Psychological interventions yielded better outcomes in adult patients with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when they were combined with methylphenidate as opposed to placebo, a study comparing four treatment conditions has found. The study also found that an easily implemented individual clinical management intervention fared no worse than a more structured group psychotherapy protocol.
