Common Treatment Options for ADHD

ADHD is a behavioral disorder usually diagnosed in children, although some adults may also show milder symptoms. It manifests as the inability of the child to focus on a single action or object for a normal amount of time. Left untreated, ADHD can have serious negative consequences in the long term (social, psychological, academic).
Parents with children suffering from ADHD already know that there is no treatment out there that can make this condition magically disappear. They can only resort to the few options available to reduce their child's symptoms in the short term. Usually there are three major known treatments: medication, behavioral therapy, and both combined. There are also other recently developed alternatives to traditional behavior therapy. Let's take a look at the entire list of treatments available:
· Cognitive-behavioral interventions (CBI)
Although the efficacy has not been established, this form of behavior therapy is aimed at developing self-control in children with ADHD. They are taught to self-instruct and self-reinforcing when they find a break in their behavior. In this way, stop yourself and eventually can boost their behavior and inattention operate.
· Clinical behavioral therapy (CBT)
This is a popular program of behavior therapy, widely used in the classroom, but also at home. The goal of CBT is primarily to train parents, teachers and carers how contingency management behavior to implement. Usually there will be a report that the targeted behavior in children and rewards accordingly registers are.
· Direct Contingency Management (CM)
CM is an intensive behavior modification program, standardized for treatment facilities or classrooms. It uses positive (reward) and negative reinforcement (privilege loss, timeout) to encourage desired behavior, and impulsive or inattentive to discourage.
· Intensive behavioral therapies
This program combines CBT and CM, aimed at developing self-control and social skills and a friendly, safe and fun environment. This form of therapy is usually held within the camp, where children have a behavior intervention classes to attend and parents witness their progress.
· Combined Pharmacological and behavioral interventions
This form of treatment has been found by the scientific community to the best approach so far for ADHD. A major advantage is that the time spent by parents and teachers, to a certain behavior change decreases, while the dose of the medication can also be reduced gradually.
