Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

ADHD

Prevalent in both adults and children, ADHD is one of the most highly diagnosed cognitive disabilities. Over 3 million cases are treated each year and that number has grown 42% over 8 years. Stimulant compounds such as methylphenidate and amphetamine or their variants are the most frequently prescribed treatments. However, treatment with stimulant compounds is associated with a number of side effects. At Avekshan, we are striving to offer a safe alternative to the classic stimulant medications so that patients can have more and better options to preserve a healthy lifestyle.

Stimulant Medication

The medication used to treat most ADHD patients, and has a number of side-effects including potential for addiction.

Medication

It is estimated that up to 32% of patients prescribed ADHD stimulant medication do not fully comply with the prescription regimen beyond 4-6 weeks.

Untreated ADHD

Not treating ADHD properly can cause a series of debilitating effects in academic, social, emotional and personal lives. Untreated ADHD increases the risk for cigarette and other drug addictions and may increase the risk for anti-social (including criminal) behaviors.
