The words inattentive or hyperactive are often applied when a young person seems to lack concentration, or is overly boisterous, disorganised or consistently acting in a manner that is at odds with the demands of their environment. For some, these difficulties will be sufficiently chronic, pervasive and impairing that a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be warranted. At present, ADHD is recognised to be a biologically-based neurodevelopmental disorder that can be effectively treated through medication. However, there is also a wide range of non-drug approaches that can be used on their own or in conjunction with medication to treat, support, and empower affected individuals and their families. This paper discusses the value of psychoeducation, behavioural therapy, social skills training and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in the management of ADHD and signposts the reader to additional relevant sources.
