There are many treatments for ADHD. These include Medication, Behavior Therapy, Counseling, and Education Services. When treating kids with ADHD develop a "treatment plan" with certain priorities - school challenges, self-esteem, anger management, and relationships. Treating ADHD requires medical, educational, behavioral, and psychological intervention. Symptoms vary from patient to patient. Stimulants are a medication that are very useful in treating ADHD. Stimulants are grouped into two classes; Methulphenidate-based medications and Dextroamphetamine-based medications. Not all types of stimulants will work as well so its important to try stimulants from both classes to find the best fit one. There are 3 types of medication that aren't stimulants that also work.

When giving any medication you have to make sure you are giving your kids the right amount of medication and check in with the doctor to make sure of this.

I chose to do ADHD because I feel its a very common disorder that the affects are looked over. I was drawn to it because I know many people who suffer from ADHD. I learned that ADHD can vary from girls to guys and that there is actual medication to treat it. Before hand, I had thought that it wasn't serious and didn't affect peoples lives. I found it very interesting how as you got older the symptoms changed and it went from more hyper and jumpy to impulsive when making decisions and and build up of restlessness when sitting for prolonged periods of time. I think if I were to do this project again I would try and add more images but I do not regret choosing ADHD as my topic.
