ADHD and Alternative Therapy: Exploring Patient Options

Introduction

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects both children and adults, impacting focus, routines, and overall quality of life. While conventional treatments remain essential, some patients are exploring whether alternative therapies may play a role in supporting daily management.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD can present through symptoms like restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty concentrating. It can affect education, work, relationships, and self-esteem. Treatment is highly individualised and often combines multiple approaches.

Why Alternative Therapy?

Patients and families may be curious about:
– Plant-based or natural options alongside conventional care.
– Exploring holistic, lifestyle-aligned pathways.
– When standard treatments have not delivered the desired results.
– Privacy and accessibility of telehealth consultations.

The Role of Doctors

Doctors consider medical history, current challenges, and suitability before making any prescription decisions. This ensures that safety and compliance remain central.

How Telehealth Fits In

Through secure online consultations, patients can:
1. Complete a pre-qualification form.
2. Meet with a registered doctor via telehealth.
3. If suitable, receive an e-script.
4. Collect treatment from a licensed pharmacy.

Lifestyle Approaches

Many families also consider non-medication strategies such as structured routines, behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and exercise. These can complement prescribed care.
