Question:  Why do some dismiss the idea of brain-mind medicines?

Answer:  Part of the dismissal can be due to the rarity of first person reports of brain-mind medicines working better than expected.  The following educational books about neurology can help:  Remarkable Medicine book (Dreyfus), the How To (Temporarily) Cure Hyperactivity book (about Inattentive ADHD relief) (Wild), The Hyperactive Child book (Renshaw), Nerves in Collision book (Alvarez), etc.

What are some of your favorite concentration techniques you use to help tame your ADD/ADHD?
