Management and Treatment of ADHD?
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that is commonly found in school age children and adolescents. Since there is no cure for ADHD, the condition is found in many adults also. Mental health experts estimate that from 3% to 10% of school age children have ADHD. Symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Inattentiveness is characterized by distractibility, forgetfulness and the appearance of daydreaming. A hyperactive person seems to always be “on the move.” When they remain seated they will be squirming, bouncing or fidgeting. Impulsive behaviors that are seen in children with ADHD are that they may speak out in class or they may not be able to wait for their turn to speak. There are a number of options available for ADHD treatment. A medical care provider should be consulted to help the family come up with the best treatment or combination of treatments for the patient. Medication is often recommended and is effective in alleviating many of the ADHD symptoms. Stimulant medications such as Ritalin, Adderal, Dexedrine or Concerta are the most common prescriptions used for ADHD treatment. These drugs help the patient focus, block out distractions and reduce activity level. Side effects from these medications include trouble sleeping, weight loss, stomach aches and headaches. These side effects are often more pronounced early in the treatment regimen and subside after a short time. There is the possibility that more serious side effects may occur. While infrequent, the physician will advise the family of these. The medication may aggravate depression or anxiety. Stimulant medications also may increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions. Counseling or psychotherapy is another common ADHD treatment method. Children with ADHD are often ridiculed by their peers because of their odd behaviors, resulting in low self-esteem. This treatment will help them cope with their feelings and will give them tactics for making friends and dealing with the effects of ADHD. ADHD children often lack social skills and may respond well to behavior therapy or social skills training. This ADHD treatment will help the child change their habits and their frame of mind.
