How is ADHD Diagnosed?

So, I want to start this article off by stating that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be very hard and tricky to diagnose.  Diagnosing ADHD is even harder in children, most kids growing up will act impulsively, and become distracted or even have trouble focusing at times, but that doesn't mean they have ADHD. So, than how does the doctor diagnosis ADHD in children?

One of the first steps in diagnosing ADHD in your child starts at home with knowing the signs and symptoms of ADHD and seeing those symptoms in your child. Now, you have have to remember that all children will act impulsively from time to time and may get distracted or not pay attention. It's when your child can't control their own behaviors and attention where you may be concerned that he/she may have ADHD of some type.
