ABSTRACT
Treatment did allow him to help more with breakfast and making the kids’ lunches though and maybe sometimes pitch in on the beds, even if only to please his wife. So treatment helped in some ways and perhaps enabled them to better negotiate their difference of opinion about the merits of made beds—just as every couple needs to negotiate their differences. Educating themselves about ADHD and medication were by far the most commonly used treatments, with about two thirds of respondents using each of them. The typical advice for managing ADHD is to use a multimodal treatment program that involves using several interventions, and this is what most people tend to do. The average number of treatments used was 2.4. Overall, the biggest improvement came from the first treatment that respondents tried. And probably the non-ADHD partner should also have some input, not only on treatment effectiveness but also on treatment targets.
