Treatment Options for Children with ADHD

Some common treatment options for children with ADHD include:

– Stimulant drugs, such as Dexedrine and Adderall. They work by modulating the hormones norepinephrine and dopamine to boost focuses and concentration.

– Non-stimulant drugs can help ease disruptive behaviors or memory problems. Exact dosages and side effects can vary.

– Parental training to help parents intervene in ADHD behaviors and support their children when needed.

– Behavioral therapy to help manage symptoms. This is the first-line treatment option for children under 6 years old who cannot take come medications due to possible side effects.

– Professional support from schools or educational institutions. [7]
