Can medication alone work 100%on the behavior on a person with this condition? Or therapy & coaching are esential for the meds. to be succesfull. Is the adhd trait still show after taking the meds.?

No medication fixes it all...If this is a new diagnosis then it would be VERY beneficial for this individual and close family members to ALL get counseling(it is rare that only ONE family member has ADD in any of it's many forms)...or if there has never been any counseling...a life of dealing with this w/o meds and then getting meds...well, think about it. You have all the coping mechanisms in place(whether good or bad) and now you have to develope new ones as do the family and friends of the individual...no one likes for things to change we all want what we recognize even if it is not that good so it is only natural for everyone to resist to varying degrees...good luck...

I am an adult with attention deficit disorder. I grew up thinking I was not smart because at the end of the class I had learned nothing and had no work done. Everyone else's movements got my attention and I "day dreamed" a lot.
I have taken meds. for a while and although my AD is better, I have learned little tricks to pay attention better when I am in a meeting or seminar. I set up front, on the first row, if possible. I doodle and listen. Looking up distracts me, so I rarely look up.
So to answer your question, therapy and coaching along with meds help me, but I still have problems.

OK, Before you get the wrong idea, I AM STRICTLY AGAINS SCIENTOLOGY, But recently attended a museum in LA that kind of touched certain points...... Depending on the severity of the ADHD, each case is different. I would suggest (and this is purely a suggestion) that you see how the coaching and therapy work without Medication, and then see where it goes. Those drugs are really harmful and are right up there with more known drugs such as Cocaine, so maybe non medicated alternatives should be thought about before jumping the gun......

Meds help in calming the hyperactivity so that the person can then learn knew responces so the answer is therapy also along with meds.

hi, I even have extreme person ADHD, and issues do happen so lots greater many times than as quickly as each week. it quite is actual that various the behavdiour isn't under his administration, yet he can do issues to make existence greater tolerable for those around him. drugs is the super key. ADHD is a mediccal subject and itt calls for scientific therapy. He won't have the skill to opt for to no longer be agressive butr he can opt for too takle drugs to regulate it. you need to be in strengthen with him. His behaviour is unfavourable the kin and if he isnt arranged to take drugs to assist reasonable his behaviour then his kin should not be arranged to consistently post with the abuse. If he cares as lots approximately his kin as they seem to care approximately him then he will evaluate drugs. If he's already on medicatio then it ought to be relooked at to confirm it quite is beneficial sufficient. on the circumstances the place he states he doesnt have any administration he needs to get rid of himself from his important different and infants as a fashion to no longer injury them He won't have the skill to try this wherein case you need to get rid of your self. If he gets indignant in simple terms state which you will return quickly whilst issues are calmer and you may talk this added. in case you state which you will return quickly and stay opeen to him it is going to calm him.

Both really seem to be more appropriate.
Just rely on you inner feelings, and use good judgment.
Trust a good friend to keep you in check, and keep sharing.
good luck
