Will my child grow out of ADD/ADHD?

Will my child grow out of ADD/ADHD?

Many children with ADD/ADHD experience a general diminishing of some of their symptoms as they approach adulthood. Symptoms from childhood shift as children become teens.  Symptoms shift again as teens become adults.

Approximately 50-60% of children with ADHD will still meet the full criteria for ADHD as adults and will continue to have significant problems with distractability and impulsivity in their academic, occupational, or social life. The majority of children with ADHD will grow into adults with ADHD.

With proper treatment children with ADD/ADHD can experience what is known as ADD/ADHD in partial remission. Also children who receive proper treatment will develop critical life skills that they may otherwise not learn.

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?

Most medical doctors who treat ADD/ADHD do so as part of a larger practice. ADHD Specialists focuses primarily on only treating ADD and related conditions. This intense focus allows us to continually sharpen our clinical skills, attend specialized training, utilize the latest therapies, and build our process to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Often medical, testing and counseling services are all separately owned and located practices. It just does not make sense to have to travel from one location to another to treat the same condition. Besides the issue of time and travel, how cohesive and effective is care being delivered in multiple locations by multiple, unrelated providers who don’t have time to talk to each other?
