text: Do you find it hard to pay attention? Do you feel the need to move constantly during times when you shouldn’t? Do you find yourself constantly interrupting others? If these issues are ongoing and you feel that they are negatively impacting your daily life, it could be a sign of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
  Rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have reached epidemic levels in the United States. To properly treat the symptomology associated with ADHD, a comprehensive neurologic and metabolic assessment is warranted. Once these tests are conducted, specific networks of dysfunction can be localized. From this information, a personalized treatment plan be prescribed to help re-integrate dysfunctional connections in the brain.
  A pattern that is consistent with most individuals who suffer from ADHD is a decrease in connectivity and integration in the right hemisphere, specifically the frontal lobe. The first symptom that parents often notice is a change in behavior. Other common presentations of right hemisphere delays are poor body movement and coordination, inappropriate social skills, extremely picky eaters and poor nonverbal communication.
