Can Children with ADHD Outgrow It?

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

A reader from our newsletter asked this question.

The currently held belief is that one-third of children with ADHD become significantly better when they grow up (or after puberty), one-third become somewhat better, and one-third don’t improve much at all.  However, 90% of these children eventually take themselves off of their medication whether they need it or not.

It is important to be aware of the fact that the diagnosis for a child with ADHD was based upon young boys.  Therefore it is possible that, as people age, the predominant symptoms change and they no longer meet the diagnostic criteria even though they still have imparent caused by ADHD.

Video ADHD Seminar for Parents and Children

Friday, November 28th, 2008
This video seminar was Saturday, December 13th. Sign up for our email newsletter now to receive updates on future ADHD seminars from Dr. Sam Caron!

I am looking forward to my first video ADHD seminar.

You can learn about ADHD without even having to leave your own home.  This seminar is specially designed for parents who have just found out that their child has ADHD.  I will discuss how ADHD is diagnosed, the causes of ADHD, and parents’ responses to learning that their child has been diagnosed.  Frequently parents don’t feel that they have the opportunity to ask questions when they visit the doctor.  After all, doctors are busy and often don’t appear to have much time to spend with the parents.

If you are anything like me, I always remember my best questions after I leave the doctor’s office. Please email me your questions when you think of them.  When you sign up for my email newsletter, you can reply to them and I will get your emails.   The questions will either be answered live, or, for those questions I am unable to answer during the seminar, I will email the questions and answers to everybody who attends.  There will also be a comprehensive discussion guide and a chance for you to win a free magic trick grab-bag for your child.  The Puppet Dr. C., Mr. Splinter, and Mrs. Splinter (Elwood’s parents)  will all participate.  I hope that you will be able to attend my first video teleconference. I guarantee that my seminar will be a unique, enjoyable way to learn about ADHD.
