How is ADHD treated?

Does ADHD get better with age?

Research indicates that about 2 in 5 children with ADHD continue to experience symptoms into their teen years. So by the time you finish puberty, ADHD symptoms may disappear completely.
By adulthood, the symptoms of ADHD typically decrease by about 50% particularly for people who received treatment at on set. lt is also observed that about 25% of people with ADHD don't require any treatment in adulthood.
