CAUSES OF ADHD

Children go through phases where they seem agitated, unsettled or inattentive. This is understandably normal and does not mean they definitely have ADHD.

DIAGNOSING ADHD

ADHD diagnosis can be difficult to establish. Hence, it is fundamental for medical professionals to be the ones who give an informed, definite, and early ADHD diagnosis.

TREATMENT OF ADHD

Those involved in the life of a child or young adult with ADHD struggle along with them in many ways. Parents, teachers and peers at times become frustrated with the ADHD sufferer’s symptoms and behaviors.
