Certainly the idea of not having to medicate ADHD children with methylphenidate and other amphetamines like Concerta, Adderall and Vyvanse is an attractive proposition for many parents.

Apart from the cost of a gaming system such as the one described above (about $2,500), the fact is that ADHD and video games can only be considered as an alternative to other types of therapy.

Which brings us back to the tried and tested means of treatment which may never be replaced. There is an alternative to ADHD meds and that is ADHD homeopathic remedies which are safe and have no long term risks for the ADHD child. Why not try and find out more about these treatments instead of fantasising about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and video games.
