What is the ADHD Medication?

The most commonly prescribed drug are Stimulants. Stimulants last for 4 to 12 hours. It has a calming effect on the individuals with ADHD. It comes in a form of a capsule, skin patch, liquid, or pill.

Although it is the doctors’ immediate choice,  stimulants are not for everyone because some just do not work well with stimulants. Therefore, non-stimulants are prescribed.

Non-stimulant Drugs are occasionally used along with, or as an alternative to stimulants. Patients who take non-stimulants are less sleepless and less agitated.

Antidepressants are also prescribed to the individuals with ADHD who also have a depression, mood disorder, or anxiety

What are the benefits of ADHD Medication?

ADHD medication has helped our clients in many ways, but it cannot cure ADHD. It just helps the patient control the ADHD symptoms. These medications help the patients to stay focused and to take control of their emotion. This is why it is highly recommended that ADHD medication is to be taken while undergoing the therapy.  

For a reason that each person has various needs, medications can work for some, but cannot for others. It highly recommended that a physician is closely monitoring the patient’s medication.

An unmonitored medication is highly risky for the patient.

Parents too undergo a lot of things in dealing with their child with ADHD. It is important for the parents that they set their mind and hearts into helping their child.

We have a carefully structured a programme to help parents manage their child’s behaviour. We will provide strategies and tips to help them manage their child’s behaviour.

During the workshop, it is important that the parents will stay positive, know what they’re doing and most importantly, have them believe in their child.

The parents are just as important as the physicians during their child’s treatment.  This is because over time their child’s response to the treatment changes and it gives us no assurance that the treatment’s benefits will persist.

Well Being

Taking care of our well-being is a must for everyone. One of the ways in taking care of our well-being is in a form of exercise.

Whenever we exercise, our body increases the release of the hormone dopamine. An increase of dopamine can help those who have ADHD to develop their focus and attention span.

It can also help increase the release of endorphins in our body. Endorphins are hormones which are naturally produced by our body, in response to pain. Endorphins are the hormones responsible for giving us a ‘good-feeling’ and euphoria.

What is Mindfulness Meditation?

Mindfulness Meditation is one of the alternative treatments for ADHD. It involves giving attention to your thoughts, feelings and other bodily sensations.

How can Mindfulness help those who have ADHD?

Mindfulness can help the patients to develop their individual skills such as controlling their attention and strengthening their focus.

It also teaches the patients to be aware of their emotional state in order for them to not react impulsively which is oftentimes the problem for those who have ADHD.
