Meditation and ADHD ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder

[Updated 6 April 2026]

I had profound Attention Deficit Disorder in my teens and early adult life.

Meditation changed that for me. It literally erased it in 2007 after a period of regular Deep Jhana meditation sessions.

I notice when I sit at the computer and go half the speed I used to go. My internet connection is significantly slower and maybe that is helping the mind slow down too.

I’m attributing the reduction in ADHD – ADD symptoms to meditation, and more specifically, the results of meditation when I entered Deep Jhana states. The changes have already been made inside the mind and I’m not sure whether I could speed back up to ADD/ADHD infused mind the way I was in the USA.

If you think you or your kids might have ADD – ADHD and you don’t know where to turn, I can maybe help a bit.

I wrote a short book about my experience practicing meditation which led to a complete dissolution of all noise in my head related to ADD.

I’ll link to it below.
