Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD
“What is ADHD? "
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It can impact children in different ways, but with the right support, they can thrive at home, school, and beyond.
"What are the main symptoms of ADHD in children? "
Common symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are more frequent or severe than typically observed in children of the same age. These behaviours can affect learning, relationships, and daily routines.
"How is ADHD diagnosed?"
ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, which may include interviews, questionnaires, and behavioural observations. Diagnosis often involves input from parents, teachers, and sometimes the child themselves.
"What causes ADHD?"
ADHD is believed to result from a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. There is no single known cause, and it is not the result of poor parenting or diet.
"What is the difference between ADD and ADHD?"
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is an older term that referred to attention difficulties without hyperactivity. Today, all types are classified as ADHD, with different presentations based on symptoms.
"Can children outgrow ADHD?"
Some children may experience fewer symptoms as they grow older, but many continue to face challenges into adolescence and adulthood. Early support and understanding can make a significant difference in long-term outcomes.
"What treatments and support are available for ADHD? "
Treatment options include behavioural therapy, parent training, educational support, and sometimes medication, tailored to each child’s needs. A combination of strategies often works best for families and schools.
"Can ADHD be managed without medication?"
Yes, many children benefit from behavioural strategies, structured routines, and environmental adjustments, sometimes alongside or instead of medication. It’s important to work with professionals to find the right approach for your child.
"How can I support my child with ADHD at home?"
Establishing clear routines, using positive reinforcement, and breaking tasks into manageable steps can help children with ADHD succeed. Open communication and patience are key to building confidence and connection.
