    Diagnosing ADHD

    When you notice symptoms of ADHD in your child, the first thing you should do is consult a healthcare professional. At MAVA Behavioral Health, our medical professionals will diagnose ADHD in your child by asking a few questions and examining some symptoms. 

    Similarly, children under the age of four cannot be diagnosed because they mature quickly and exhibit active or inactive behavior at this age. Many children suffer from anxiety or depression in parallel, which means they cannot be diagnosed at a young age.

    Nonetheless, there is no specific ADHD test for teens that can be used to diagnose the disorder. To make a diagnosis, our ADHD psychiatrists take a few steps and gather a lot of information from the child during a formal evaluation and assessment period. Following that, they may be able to recommend the best option possible.

    Diagnosing ADHD

    Our Treatment Method

    Our goal for ADHD treatment is to improve your child’s symptoms so they can function better at home and school. For younger children (ages 4 and 5). Therefore, we recommend starting with parent interventions before considering medication. We aim to create a supportive environment for the children through effective discussion with the parents. You can access our online ADHD diagnosis and prescription services for your child’s mental health.

    Medication Management

    Medication is useful for people facing the issue of ADHD to manage their signs and symptoms. Sometimes, these are the adequate options for you to tackle your challenge in a very calm and peaceful way. Therefore, a variety of medicines are used to treat and manage ADHD for the child above six years old.

    • Our healthcare providers use stimulants as the most common ADHD medication during treatment. When children with ADHD take these medications, their ADHD symptoms improve by 70% to 80%.
    • Our ADHD psychiatrist may recommend nonstimulants after assessing your child’s current condition. Nonstimulants work slower than stimulants and have a smaller impact, but their effects can last up to 24 hours. If stimulants aren’t working for your child, an ADHD psychiatrist may recommend adding a non-stimulant.
    • Antidepressants are now commonly used to treat ADHD. Medical professionals sometimes prescribe them alone or in conjunction with another ADHD medication.
    • You can use our telehealth services to easily access ADHD medication online. It’s a convenient and accessible way to receive the treatment you need for ADHD from the comfort of your own home.

    All of my children see Ms. Rida and I have to say we couldn't be happier. My youngest child has a lot of mental health issues and can become extremely violent but, with Ms. Rida's help we have been able to get him stable. All of my children absolutely love her. I would recommend Mava Health to anyone needing help and definitely Ms. Rida.
