Dr. Sricharan Moturi, MD, is one of the very few child and adolescent psychiatrists in the United States qualified in Pediatrics. All children and young people go through phases of development that can cause them to find it difficult to sit still, pay attention, or interact with others. When this behavior persists or begins to affect their ability to function in daily life, it may be a symptom of a mental health condition.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition in which is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in young people. An estimated 8.8 percent of children aged 4 to 17 have ADHD. While ADHD is usually diagnosed in childhood, it does not only affect children. An estimated 4.4 percent of adults aged 18-44 have ADHD.
Research shows that early intervention and treatment may help reduce the impact. At Saber Psychiatry, we believe in the conservative use of medicine and take a holistic, client-centered approach to psychiatric care and treatment.
