What is ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children.
ADHD is considered a chronic and debilitating disorder and is known to impact the individual in many aspects of their life including academic and professional achievements, interpersonal relationships, and daily functioning. ADHD can lead to poor self-esteem and social function in children when not appropriately treated. Adults with ADHD may experience poor self-worth, sensitivity towards criticism, and increased self-criticism possibly stemming from higher levels of criticism throughout life.
Symptoms of ADHD include
Inattention: not being able to keep focus
Hyperactivity: excess movement that is not fitting to the setting
Impulsivity: hasty acts that occur in the moment without thought

How ADD/ADHD Treated?
ADHD Treatment options can include medicine, therapy, learning more about ADHD, and getting family support.
ADD/ADHD is recognized as one of the most treatable conditions. As the majority of individuals dealing with ADD/ADHD are children and adolescents, there are multiple treatments that can be utilized. These therapies are often prioritized before medication is prescribed, given the young age of most patients.
Therapy
Like adults, every child has a unique experience with ADD/ADHD. Therefore, there are several psychiatric treatments available for ADD/ADHD that can be implemented, helping all young individuals with this condition to enhance their coping skills.
The following are a few of the most popular therapies used to treat ADD/ADHD:
- Behavioral treatment
- Play therapy
- Support groups for music therapy
- Family counseling
- Psychoeducation
Therapy by itself is frequently insufficient to treat ADD/ADHD in children (or adults). Medication may therefore be recommended to help alleviate symptoms. Contact us At One Stop Psychiatry for individualized treatment plans for ADHD.

To Answer your questions
How do i know if i have ADHD?
Many people with ADHD have difficulty paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the consequence will be), and are overly active. These symptoms can interfere with school, work, and personal relationships.
While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing ADHD, there are some general strategies that can help. If you or someone you know has ADHD, here are some tips to help manage the symptoms and live a happier life:
- Be aware of your symptoms and how they might be impacting your life. This can help you to better understand your triggers and find ways to cope with them.
- Seek professional help if you feel like your symptoms are impacting your life in a negative way. A professional can diagnose ADHD and provide you with treatment options.
- Follow a routine as much as possible. This can help to structure your day and make it easier to focus on tasks.
- Find an activity that helps you to focus and stick with it. This could be something like meditation, yoga, or exercise.
- Avoid distractions as much as possible when trying to focus on a task. This might mean turning off the TV or putting away
What type of ADHD treatments do you provide?
If you have ADHD, you may feel like you’re constantly on the go and can’t sit still. But there are ways to manage the symptoms and live a happier life. One way is behavioral therapy.
Behavioral therapy can help you learn how to better control your impulses and emotions. It can also teach you how to stay organized and plan ahead. And it can help you develop coping skills for dealing with stress and anxiety.
Medication is another method to manage the symptoms of ADHD.
If you have been diagnosed with ADHD, your doctor may have recommended medication to help manage your symptoms. There are a variety of different medications that can be effective in ADHD treatment, so it is important to work with your doctor to find the one that is best for you.
Stimulant medications are often the first choice for ADHD treatment, as they can help to improve focus and concentration.

In addition to medication, there are other treatments that can be helpful in managing ADHD symptoms. These include behavioral therapy, educational interventions, and support groups.
