Our services include comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans, incorporating behavioral therapy, counseling, and medication to effectively manage ADHD symptoms and enhance focus.
Procedure
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. At SkinSense, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing ADHD. We conducts a thorough assessment, including clinical evaluation and potentially psychological testing, to better understand your symptoms and challenges. Treatment options often include a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and medication, all tailored to suit your individual needs. Medication may include stimulants or non-stimulants, both of which are proven to help improve focus and manage hyperactivity.
