Medications for ADHD

Medications used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood. Some individuals may not be diagnosed until they are adults. ADHD is characterized by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Common symptoms include trouble focusing, being easily distracted, and having difficulty organizing tasks. People with ADHD may also struggle to sit still, often fidgeting or feeling restless, and may act impulsively without considering the consequences. These symptoms can lead to challenges in school, work, and social situations. While the exact cause of ADHD is not known, it is believed to result from a mix of genetic and environmental factors. A range of prescription medications is available to help manage ADHD symptoms. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of ADHD, it’s important to talk with a doctor to discuss the best treatment options.
