NIMH recommends that you speak with your doctor to determine if medication is appropriate for you. If you decide to use medication, make sure to talk to your doctor about how it affects your life and any adverse effects that could occur. People with ADHD frequently have comorbid disorders like anxiety and depression. These comorbid conditions can make it more difficult to respond to therapy. Adult ADHD is best treated by the combination of psychosocial therapy and medications (Rostain, et al. 2006). Psychoeducation helps adults suffering from ADHD to understand their condition and its impact on their lives. It also helps them develop strategies to handle any problems that may occur. This helps increase their self-esteem, which could have been negatively impacted by constant negative feedback from family and friends. Psychoeducation can be achieved by group and individual cognitive therapy for behavior. It is essential to take a thorough medical history, since some medical conditions could present with similar symptoms as ADHD. This includes seizures, developmental disorders (petit mal) sleep disorders, and abuse of drugs. A detailed review of the child's behavior and school experiences is also useful. Generally, nonstimulant medications are recommended first for those with comorbid psychiatric disorders. When improvement is evident in the comorbidity disorder, consideration can be given to trying stimulant medication
