Behavioral therapy and psychosocial interventions have been shown to help individuals with ADHD manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning.
Different types of medications can be prescribed for the treatment of ADHD which include the use of stimulants in various formulations (ie, Vyvanse, Concerta) and/or non-stimulant medications (Wellbutrin, Strattera, Qelbree, guanfacine, clonidine).
The type and dosage of medications are tailored to each individual by our team of psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners.
Warning:
Prescription stimulant medications are Schedule II controlled substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and have a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. Even when used as prescribed, they have associated risks including misuse, abuse, and diversion, severe psychological or physical dependence, overdose, sudden death, stroke, heart attack, increased blood pressure and heart rate, seizures, and new or worsening mental or psychiatric problems such as addiction, anger, paranoia, or psychosis.
Neuro Behavioral Center has policies and procedures in place to ensure the safe prescribing of all controlled substances in accordance with the regulatory guidelines set forth by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
TMS is not FDA-approved for the treatment of ADHD, but there is research suggesting TMS is a safe and effective treatment for ADHD. TMS is currently available at Neuro Behavioral Center.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive (non-surgical) treatment presently approved by FDA for medication-resistant depression, OCD, migraines, and smoking session.
