ADHD Treatment Improves Teens’ Grades, Confidence

Treating teens diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) boosts their grades, provides higher self-esteem and improves family relationships, according to the results of a new U.S. survey conducted for the National Mental Health Association (NMHA).

The online survey — which included 268 parents of 14-to-18-year-olds with ADHD and another 265 teens diagnosed with the disorder — was funded by McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals. The parents and teens were recruited independently and were not matched pairs from the same families.
