Enhancing ADHD Treatment at Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry:

It’s great to see research backing what we already do: We integrate mindfulness, CBT, and chronotherapy alongside medication for comprehensive ADHD care. Embracing non-pharmacologic interventions is key in our approach to all disorders.

Adult ADHD: 6 studies of nonpharmacologic interventions (Santos, MD et al.)

  • Mindfulness awareness practices can help alleviate ADHD symptoms. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can significantly reduce ADHD symptoms.

  • Smartphone-assisted psychoeducation (SAP) led to significant improvements in inattention and impulsivity.

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and CBT combined with medication significantly improved core ADHD symptoms.
