ADHD Treatment

The Web sites in this section detail how to diagnose ADHD and how to find ADHD treatment options, including behavioral therapies, medications and alternative treatments.

Insights for ADHD Treatment

  • The Internet can be a dangerous place to look for medication or medical treatment, especially when it comes to alternative therapies, because not everything on the Internet can be trusted. Make sure to consult only the most well established sites such as the Mayo Clinic and the American Academy of Pediatrics, or some of the others listed below.
  • The "About Us" section of a Web site is a great way to determine its validity. If a site doesn't have an "About Us" section, that is usually an indicator that it's not a valid source. For more on how to assess the credibility of health Web sites, see our findingDulcinea Health Web Guide.
  • There are a number of articles online suggesting new breakthroughs in medicine and recent studies. Make sure these articles are current by checking their publication dates.
  • Always consult your doctor before beginning any new treatment; ADHD should not be managed alone.
