A Closer Look at an ADHD Diagnostic Treatment Center
When you visit us, you'll work with a specialist who can help you identify if your or your child's hyperactivity is a result of ADHD or another medical condition. People who suffer from a hyperactivity disorder often aren't diagnosed until their adults. Unfortunately, a significant percentage of children have ADHD and remain undiagnosed.
What is ADHD?
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), formerly known as attention-deficit disorder (ADD), affects the ability of children and adults to maintain focus, control impulsivity or remain still. Most children who have ADHD can't sit still for long periods, have limited attention spans, or have severe problems functioning at home and school.
Schedule a consultation with us to learn more about ADHD treatment ADD and ADHD evaluation in Plano, TX, if your child is experiencing any of these symptoms for six months or longer.
Other common symptoms in children and adults include:
- Poor time management
- Exaggerated emotions
- Hyperfocus
- Extreme carelessness or continually losing or misplacing items
- Excessive talking or speaking out of turn
- Forgetfulness
Although many children experience some of these symptoms as a normal part of childhood, a child with ADHD often shows a greater degree of hyperactivity lasting six months or more. ADHD symptoms in children and teenagers are normally quite clear, and most of the symptoms in children occur before the age of six.
