{| class="wikitable"
*Educating the patient and his or her family members can prove useful in combating the negative effects of ADHD. For the parents or guardians of young patients, parenting skills training can help teach them the skills they need to encourage and reward positive behaviors in their children. Such training helps parents learn how to use a system of rewards and consequences to change a child’s behavior. In this intervention, parents are taught to give immediate and positive feedback for behaviors they want to encourage, and ignore or redirect behaviors that they want to discourage.

Overview

The mainstay of therapy for ADHD is the administration of such stimulants as Ritalin and Adderall. While there is no cure for ADHD, currently available treatments can help reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Other treatment options include psychotherapy, education and training, or a combination of therapies.[1]

Measurement-based care may help[2][3].

Practice guidelines are available[4]<[5]

Medical Therapy

Several different types of medications may be prescribed to mitigate the symptoms associated with ADHD. Approximately 3% of adults are treated with persistent medication[6].

The research on treatment is summarized within reviews by the Cochrane Developmental, Psychosocial & Learning Problems Group. '

  • Stimulants, such as Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamine salts (dextroamphetamine and amphetamine; Adderall), are used to increase the patient’s supply of the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, which play essential roles in thinking and attention.[1] Ritalin is safe and effective in preschool-aged children suffering from ADHD so long as they are closely monitored while taking the drug.[7]
  • Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. It may be dosed once a day and is less likely to be abused.
  • Atomoxetine (Strattera) is a selective norepinepherine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) approved for the management of ADHD. It is effective in adult ADHD and is often favored due to lack of abuse potential[8]. Atomoxetine carries a black box warning as there is an increase risk of suicidal ideation in adolescents[9]. While it is non-inferior to methylphenidate in children, its adverse effects in children and adolescents render it a less favorable treatment option.[10]
  • Non-stimulants such as extended release Guanfacine and Clonidine (both alpha-2 adrenergic agonists) are also used to treat ADHD[11].
  • Other drugs, including anti-depressants, may also be prescribed in cases of ADHD depending on the patient’s co-morbidities.[1]
