ADHD

If you know or suspect your child has ADHD, do not panic. ADHD, short for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, is on the rise amongst kids, tweens, teens and even adults throughout Baytown and beyond. Previously referred to as attention deficit disorder, ADHD affects youngsters as well as adults. In particular, ADHD is especially common in men. If you or a loved one are struggling to pay attention at school, work or elsewhere, it is in your interest to ask for help from our doctor, Shannon Kluppel MD. We will determine the best treatment modality for your ADHD based on your unique symptoms, medical history, allergies and other relevant factors.

Examples of common treatment modalities to treat ADHD include medication, lifestyle alterations and therapy. In particular, plenty of Baytown kids and adults rave about psychostimulant ADHD medication. Such medications include dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate that calm ADHD sufferers to the point that they are empowered to focus on the task-at-hand with clarity that would otherwise not be possible. Our treatment modalities for ADHD will also help to reduce your or your loved one’s overactive and impulsive actions.
