ADHD Treatment

Understanding ADHD Treatment in New Port Richey, FL

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood. The hallmark symptoms associated with ADHD include,

  • Impulsivity
  • Inattentiveness
  • Hyperactivity

A child may show one, two, or all of these classic symptoms. These symptoms can range widely from child to child, which can make it more challenging to determine whether a child has ADHD or not. For example, one child may have trouble sitting still or may become disruptive in class while another child may have trouble paying attention, be forgetful, or not complete school assignments. Both children could have ADHD.

Do you think your child might have ADHD?

Many symptoms associated with ADHD are normal childhood behaviors (e.g. fidgetiness, daydreaming, or being a bit rambunctious), so if these behaviors only happen occasionally then it’s typically not ADHD; however, if these behaviors occur in all settings, such as school, play, and home, and it’s impacting your child’s life and relationships then this is definitely something worth investigating.

When you suspect childhood ADHD it’s important that you have a doctor you can turn to for answers and shed light on this behavioral disorder. Here at Pediatric Specialists Medical Group, we provide diagnostic evaluations for everything from ADHD and learning disabilities to behavioral disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
