Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main ADHD treatment options?
Effective ADHD treatment usually combines medication with behavioral strategies. Options include stimulant and non-stimulant medications, skills coaching for organization and time management, therapy for co-occurring concerns, and environmental adjustments.
