What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder characterized by symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention. ADHD can also result in difficulties in maintaining concentration on a certain task or being still for extended durations. ADHD can happen to both kids and adults. It often starts when a person is young and can last into adulthood. It could lead to low self-esteem, social problems, or problems at school or work. ADHD can't be cured, but it can be controlled, and as the child gets older, some symptoms may get better.
ADHD Prevention
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder does not have an exact cause. Some factors that contribute to the development of this disorder include genetics, problems during pregnancy, exposure to environmental toxins during childhood, problems in the development of the central nervous system. It is advisable to consult a specialist for treatment to prevent symptoms from worsening.
ADHD Treatment
Treatment consists of medication, education, psychological therapy, skills training and relationship therapy. This can help improve symptoms but does not completely cure ADHD. It will take some time to determine the combined therapies and treatments that work best for each patient. You are consulting a general practitioner, not a psychologist. We only treat and diagnose mild cases of depression or anxiety. However, we do not offer counseling or treat severe or complex cases. We do not prescribe any drugs to control signs and symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist, psychologists and other mental health experts when you require medication for severe or difficult to control symptoms.
