What is ADHD?
or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
is a condition known to many parents and educators. Globally, around 10% of students are estimated to experience its impact, and for some, these symptoms persist into adulthood.
Why is ADHD a Concern?
In Singapore, parents often wonder how to best support their children once an ADHD diagnosis is made. The challenges can manifest differently; some kids struggle with impulsivity and behavioral issues, which can affect their classroom performance. Others may exhibit less noticeable signs, like difficulty focusing, meeting deadlines, or maintaining organization.
Treatment Options
Medication and Beyond
Upon diagnosis, one of the key decisions is whether to pursue medication. ADHD medications enhance neurotransmitter levels associated with memory and attentiveness. When prescribed thoughtfully, they can help alleviate learning and behavioural challenges tied to the condition.
However, these medications may have side effects, including potential impacts on brain structure and addiction. Some studies have even suggested a risk of stunted growth in children. Ongoing research examines the consequences of altered dopamine and related molecules. Given this, doctors recommend a cautious approach to diagnosis. It's vital to work closely with a medical professional to weigh the benefits against your child's struggles in both school and daily life.
