ADHD in Children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders. Children with ADHD experience difficulties functioning in various environments, including home, school, and interpersonal relationships with peers.
Without proper diagnosis and treatment, ADHD may negatively affect a child's life and functioning.
ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders affecting between 5-10% of school-age children. ADHD symptoms fall into 3 basic subtypes: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and a combination of both.
These symptoms are persistent and occur more frequently in children with ADHD than other children their age.
Children with ADHD face difficult, but not insurmountable challenges.
In order to realize their full potential, children with ADHD need help, guidance, and understanding - from their parents, the educational system, and counselors.
If you think your child has ADHD, take the ADHD symptom screener that could point you in the right direction for more advanced testing and treatment seeking.
With diagnosis comes an understanding of the difficulties faced by your child, and an effective way to cope with and treat his or her symptoms.
