Medications: Adhd is a medical illness similar to diabetes. There is a biological, inherited, genetic predisposition. After a thorough evaluation by a psychiatrist who is knowledgeable about adhd in adults, you will be more likely to have an accurate diagnosis. At that point, treatment options will be discussed. Medication treatments are the foundation of treatment for adhd, which are effective and safe.
