Summary ADHD Treatment Is a Crowded Space ADHD is a common disorder impacting approximately 11% of children, 8.7% of adolescents, and 4.4% of adults, according to the NIMH . For background on the disorder, I recommend reading the following articles on Seeking Alpha: There are currently approximately 32 ADHD medications currently being used on the market (counting brands that have a generic one time only). Of these, 13 are methylphenidate stimulants, 11 are amphetamine stimulants, 1 is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, 5 are alpha agonists, 1 is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and 1 has a mixed mechanism of action (counting common off label medications with good levels of evidence). 27 of these are approved for ADHD and the other 5 are medications with significant positive research in ADHD or alternate delivery forms of currently approved ADHD medications. These are summarized in the table below: Brand Name Generic Name
