This may include behavioral interventions such as creating structured routines, setting clear goals and expectations, using organisational tools like planners or reminders, and implementing strategies to improve time management and task completion.

Medication for ADHD typically includes stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin) or amphetamine (e.g., Adderall), as well as non-stimulant medications like atomoxetine (Strattera) or guanfacine (Intuniv). These medications can help improve attention, concentration, and impulse control by affecting neurotransmitter levels in the brain. However, medication is often used in conjunction with other therapies and interventions for comprehensive ADHD management.
