Did you know that ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) has been recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder since the early 20th century? Initially, it was referred to as “hyperkinetic impulse disorder.” Over the decades, research has evolved and provided insights into effective treatments, including medication and behavioral therapies. Medicines like stimulants have been proven to help many children focus better and manage impulsivity, leading to improvements in academic and social settings. In real-life applications, medications such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and amphetamines (Adderall, Vyvanse) can significantly improve outcomes for children with ADHD. However, they work best when combined with behavioral interventions, like parent training and school support. It’s a collaborative effort involving not just medication but also educational strategies, helping kids thrive both at home and in school environments.
