1. Pharmacological treatments
Stimulant medication
Stimulants have a long history of use in the treatment of ADHD and are available in short and long-acting formulations. The short-acting formulation is usually taken two to three times a day whereas the long-acting formulation is taken once daily.
Non-stimulant medication
A newer type of compound known as noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor was introduced more recently for the treatment of ADHD. The effects it produces on chemicals in the brain are different to those produced by stimulants
2. Non-pharmacological treatments
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) & psycho-social interventions
Most individuals treated with medications continue to evidence at least some residual symptoms and functional impairments. CBT and psycho-social interventions can be utilised to reduce these symptoms.
