Treatment & Types of ADHD in Karnataka
Stimulant medications are the most effective and commonly used treatment to improve focus and reduce impulsivity, with non-stimulant medications available as alternatives when needed. Behavioral therapy, organizational skills training, and educational accommodations complement medication treatment, particularly in children, to support academic and social functioning.
ADHD is classified into three presentations recognized in clinical practice: predominantly inattentive presentation (difficulty focusing and organizing without much hyperactivity), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation (restlessness and impulsive behavior with fewer attention difficulties), and combined presentation, where both sets of symptoms are prominent — the most commonly diagnosed form.
