What happens if Neurofeedback clients are taking medications?   

The correct dosage of stimulant medications (eg Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, or Cylert) can, when effective, produce a rapid reduction in the frequency of impulsive and hyperactive behaviors. As such, many patients will start a trial of medications or be on medications when they start receiving Neurofeedback.

Over the course of treatment, individuals using medications may be able to reduce or terminate the use of these medications while maintaining control over disruptive behaviours.However, any changes in medications must be discussed with the prescribing physician. The physician and family together will decide whether a reduction in medications is appropriate.

What Neurofeedback Treatmentr is not?

Neurofeeback is not a cure all treatment.

• For organic brain disorders, it can only be a matter of having the brain to function better rather than curing the condition.
• Neurofeedback does not cure diseases or mental illness. Neurofeedback trains the  brain to achieve self regulation. The body heals itself. 

Think of Neurofeedback as a personal training session for the brain, where the brain becomes it's own trainer. Training the brain to function at it's maximum potential is similar to the way the body is trained, toned and maintained. Instead of muscle, brain training exercises the neural pathways that allow the brain to have better function in areas such as concentration and focus.

Neurofeedback is a painless, non-invasive treatment approach that allows the individual to gain information about his or her brainwave activity and use that information to produce changes in brainwave activity.
