Treatment
ADHD or ADD can be treated effectively. Medication reduces the symptoms, allowing you to concentrate better and feel calmer. In combination with individual guidance, this leads to more focus and a better quality of life.
Pyscho-educations entails “providing information in a systematic manner including the onset and course of ADHD symptoms, the impact of the symptoms on ones functioning, and the treatment options”.
If you are diagnosed with ADHD on the diagnosis day, you will, if so desired, immediately receive a trial treatment of ADHD medication such as methylphenidate or dexamphetamine (medication of first choice).
Medication has a positive effect in reducing concentration problems, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. However, old patterns are persistent and new behaviour does not come naturally.
