Question: The treatment and therapy for Attention Deficit Hypertension Disease (ADHD).

Answer: Treatment
Behavioral therapy and medication can improve the symptoms of ADHD. Studies have found that a combination of behavioral therapy and medication works best for most people, particularly those with moderate to severe ADHD.

Therapy
Behavioral therapy focuses on managing the symptoms of ADHD. For children, treatment usually consists of teaching parents and teachers how to provide positive feedback for desired behaviors and consequences for negative ones. Although behavioral therapy requires careful coordination, it can help children learn how to control their behavior and make good choices. Adults with ADHD may benefit from psychotherapy and from behavioral strategies that improve structure and organization.
