Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can interfere with your child's education, making it difficult for them to focus. They may have difficulty turning in assignments on time. Not to mention, it can hinder your relationship with them and so much more. Dr. Maged Farid, Dr. Ramagavri Rawal, Dr. Mihai Radu, and Dr. Enas Iskander of Florida Pediatric Group, serving Melbourne & West Melbourne, FL, can diagnose it and provide you with treatment options.
Before you bring your child to our practice, serving Melbourne & West Melbourne, FL, it helps to know the signs to understand if it could be ADHD. Boys with this condition tend to be hyperactive more often than girls, seeming to have difficulty sitting still. Both girls and boys may have trouble completing tasks that require focus. They may only be able to channel in for a short length of time.
Other signs include the following:
When you bring your child in, we'll ask you a series of questions you'll need to fill out. If your child has a number of those issues, it could be ADHD. We'll further the examination by verbally asking you other questions.
The first line of defense when it comes to treatment is behavioral therapy. We'll give you useful tips that can help you contend with the problems you're having with your child. These can assist in curbing the behaviors and making it easier for your child to focus.
We encourage parents, though they may be frustrated at times, to remain calm during interactions with their children. When you aren't calm, you can actually make matters worse.
Though we don't recommend it as a first-line treatment, medicine sometimes is the only option that'll ease the symptoms in your child and help them focus, especially for school. The medication your child will receive is a stimulant. Though they're referred to as stimulants, in a child with ADHD, they don't provide stimulation. Instead, they stimulate the brain to increase the neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, which can calm your child and make it easier for them to focus.
If you're on the fence about medication for ADHD, we can provide you with adequate information regarding safety and efficiency to assist you in deciding if the treatment is right for your little one.
