ADHD or attention deficit hyper activity disorder is a common childhood disorder characterized by three core symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. Often, children with ADHD are misunderstood because of their behavior. Teachers might think that they are troublemakers while peers might say that they are bullies (especially in predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type of attention deficit hyper activity disorder).

A wide range of treatment options for attention deficit hyper disorder are available to choose from. These treatments focus on controlling ADHD symptoms and improving personal and social functioning.

Psychotherapy treatments for ADHD include behavioral therapy, family therapy, and social skills training, among others. Dietary modification and vitamin supplementation are also options worth considering, given its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Yoga is also said to aid in gaining balance and focus, reducing ADHD symptoms noticeably.

In terms of medical management, stimulants are commonly given to control attention deficit hyper activity disorder symptoms. These are given to help the patient focus, thereby increasing ability to learn and work. Examples of stimulants commonly used in the treatment of ADHD include Ritalin, Concerta, and Adderall

A major concern, however, in the use of stimulant drugs for the treatment of ADHD is the potentially dangerous side effects it causes, ranging from mild to life-threatening. Common side effects are restlessness, anxiety, weight loss, anorexia, sleep pattern disturbance, and growth retardation. Some of the detrimental side effects include heart-related problems, interference with normal brain development, and possibility for abuse and addiction.
