ADHD Treatments

Finding the right ADHD treatment isn’t one decision—it’s a process. What works for one person might do nothing for someone else. That’s why we break it down clearly: prescription options, non-stimulants, lifestyle tools, and targeted supplements that actually support ADHD brains.

Stimulant medications are the most widely used and well-researched treatments for ADHD. They work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine—key chemicals for focus, motivation, and impulse control. Stimulants effectively “tune up” the brain’s reward system, helping you stay on track, finish tasks, and feel less scattered.

Non-stimulants are often chosen when stimulants aren’t a good fit, or when extra emotional regulation is needed. These treatments work more subtly, often targeting different neurotransmitters like norepinephrine or serotonin. They tend to build up slowly in your system, helping with anxiety, mood stability, and sleep without overstimulation. Ideal for sensitive nervous systems—or when you need a gentler baseline.
