Treatment of the disorder varies according to age. Behavioural therapy is mainly recommended for cases aged 4-5 years. If no results are obtained or if symptoms persist, medication may be added. The use of medical treatment, particularly in childhood, is viewed with suspicion by families because of some undesirable side effects and the risk of addiction and abuse. In this article, we would like to discuss some medicinal plants that are used in ADHD patients without or in addition to medical treatment, and their safety and efficacy.}, number={1}, publisher={Inonu University}
