Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects both children and adults, leading to difficulties with focus, organization, and impulse control. Managing ADHD effectively involves a combination of behavioral strategies, medication, and therapy.

Pharmacologic treatments for ADHD often include stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin, Concerta) and amphetamines (e.g., Adderall), which help increase focus and reduce impulsivity. Non-stimulant medications like atomoxetine (Strattera) may also be prescribed for those who cannot tolerate stimulants or for those who have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety.

Nonpharmacologic treatments include behavioral therapy, which helps patients develop organizational and time management skills, as well as improve focus and reduce impulsive behaviors. Parent training and education are essential for children with ADHD to support behavioral management at home and school. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also effective in helping adults with ADHD address executive function issues and develop coping strategies.
