The path from enrollment to graduation can be extremely challenging for college students diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Students with ADHD may have difficulties with assignments, reading comprehension, note-taking, tests, and time management, which can result in poor organization, academic underachievement and procrastination. Students with ADHD may also experience distractibility and difficulty focusing.
Teen and adult students with ADHD often have to work harder in the less structured college setting. They may want to take steps, including:
• Joining study groups
• Developing tailored learning plans
• Taking a smaller course load
• Setting and maintaining academic goals
• Scheduling regular meetings with faculty
Academic services are often available to students with ADHD, such as study skills assistance and extended time for tests.
As many as 3.8 million students in the United States are diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, making it one the most common behavioral disorders. At least 2 million students with ADHD take Ritalin and other prescription stimulants and medications.
Acupuncture is an effective therapy for the treatment of ADHD, without the side effects of medications.
Many commonly prescribed drugs for ADHD alleviate symptoms but do not treat the root cause of the disorder. Acupuncture can aid students with ADHD in their ability to focus, improve concentration and reduce the need for Ritalin and other medications.
Symptoms of ADHD can be reduced with acupuncture, usually after one to four months of weekly acupuncture treatment sessions. A comprehensive program including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and nutritional supplementation can often effectively treat mild cases of ADHD. Acupuncture may also be used as an adjunct therapy in more severe cases to aid in lowering medication dosage and to reduce side effects.
Acupuncture is often one of the first treatment choices for teen and adult students with ADHD and is a safe, holistic therapy.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, as many as 3.8 million schoolchildren in the United States are diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), making it one the most common behavioral problems for children and adolescents. Of these, at least 2 million take stimulants like Ritalin, and many more take other prescription medications. Soliman primarily treats ADHD with auricular medicine, a subspecialty of medical acupuncture that uses the human ear as a means of diagnosing and treating dysfunctional systems in the body. The procedure stimulates certain points on the ear with a mild, electrical pulse. Once the symptoms of ADHD disappear, usually after one to four months of weekly treatment sessions, patients can cease therapy.
