What is ADHD

ADHD is the acronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It refers to a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children and adults, characterized by persistent patterns of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. If not managed well, ADHD can impact daily life, academic performance, work, and relationships.

Causes and Risk Factors of ADHD

The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood by medical science, but research suggests a contribution of different factors.

Family history and genetic makeup are known to cause ADHD.
Prenatal exposure to alcohol, drugs, or tobacco during pregnancy elevates the risk of children developing ADHD.
Premature birth with abnormal weight or even head injuries in early stages may also lead to the development of ADHD in later stages of life.
Some environmental factors, such as exposure to heavy metals like lead or an extremely stressful environment, may also contribute to symptoms of ADHD.

Signs and Symptoms of ADHD

The signs and symptoms of ADHD are divided into three broad categories:

Symptoms Indicating Inattentiveness

Failing to pay attention to details
Failing to follow through in lectures or long conversations

Fails to keep track of daily tasks, such as chores or running errands
Failing to follow instructions in schoolwork or job duties

Symptoms Indicating Hyperactivity

Not being able to sit quietly in one place

Diagnosis of ADHD

A comprehensive evaluation is required for diagnosing ADHD, which is often conducted by specialized and experienced doctors, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, or pediatricians.
Usually, clinical interviews are conducted to gather information from parents and teachers to understand the child’s symptoms and behaviors. Behavioral tests with standardized ADHD rating scales are also used to measure the severity of symptoms.
Other psychological and developmental tests to assess cognitive function and learning disabilities in the patient are also used by doctors to diagnose ADHD.

At SGVP Holistic Hospital, a team of experienced doctors is always available to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in Ahmedabad.

Treatment Options for ADHD

As ADHD does not have a specific cause, a combination of different approaches is used in treating it. These include:

The use of stimulant medications that help in improving focus and control among patients with ADHD.
Different behavioral techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and social skills groups, are used as strategies to manage symptoms of inattentiveness and hyperactivity. They also help in developing social skills as children interact with peers.
It is absolutely important to train parents or guardians on managing their kids with ADHD, as they are the primary caregivers.

As one of the top hospitals for ADHD treatment in Ahmedabad, SGVP Holistic Hospital ensures comprehensive treatment plans and delivers the best possible care for patients.

Prevention of ADHD

While ADHD cannot always be prevented, certain steps may reduce the risk or severity of symptoms:

Prenatal care is absolutely important. The use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs must be strictly avoided during pregnancy.
Ensuring a structured and supportive environment for your child is crucial.
Early identification and intervention of developmental concerns can help minimize long-term effects.
