In this episode of the 5 FAQs Podcast, Dr. Jon discusses medication therapy and the treatment of adult ADHD. He explains that ADHD is a neurodivergent condition that affects executive functions, such as time management and focus. Medication, particularly stimulant and non-stimulant medications, is considered the gold standard for treatment. Therapy, specifically cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), is also beneficial in helping individuals with ADHD develop coping strategies and improve executive functioning.
Challenges in therapy may include the lack of immediate gratification and the emotional intensity of addressing deep-seated issues. The future of ADHD treatment involves tailoring medications to different presentations of the disorder and exploring integrative therapy approaches.
