Core Tip
Core Tip: This study evaluated the effect of non-pharmacological treatments on the full recovery of social functioning in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A total of 90 patients with ADHD were included in this study. The non-pharmacological intervention resulted in significantly higher patient compliance than the pharmacological treatment group. Patients in the non-pharmacological intervention group also had significantly higher Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale scores on family, daily living skills and self-concept than those receiving medication. Thus, non-pharmacological interventions had a positive impact on the overall recovery of social functioning in ADHD patients compared to long-term pharmacological treatment.
