(prHWY.com) January 4, 2013 - Marble Falls, TX -- January 4, 2013 - Medication has been one of the top interventions for teens with ADHD. As far as treating ADHD goes, many studies have been done on the effectiveness of medication, and one of these studies has recently shown that medication does indeed reduce the likelihood of ADHD teens' criminal activities. A study published at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows how teens who take medication for ADHD had lower incidences of run-ins with the law and a lower recidivism rate over a period of 4 years compared to a non-medicated group.
Researchers point out though that medication should not be seen as the magic pill that solves all issues tied up with ADHD. Some forms of medication have adverse effects over a long period of time. Since there is no cure for ADHD (only ways to minimize and cope with symptoms), it is important to consider a holistic approach that does not rely solely on medication. There have been numerous studies on treating ADHD symptoms, and many studies agree that the better approach is to combine medication with proper diet, exercise, and a structured daily schedule. In support of this,
http://www.mma-tx.org has announced their annual summer camp which provides students with a great opportunity to participate in four weeks of military-inspired activities. The MMA summer camp gives teens the opportunity to fulfill leadership roles, learn about discipline and accountability, and strengthen their social skills through teamwork. Research on treating ADHD shows that being in a healthy environment and engaging in a healthy amount of exercise can significantly help with lowering ADHD symptoms. Many ADHD teens who go through MMA summer camps say that being in nature has a calming effect on them, and the structure and military-style exercises help take the edge off. Treating ADHD can be a lot easier when teens are more engaged in a healthy lifestyle. MMA summer camps aim to do just that.
Summer camps can be quite culturally immersive too. MMA summer camps have participants from different part of the country as well as other parts of the world.check this link above for more information. This could be a great opportunity for young boys with ADHD to learn how to be more disciplined, and to get them back in gear for the coming school year. Camp activities include obstacle courses, scuba diving, iron man races, rifling, paintball, boxing, and many more. It's sure to be an enjoyable time for participants.
