Managing ADHD

• Medication: Helps balance brain chemicals to improve focus and emotional regulation.
• Therapy & Behavioral Strategies: Talking with a psychologist and applying behavior-modification techniques can significantly improve daily life and emotional well-being.

Is Medication Effective?

Yes, very effective. Medications help regulate key neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which are often imbalanced in people with ADHD. When these chemicals are stabilized, you may notice improvements such as:

• Better focus and task completion
• Improved organization and information processing
• Enhanced emotional control
• Stronger and healthier relationships
