The Third Station: Smell
This station is about smelling, " Aromatherapy". It is made up of an installation of a nose, ropes, and boxes. In this station the patient has to smell the four hanged boxes, and as he smells each box he should draw the first thing he thinks of/ remembers when he smelled it. This is because the smelling sense is conncected to a part of the brain which has to do with memory. The scents in the boxes were scents used in the aromatherapy in which they are used to release anger, stress, fear and depression. 
The Labyrinth (Pentagon) and other stations. 
In the making...
The First Station: Sight
The patient gets in the first station seeing all the video tapes, pictures of celebrities with ADHD, lights, quotes, and in front of him a huge mirror; so that he can see himself surrounded by all of these and get the feeling of popularity and fame.  And that would give the patient self confidence and motivation.
The Second Station: Hearing
This station is about the hearing sense. The patients afterwards walks into this station, which is designed using CDs (CD installation), he sees random words on the wall, on the other wall there is a music box with headphones. The patient should here the music and arrange the lyrics accordingly. The music and the game helps the patient to concentrate and arrange the thoughts in his mind. 
The Fourth Station: Taste
This station is about taste, it consists of a brain and ropes installation from one side, and shelves of food from the other side. There is a kind of food from each kind ( sour, sweet, salty, and chilly), the patient should get in and eat whatever he likes. In this station the patient gets happier due to the connection between the sense of taste (eating his choice of food) and the person's mood. 
The Fifth Station: Touch
This station is full of bubble wraps and colors, also a bean bag in the middle, since it is scientifically said that popping bubble wrap is a major and effective way to release stress and anger. The patient has all the time to play with the bubble wrap.
The Sixth Station: The game of challenge
In this station, after the patient has gone through the past five stations, and got relieved, he has to challenge himself and play a game that shows his concentration level.
Final touches!
