ABSTRACT
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications are legal but come under the Misuse of Drugs Act as they have the potential to be abused. ADHD medications are legal but come under the Misuse of Drugs Act as they have the potential to be abused. Non-stimulant medication such as atomoxetine is not controlled. Some people may notice a link between types of food and worsening ADHD symptoms. Some studies have suggested that supplements of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may be beneficial in people with ADHD, although the evidence supporting this is somewhat limited, with very high doses of specific types of supplement required for very modest benefit. Problems with sleep are common in ADHD. There is evidence that this is part of the ADHD syndrome, as the brain systems involved in governing sleep/arousal are closely tied with those governing attention.
