Treating ADHD
Captions available
The idea
ADHD treatment combines behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, education and medication; stimulant treatment is associated with about a 1.9-fold reduction in later risk of substance-use disorder.
In practice
A student on medication also learns self-monitoring routines and uses a daily checklist at school.
Where people slip
Treatment combines approaches, so medication alone is not the whole plan.
