A family-centered approach for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children shows positive results in reducing behaviors such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, a new study shows.
In the United States, diagnoses of the disorder, known as ADHD, in children have increased dramatically in recent decades, affecting 6-7% of children and adolescents. One of the most common mental disorders affecting children, ADHD is often treated with medication, especially stimulants that help to modulate dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
For the study, published in
Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, researchers assessed the efficacy of the treatment, called the Nurtured Heart Approach, for the treatment of ADHD behaviors.
