The management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder does not lead to the elimination of its symptoms (cure). The aims of the measures taken are:
- reducing the severity of symptoms (pharmacotherapy);
- improving the patient’s quality of life;
- preventing or treating complications.
In the case of chronic health problems, and ADHD is one of these, treatment usually lasts for years, often until the end of life. However, a significant proportion of people affected by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder begin to manage their symptoms in adulthood.
