Home » Overactive/Impulsive cluster recommendations
- Overactive and impulsive behaviors are common in TSC and should be monitored in all individuals to ensure early detection and treatment
- All individuals with overactive and impulsive behaviors should be considered for a clinical diagnostic assessment for ADHD.
- ADHD in TSC should be treated using the same evidence-based approaches and interventions for the general population, including behavioral supports and pharmacological interventions.
- When someone has moderate to severe ADHD, treatment with methylphenidate or other stimulant medications should be considered.
- Even when ADHD is accompanied with epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism, or other physical or TAND manifestations, ADHD symptoms may respond appropriately to treatment.
- Further research is required to improve the understanding of overactivity, restlessness, and impulsivity in TSC.
