Before treating a child with ADHD, it is important to understand all your options. This is because certain approaches work better for certain kids. In this article, you'll learn about the available treatment options and how to choose the best one for your child.
There are three methods of treating ADHD. The first is with prescription drugs. While drugs do work well for some kids, they don't work at all for others. In fact, they can make children's symptoms much worse. There are drugs that are stimulants, like Ritalin, and drugs that are non-stimulating. No matter the drug, it's important to understand that they all have side effects. Some kids are just more sensitive to prescription medications than others. The most important thing you need to know about drugs is that they do not cure Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, instead, they just mask the symptoms. For some children, this is enough to get them on track.
The second way of treating a child with ADHD is to put your child in behavioral therapy. With this method, a therapist teaches your child how to focus, sit still and behave appropriately for longer periods of time. This works best for kids who have a mild form of ADHD or for kids whose parents want to help them develop skills in addition to taking natural or prescription medications. Keep in mind that it does take some time to learn these skills, but they are techniques that will continue to serve your child.
