Brief Answer:
Prescription medicines will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
ADHD can be treated using medication or therapy, but a combination of both is often best. Treatment is usually arranged by a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, although the condition may be monitored by your GP.
The medications like methylphenidate or dexamphetamine help with the condition concentrate better, be less impulsive, feel calmer, and learn and practise new skills.
These are all prescription medicines and need regular monitoring under the guidance of your GP.

Wishing you good health.
