Medication is often a key component of ADHD treatment.
There are two main types of medications used:
- Stimulants: These are the most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD and include drugs such as methylphenidate and amphetamines. Stimulants help increase attention and decrease impulsivity and hyperactivity in individuals with ADHD.
- Non-Stimulants: These medications, such as atomoxetine (Strattera) and guanfacine (Intuniv), can be prescribed if stimulants are not effective or cause unwanted side effects.
