Managing ADD without medication: Tips and Tricks

I personally take medication, but my friend who has ADHD and doesn’t take meds says that exercising in the morning before getting ready for the day really helps her!

I haven't been on medication for a long time (no insurance to even try to see a doctor), but what's helped me is a support group, i.e my mom, boyfriend, closest friends. I know I function by talking and visualizing whatever I'm going on about, and having a loved one there to hear me and make points with me helps me through a lot of challenging times!

I heard that diet, exercise, and taking the right vitamins really help

The best way I’ve found is to listen to your brain and learn how to work with it. Can’t do work right now? Okay take a break so I’m not as tired later. Can’t do THIS assignment….well is there a different one I can do? Hmmm I focus English really well at 11pm, I’ll do it then, ect. It helps prevent burn out and actually do work. Everyone’s brain’s a little different, but that helps some.
