Meta-analysis examines efficacy of ADHD treatments in adults

A meta-analysis published in The Lancet Psychiatry compared various pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. The authors found that only stimulants and atomoxetine effectively reduce symptoms after 12 weeks, but warn that the drugs are not well tolerated by everyone, that they found no evidence that they improve quality of life and that their long-term effects are unclear.
