Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children
ADHD is a behavior disorder marked by inattention, impulsivity, and, in some cases, hyperactivity.
Medications to Treat ADHD in Children
Children who have ADHD are often given medication as part of their treatment plan. The type of medication most often chosen is a psychostimulant.
Understanding Ritalin Abuse
When taken as prescribed, Ritalin is a valuable medicine. People with ADHD do not become addicted to stimulant medications when taken in the form prescribed and at treatment dosages.
