Non-drug approaches for managing ADHD include behavioral therapy, cognitive training, school-based interventions, dietary management, mindfulness practices, and physical activity. These methods can be effective in reducing ADHD symptoms and improving academic and social outcomes. However, the evidence varies, and more rigorous research is needed to establish the most effective non-pharmacological treatments for different populations and settings.
