Diagnosis for ADHD
Diagnosis for ADHD is an important step in
understanding and treating this
neurodevelopmental disorder. ADHD, or
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is
commonly diagnosed in childhood and can persist
into adulthood. To accurately diagnose ADHD,
healthcare professionals often use a combination
of methods, including interviews, observations,

How do ADHD Medications Work?
ADHD medications are a key part of treatment for
individuals diagnosed with ADHD. These
medications are designed to help manage the
symptoms of the disorder, which include
difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and
hyperactivity. The most commonly prescribed class
of medications for ADHD are stimulants, such as
methylphenidate and amphetamines. These
medications work by increasing the levels of
certain neurotransmitters in the brain,
specifically dopamine and norepinephrine.
