Question 1

Describe at least two treatment options for attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.

Accepted Answer

1. Medication: Stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamines (Adderall) are commonly used to treat ADHD. These medications work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which can help improve focus, attention, and impulse control. Non-stimulant medications, such as atomoxetine (Strattera) and guanfacine (Intuniv), may also be prescribed for individuals who do not respond well to stimulants or who experience intolerable side effects.

2. Behavioral therapy: Behavioral therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavior modification techniques, can also be effective in treating ADHD. This type of therapy focuses on teaching individuals with ADHD specific skills and strategies for managing their symptoms, such as improving organization, time management, and problem-solving abilities. It can also help individuals develop coping mechanisms for dealing with impulsivity and distractibility. Additionally, behavioral therapy can provide support and education for family members and caregivers, helping them better understand and support the individual with ADHD.
