ADHD treatment

There are various treatment plans to be implemented in such cases, which vary according to the needs of each individual patient from support group counseling or psychological therapy to medication. Of course a combination of both therapy and medication is said to provide the best results and to improve the lifestyle of the patient.

Behavioral therapy aims to gain life and social skills for the individual. ADHD medication consists of psychostimulants with the aim to rebuild focus and ability to ignore distractions or nonstimulant medication in some cases to diminish hyperactivity. Medicines are short acting, intermediate or long acting.
