A doctor has provided 1 answer

ADHD: Typically stimulants such as Adderol or Ritalin (methylphenidate) are prescribed, among others. But before simply popping a pill to solve a problem, get yourself a comprehensive evaluation by a neuropsychologist to properly assess for ADHD, and then see if meds are warranted.
