ADHD: What To Know
ADHD: What To KnowAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is commonly referred as ADD to many and is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in children here in Atlanta. ADHD may affect up to 10% of the US population and some experts say more than 5 million children in the U.S alone carry this diagnosis. There are many people who fail to understand how big a problem ADHD can be for adults as well. Problems with school, at work, in relationships and self esteem can often persist as a result of this disorder.
But, there is hope. People with focus issues are often simply medicated which means they have to cope with the side effects of the medication. Most sufferers struggle with medication compliance issues as a result of these side effects which means there’s a cycle of life that involves being on and off the medication. For many with ADHD, this pattern of life simply won’t do. At The Martin Clinic, we focus on a more natural approach to addressing ADHD rather than simply using medication. We’re not saying medication isn’t ever helpful, but we know that there are other ways of helping.
