Abstract

The goal of this review is to compare the efficacy of pharmacological therapy and behavioral therapy to combination therapy in adults who are diagnosed with ADHD. Several studies are reviewed including randomized controlled trials (RCT) and meta-analyses with the goal of comparing behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy with each other, with control groups, with waiting list groups, and with combination therapy.
