ADHD Medications

ADHD medications help improve focus, attention, and impulse control in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. There are two main types: stimulants (like methylphenidate and amphetamines), which increase certain brain chemicals to enhance concentration, and non-stimulants (like atomoxetine), which work differently to regulate attention and impulses. These medications are often effective when combined with behavioral therapy, and they do not "cure" ADHD but manage its symptoms. They should be prescribed and monitored closely by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and optimal benefit, as they can have side effects and vary in effectiveness among individuals.
