ADHD Part 2 -  Management

ADHD Management

1. • The goal of ADHD treatment is to ensure that people with ADHD can reach their full potential. 

   • ​For most people, stimulant medications are a safe and effective way to relieve ADHD symptoms. As glasses help people focus their eyes to see, these medications help people focus their thoughts better and ignore distractions. This makes them more able to pay attention and control their behaviour.  

   • Moderate reductions in ADHD symptoms from medications usually do not achieve the degree of improvement that most people hope for, so other elements in the treatment regimen are needed—coaching, CBT, ACT, additional medications, exercise, sleep rhythm therapy, etc.—to achieve real-life satisfaction.
