Diagnosis and Treatment
ADHD Help
 When it comes to ADHD help, you typically have two options – pharmacological and non-pharmacological. For pharmaceutical drugs, the most commonly prescribed include Ritalin, Straterra, Concerta, Adderall, and Dexedrine. Depending on the degree of the disorder, you or your child’s doctor would recommend a specific dosage, to be taken daily. Some drugs are short lasting and some long lasting, but both with advantages and a few side effects to consider.
Diagnosis and Treatment
ADHD Pediatrician
When it comes to children, parents spare no expense. If you have a child and believe he or she has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), then one of the most important things you can do for your child and for you is to find a good, ADHD pediatrician. Many times, teachers are the ones that first notice signs of ADHD simply because they are not as close to the situation.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Teen Girls with ADHD
Considering that as many as 5% of all school age children have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with the majority being boys, that is where the majority of attention was focused for years. However, today we are seeing larger numbers of teen girls with ADHD, which has prompted researchers and doctors to begin new studies. Teen girls are going through many changes, both physically and mentally. The teenage years are tough, often resulting in the girl trying to discover herself, her values, and goals, and trying to find out where she fits in. As you can imagine, when you add in boys and gaps with parents, the teenage years become even more challenging.
