Attention, Energy Boost

What are some alternatives to energy drinks for attention and energy boost?

I have started meditating using the Silva Mind Control Method for 15 minutes, three times a day. What long term benefits could one expect from this?

Why is my mind always blank and “refuses” to think?

What is the average attention span of a human being?

I can't focus, but I don't meet any other criteria of ADHD. What could I have?

How and why do stimulants work in ADHD?

What is your experience with ADD/ADHD medication?

Methylphenidate otherwise known as Ritalin is used to treat hyperactivity or ADHD.  It's a stimulant. How does a stimulant help someone hyperactive calm down and focus so would methamphetamine or amphetamine have a similar result.  I don't get it?

Stimulants, including caffeine, work for some with ADHD, not all with ADHD. This is based upon observation. Technically, part of the reason stimulants work is that they temporarily boost the electrical activity in the brain and activate parts of the autonomic nervous system. All stimulants are only partial answers to ADHD, not 100% cures. X-ref: neurology, attentional control challenges, etc.

What would convince a parent to get their kid to the doctor for an ADD or ADHD diagnosis?

An ADD or ADHD diagnosis is quite different than finding a medicine which works for ADD or ADHD. Brain-mind medicines work for some with ADHD, not all with ADHD.

What supplements/medication can I take to boost my focus and concentration?

If you feel bad because you lack focus and purpose in your life, can drugs like Ritalin, Dexedrine, or Adderall help to turn you into a focused and ambitious human being?

How do you improve your communication skills at work with ADHD and dyslexia?

What all can contribute to loss of focus by a focused, healthy adult? What can help to be able to focus again and pursue goals?
