Mindfulness Training for ADHD

for ADHD

Mindfulness training for ADHD focuses on developing sustained attention and impulse awareness through formal meditation practice adapted for ADHD-affected brains.

How it works

Strengthens the prefrontal regulation of attention and impulse control through repeated practice of directing and redirecting attention. Increases metacognitive awareness of thought patterns.

What to watch for

Standard mindfulness programmes may be difficult for people with ADHD — ADHD-adapted programmes with shorter, more varied practices are better tolerated. Works well as an adjunct to medication.
