Coping With ADHD

Dear Parent: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is becoming one of the most diagnosed disorders among children and even adults these days. Many years ago‚ the acronym ADHD was virtually unheard of. When you get the word that you or your child has ADHD‚ you might feel overwhelmed wondering where you can turn for information on how to deal with this new thing in your life. We can understand! That's exactly why this might be the MOST IMPORTANT letter you've ever read. There have been as many as 750‚000 children in America diagnosed with ADHD. Some say the actual number is much‚ much higher. Adults who are being diagnosed have probably been suffering with the disorder for years without being able to put a "finger" on what exactly has made them act the way they do. With an ADHD child or adult‚ the first thing to do is to gather as much information as you possibly can. It's imperative that you understand what ADHD is‚ what the symptoms are‚ and how to deal with those symptoms.
