Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder that often appear on preschoolers or school-age children. Main treatment of the disorder involves drug therapy and non-drug therapies, the different treatments have different effects and adverse reactions. This paper looks into the mechanism of action of some most commonly used treatments like CNS and non-CNS stimulants, psychosocial therapies and NIBS, as well as the extent to which they are effective. This paper also attempted to discuss which is the most effective among them. The discussion comes to a result that all therapies listed are not perfect and can still be improved. To know about the imperfections of these cures will help future studies to develop more complete, more effective and less harmful therapies to help patients overcome their ADHD disorder.
