Treatment services for hyperactivity and inattention

ADHD is a condition that is mostly diagnosed among children, but can also be diagnosed in adults who have had the condition but whose symptoms were not diagnosed when they were children. Individuals with ADHD may display signs of hyperactivity, inattention, or a combination of both. Treatment services for ADHD are mostly focused on finding ways to understand the nature of the individual’s condition and giving them guidance in managing their behavior and improving their ability to focus on tasks to finish them.
