Title: ADHD: Lifestyle, Dietary Supplementation and Conventional Treatments

Abstract: ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with a variety of cognitive, behavioral and biological components. Unhealthy foods, problematic digital use (smartphone, social media, games) and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to worsening of symptoms. Pharmacological therapies along with talk therapy have been found to be very effective ways of managing ADHD. Furthermore, research on the role of nutritional supplements such as fatty acids, lifestyle interventions such as time management and incorporating physical exercise in daily routines have been found  to be effective adjuvants to conventional treatments and the most effective combination. This is due to their effect on the biological aspects of ADHD that are commonly recognized today such as hormonal differences and higher inflammatory markers in those with ADHD compared to the general public. Future areas of research will be discussed along with technological interventions to manage the disorder.
