What is ADHD in Children?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to focus, sit still, and control impulses. It's not just “being naughty” or “overactive.”

Children with ADHD may:

• Get easily distracted or forgetful
• Struggle to sit through classes or complete tasks
• Act without thinking or interrupt frequently
• Seem restless or constantly "on the go"

Why it matters:

Without early support, ADHD can impact academic success, self-esteem, and relationships—but with the right help, children can thrive.

At CAMHANS, we offer:

• Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations
• Parent and teacher guidance
• Behavior therapy and skill-building plans
• Medication support (if clinically indicated)
