If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD you have started the process for getting him or her help they need.
A specialist will help you and your child decide what the next step will be.
There are various ways to treat the symptoms of ADHD and give the child a more normal life.
Medication is the most common form of treating ADHD.
The U.
S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved Adderall, Dexedrine, Focalin, Metadate, Ritalin, Strattera and Concerta for aiding in suppressing symptoms.
The Doctor will decide based on the child's behavior which medication would be best for him or her to take.
Stimulants are one of the various types of medications prescribed for children with ADHD.
Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, Metadate, Focalin, and Concerta are all the types of stimulants available.
Strattera is another common medication prescribed, but it is different in that it is not a stimulant, nor does it work like one.
It concentrates on the brain chemicals to lessen the symptoms of ADHD.
Antidepressants can also be used to combat the symptoms of ADHD.
Hyperactivity and impulsivity can also be treated with antihypertensive medications.
It should be known that such medications often will not fully change the child.
ADHD symptoms will be lessened by the medicine, but not fully erased.
Not everyone chooses this form of treatment because the child can have side effects.
Counseling is another common option for treating ADHD.
Not only is it beneficial for the child, but also their family.
This is because they can learn about the disorder and understand why the child does the things they do.
Counseling can lessen the symptoms of ADHD without taking medications which is why many people prefer this for their loved one.
Counseling for ADHD comes in many different forms.
Parents can go through training in behavioral therapy which will give them the tools they need to keep the child on the right path.
This means guiding the child away from bad behaviors and towards the good behaviors.
Positive reinforcement is an important tool for parents to learn.
Parents can also go through guidance lessons that help teach them how to handle their child's behaviors and talk about concerns they have and how to find suitable solutions.
Discussing with your child's Doctor what he or she recommends for treating your child is important.
They are knowledgeable on various treatments and can determine what your child would most benefit from.
Doing so should ease your child of the symptoms of the disorder and make life easier for everyone.
