Medication plays a crucial role in managing Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The primary goal of medication treatment is to improve overall functioning by lessening the core symptoms typically associated with ADHD, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Important Points to Remember:
Individualized Approach: The best medication and dosage are highly individual. Dr. Brugman will work collaboratively with you to find the right fit.
Types of Medication: Stimulants are the most common type of ADHD medication. They have a long and successful history in ADHD treatment, becoming the standard approach since the 1980s.
Other Medication Options: There are also non-stimulant options available.
Monitoring is Key: Regular checkups with Dr Brugman are essential to monitor medication effectiveness and manage any potential side effects.
Finding the Right Fit: The correct medication and dose allows the patients to be themselves but more focused.
