What Is ADHD?

ADHD stands for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It’s a mental health condition that affects how someone pays attention, controls impulses, and stays still. Some teens have more problems with attention. Others may be more hyperactive or impulsive. Many teens have a mix of both. Doctors often call these types:

  • Inattentive type
  • Impulsive type
  • Combined type

Teens with ADHD may:

  • Make careless mistakes in school
  • Forget homework or chores
  • Interrupt during conversations
  • Struggle with sitting still
  • Act without thinking (called impulsive behavior)

 

ADHD isn’t anyone’s fault. It’s not about laziness or poor parenting. It’s a medical condition that needs support and care.

Why Teens Need ADHD Treatment

Without treatment, ADHD can make life harder. Teens might struggle in school days, face disruptive behaviors, or feel left out in social skills. They may also:

  • Get into risky or unsafe situations
  • Have trouble with daily functioning
  • Show signs of impulsive symptoms or inattentive symptoms
  • Take part in risky behavior like alcohol abuse or drug abuse

 

ADHD treatment for teens helps improve focus, reduce stress, and boost self-esteem. It can also improve academic performance, daily activities, and quality of life.

Behavior Therapy and ADHD

Behavioral therapies are a key part of ADHD treatment. Our therapists teach teens how to:

  • Build strong executive skills
  • Improve attention span
  • Control impulsive behavior
  • Make better choices

 

We also help teens learn positive behaviors and reduce disruptive behaviors at school and home. Training in behavior management also helps parents set clear family rules and build better communication.

What Makes Our Online ADHD Treatment Special?

We focus only on teens. Our team understands the difference in children versus adults when it comes to ADHD. We stay updated with science from sources like:

  • Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
  • Child Psychology and Psychiatry
  • Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology
  • Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Brain Research
  • ADHDEuropean Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

 

Our approach includes comprehensive reviews and uses findings from comparative efficacy studies. That means your teen gets care that works.

ADHD may happen alongside other mental disorders, such as:

We look at the full picture of your teen’s health. Our team creates a combination of medication and therapy that supports every area of life.

Healthy Living with ADHD
