Advances in understanding and treating ADHD
Open accessAbstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurocognitive behavioral developmental disorder most commonly seen in childhood and adolescence, which often extends to the adult years. Relative to a decade ago, there has been extensive research into understanding the factors underlying ADHD, leading to far more treatment options available for both adolescents and adults with this disorder. Novel stimulant formulations have made it possible to tailor treatment to the duration of efficacy required by patients, and to help mitigate the potential for abuse, misuse and diversion. Several new non-stimulant options have also emerged in the past few years. Among these, cognitive behavioral interventions have proven popular in the treatment of adult ADHD, especially within the adult population who cannot or will not use medications, along with the many medication-treated patients who continue to show residual disability.
Overview
AI snapshot
Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This narrative review summarizes advances in understanding ADHD as a complex neurobiological disorder and in treating it with stimulant and non-stimulant medications plus psychosocial approaches. It emphasizes that newer formulations and CBT expand options, but many patients still have residual impairment, comorbidity, and adherence problems.
Key findings
- ADHD prevalence estimates have risen from 3 to 5% of school-age children to about 7 to 8% of school-age children and 4 to 5% of adults; “uncomplicated” ADHD may exist in about 20 to 25% of adults with ADHD.
- Stimulants remain first-line and are more efficacious than non-stimulants; long-acting formulations and the prodrug lisdexamfetamine dimesylate may reduce abuse, misuse, and diversion risk.
- In adults with ADHD, 12 sessions of CBT produced more treatment responders (53%) than relaxation training and educational support (23%), with gains maintained at 6 and 12 months; however, one group CBT workshop program had one-third of participants drop out.
- Only 49% of adults with ADHD were prescribed long-acting agents, and even in non-comorbid ADHD, optimal functioning occurs in only roughly one in four children.
Methods
- Design: narrative review of current conceptualizations of ADHD causes and advances in treatment, including stimulant and non-stimulant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.
- Data/sample: published literature and prior studies; no primary participant sample or systematic search strategy is reported.
- Main analysis: qualitative synthesis, with tables summarizing DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, pharmacological treatments, and non-pharmacological interventions.
Limitations
- The paper states that pharmacogenetics “cannot yet guide treatment choices,” that evidence for CBT as a stand-alone treatment is limited, that long-term cardiovascular side-effects are less certain, and that little is known about predictors of long-term adherence.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not report a systematic search, inclusion criteria, risk-of-bias assessment, or quantitative synthesis, so findings may be selectively presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
