Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common ADHD symptoms to be aware of in children and adults?
Common ADHD symptoms in children include difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, trouble following instructions, and frequent daydreaming. In adults, symptoms often include challenges with time management, forgetfulness, restlessness, difficulty staying focused, and impulsive decision-making.
What can my child and I expect during an adolescent ADHD screening?
During an adolescent ADHD screening, you and your child can expect a thorough evaluation process. This typically includes a detailed discussion about your child’s medical history, behavior, and any symptoms they may be experiencing. Dr. Ozden may also ask about academic performance, social interactions, and family history. Standardized questionnaires or rating scales may be used to gather input from parents, teachers, or caregivers. In some cases, additional assessments or tests might be recommended to rule out other conditions. The goal is to gain a full understanding of your child's challenges to determine if ADHD is present and to guide next steps for support or treatment.
Can Dr. Ozden prescribe medication following a diagnosis?
As a licensed psychiatrist, Dr. Ozden can prescribe medication if it is deemed necessary for mental wellness after a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. However, he also takes into consideration individual needs and preferences when determining the best course of action. Ultimately, the decision to use medication will be made collaboratively between Dr. Ozden, you as the parent or caregiver, and your child if appropriate.
