This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—a safe, noninvasive technique that gently stimulates specific brain areas—with dialectical behavior therapy skills training can help adults with ADHD. The study focuses on people who have not had good results with medication or have experienced side effects. Both groups will receive therapy skills training over 10 weeks, but one group will receive active brain stimulation while the other receives a placebo stimulation.
While medication is the standard treatment for ADHD in adults, some people do not respond well to it or experience unwanted side effects. Researchers believe that combining brain stimulation with therapy skills might enhance treatment outcomes for these individuals, but this combination has not been thoroughly tested in rigorous scientific studies.

If you are enrolled, you will come in weekly for 10 weeks to receive both the brain stimulation (or placebo) and skills training sessions. During each visit, you will receive about 20 minutes of the brain stimulation while seated comfortably, followed by therapy skills training. The researchers will also ask you to complete questionnaires and possibly brain imaging scans to measure how the treatment affects your attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
