Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is commonly diagnosed in childhood and is characterized by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation, including behavior assessments and input from parents, teachers, and caregivers.
Treatment often combines medication (such as stimulants or non-stimulants) and behavioral therapy to help children focus, organize tasks, and manage their impulses.
Behavioral therapy helps children with ADHD by teaching them strategies to manage their behavior, improve focus, and develop organizational skills. Techniques like positive reinforcement, reward systems, and behavior modification can be highly effective in a structured environment, including home and school.
