Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents. It is marked with deficits in behavioral symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsivity along with cognitive deficits in the domain of attention, self-regulation, and executive function. Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) have come up as an intervention of choice for various psychological disorders such as anxiety disorder, depression, substance abuse, and eating disorder. Mindfulness at its core is paying non-judgmental attention to the present moment. Despite the robust evidence for both of the treatment modalities available, the cognitive symptoms of ADHD still progress towards adulthood affect the individual's achievement and overall psychosocial adjustment. A number of recent studies have found preliminary evidence about the effectiveness of MBI as an adjunct treatment in ADHD. The chapter will discuss the evidence-based interventions that incorporate mindfulness.
