Received Date: Jun 18, 2023 / Published Date: Jul 13, 2023
Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting children and adolescents. While medication is commonly prescribed, non-pharmacological interventions are gaining recognition as effective approaches to managing ADHD symptoms and improving overall well-being. This article provides an overview of non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD, including behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, parenting interventions, school-based interventions, exercise and physical activity, and mindfulness techniques. These interventions target behavior modification, executive functions, coping strategies, and environmental factors. By adopting a comprehensive and personalized approach, non-pharmacological interventions can empower individuals with ADHD to better regulate their behavior, improve academic performance, and enhance their quality of life.
