Press Release Summary = Drugs should be the last alternative to any disorder, this
includes ADD/ADHD

Press Release Body = I grew up with ADHD. I\'m now 40 years old and have lived with
ADD/ADHD my whole life. Although My purpose here is not to explain about ADHD or to
tell my personal story or struggles with it, but rather to explain briefly my belief
that there are alternatives to drugs, which I believe should be the last alternative
only under the most extreme circumstances.

I recently discovered an exciting new Brain Training Program.

BrainSkills is a brand-new, up scale, brain training program for enhancing mental
skills, your learning and processing capabilities.

First, let me say what BrainSkills training is NOT. BrainSkills is not like
schoolwork. The authors seem to have deliberately made it different than classroom
and homework assignments. It doesn't teach subjects like math and history and
social studies. It works on the underlying learning skills that are necessary for
success in those academic subjects and many more.

BrainSkills training has a positive impact because it's intense, sequenced and one
on one. The exercises are really like physical therapy for your brain. Like games
and contests, the training exercises are stimulating and satisfying.

With success comes the desire to do it again and again. As tasks are repeated skills
are rewarded and new skills are strengthened.

I am not one to put labels on things, I think labels for behavioral disorders are
probably just so drugs can be prescribed, although they do make it easier in
discussing problems such as ADHD. I would just like to stress the fact that drugs
should always be the very last alternative to any problem, certainly at least second
to some positive training or learning program.
