ADHD is a developmental condition of brain with symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity or impulsivity.
Ritsumeikan UniversitySep 17 2024 People with ADHD lack the ability of self-control and experience anxiety, depression, academic failure, and low self-confidence. These symptoms can be alleviated by a holistic approach such as mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. These practices encourage patients to pay attention to the present moment with purpose and without judgment.
"Although mindfulness programs have been devised for patients with ADHD, there are challenges with respect to mindfulness meditation. To overcome this, we explored various postures that can be adopted by both patients with high and low ADHD tendencies for performing meditation easily without the need of special tools," says Dr. Fukuichi.
The researchers found that participants with hyperactivity/impulsivity tendency found body-scan meditation challenging in a slumped posture and easier to perform in the supine and upright postures. These findings suggest that people with hyperactivity/impulsivity tendency should adopt upright or supine postures for ease of performance of body-scan meditation for sustained care.
