Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Therapeutic approaches that use mindfulness techniques to help individuals with ADHD improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and manage emotional responses.
Overview
Mindfulness-based interventions use meditation and awareness practices to help individuals with ADHD improve attention and emotional regulation.
Detailed Description
Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with acceptance and without judgment. For individuals with ADHD, mindfulness practices can help improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and enhance emotional regulation. Research shows that mindfulness-based interventions can be beneficial for ADHD, though they may require adaptation for the ADHD brain's tendency to wander.
How This Relates to ADHD

Treatment and Management
Mindfulness-based interventions can be learned through classes, apps, or with a therapist. Starting with short practices and being patient with the process is important.
