This article reviews magnesium as a potential intervention for treatment of comorbid anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation and increase memory and learning in students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 72% to 96% of those diagnosed with ADHD are magnesium deficient. Deficiency has been linked to excitability in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors which may increase depression and anxiety and decrease working memory; traits common in ADHD. ADHD is frequently compounded by mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Magnesium has been successfully used to treat depression and anxiety. Research is needed to determine if magnesium is an option to treat ADHD.
