ARLINGTON, VA, September 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has launched a new, interactive, online resource center to support children and adults living with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
ADHD is a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. It affects 9 percent of children ages 3-17 and is the most commonly diagnosed behavior disorder in young people.
But ADHD is not a disorder limited to children--ADHD often persists into adolescence and adulthood and is frequently not diagnosed until later years. Treatment requires a "multimodal' approach involving medical, educational, behavioral and psychological methods.
"ADHD is a condition that can impact every aspect of a person's life, including relationships, school and work," said Mike Fitzpatrick, NAMI executive director. "The earlier an individual receives treatment for ADHD, the better the outcome."
"NAMI's ADHD Resource Center tools can both help individuals manage their own illness and educate parents, caregivers, school professionals and others about the needs of children living with the condition."
Website visitors can:
- Learn about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options
- Get tips on managing ADHD at home, school and work
- Watch a "Fireside Chat" video series of leading psychiatrists discussing the condition
- Read personal stories about living with and managing ADHD
- Keep up with current ADHD research
