adhd and sex: Pharmacotherapy in ADHD

By Lucas Olle

Only in recent years the medical sciences have been more aware of the influence of sex on the effects of pharmacotherapy in general.

Pharmacotherapy is presently the first-line treatment in the management of ADHD symptoms.

Observational studies and clinical-trials have demonstrated that medication is successful in lowering core ADHD symptoms, increasing everyday functioning and may have a beneficial influence on self-esteem, both in the long and short-term, usually enhancing quality of life. Currently, in the U.S., approximately two thirds (62.0%) of children with ADHD aged two to 17 were receiving medication for the treatment of ADHD symptoms.

Research on the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of ADHD medication in adults has expanded in the last 15 years since it became apparent that ADHD commonly persists into adulthood and negatively impacts functional results.
