Additionally, compensatory and management strategies that can be implemented to support those with this disorder are discussed. The importance of a multimodal and personalized approach that adapts to the individual's changing needs throughout their lifespan, thus ensuring effective intervention, is highlighted. Conclusions: future perspectives for ADHD research focus on precision medicine and the influence of technology, as well as the need for a deeper understanding of its heterogeneity and comorbidities. A comprehensive approach tailored to each individual not only improves quality of life but also promotes a more complete understanding of ADHD as a complex and multifaceted disorder.
