I'm ADD, and I found it to be helpful during a period when I was sitting regularly.
I prefer just vipassana, watching the breath and watching thoughts as they arise and fade. No chanting or 'OMMM'.
An interesting book is "Zen and the Brain" by an emeritus professor of neurology, published by MIT Press. The author started doing zen while in Japan in the late 60s. Over about 1000 pages, he tries to come up with testable hypotheses explaining the phenomena and results of long-term meditation practice.
It's very detailed and dense. There are a few chapters that describe his subjective experiences, but the rest is pretty scientific. There are few illustrations, it's a massive block of text.
