A person with ADHD is likely to benefit from which set?

• A. Group therapy, medication, psychotherapy
• B. Dietary changes only
• C. Surgery
• D. Avoiding treatment

Answer: (A)

ADHD is best managed with a plan that combines medication with behavioral and psychosocial supports. Medication helps reduce core symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which often leads to better functioning at home, school, and work. Group therapy adds peer support and practical skills for social interactions and behavior in real-life situations, while psychotherapy—particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy—teaches strategies for organization, planning, and coping with coexisting issues such as anxiety or mood symptoms. Together, these elements address both symptoms and daily functioning across multiple settings, making this combined approach the most effective. Dietary changes alone don’t have strong, consistent evidence as a standalone treatment, surgery isn’t used for ADHD, and avoiding treatment would leave symptoms and impairments unaddressed.
