Get effective help with ADD or ADHD.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that is characterized by hyperactivity, abrupt behavior, and incorrect levels of negligence. To be diagnosed, you must experience impairment in everyday functioning in at least two settings. For children, this means that symptoms of ADD/ADHD must be active in a child’s home and at school for a period of at least six months.
If you have ADD/ADHD, you may struggle with any of these symptoms:
- Difficulties paying attention
- Frequent daydreams
- Appearing as if you do not listen to others
- Easily distracted from work or from activities
- Forgetfulness on a regular basis
- The inability to stay still or the need for constant motion
Those with ADD/ADHD have parts within their brains that do not connect when they try to complete a task that requires attention. This connectivity problem is known as functional disconnection syndrome, and it is an imbalance in brain communication that can result in developmentally improper behaviors in children.
At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we help patients with ADD/ADHD manage their symptoms and find a way forward. We know that the brain can advance and change throughout time through a process known as neuroplasticity, and this is at the heart of our ADD/ADHD treatment program. This program brings parents and kids together to help improve the child’s focus and attention, which can result in improved personal and academic life.
