Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a mental disorder, is usually found in children and has the potential to persist throughout their lifespan. It negatively influences many dimensions of patients’ life, including emotions, academics, occupation, and relationships. Today’s medications and therapies offer patients many options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. It can be difficult to find the best one. Since age may be a fundamental factor influencing treatment options, so this article mainly discusses common treatments and ideal treatments for all age groups. After summarizing the treatment options for different populations, it is necessary to continue to explore the effect of age on treatment efficacy to find the best treatment options. As age increases, the reaction to drugs becomes different. For example, estrogen has a dramatic effect on the most popular medication today, and women experience significant hormonal changes during menopause that cause the medicine to be ineffective. However, today’s treatments do not differentiate for the changes that occur with aging, and it is likely that many medications do not achieve the desired response and effect. The current research on ADHD in older adults is far from adequate.
