Specializes in Psychiatry

Structure: Though stimulant medications are the best treatment for adhd, there are times when they don't work, or should be avoided, like pregnancy. In those cases, and even when meds are used, the centerpiece of adhd treatment is structure. You should be working to structure your daily life, especially the boring, repetitive tasks as much as possible. Adhd coaches are helpful as well as websites and books.
