ADHD Tests For Kids

30Views

An estimated 129 million children worldwide have ADHD, a condition characterized by hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. While there is no single official ADHD test for kids, your doctor can carry out tests to determine if your child has ADHD. You can even find various tests and quizzes online that you can do yourself, often taking just a few minutes. However, for a more accurate diagnosis, it’s advisable to consult your doctor. A truly accurate diagnosis takes some time and uses information from different sources. The good news is that it’s fairly easy to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Adderall and similar medication can help to fight the effects of ADHD, and can be used in an immediate release form, or as a long acting drug. Other types of treatment and coping solutions include training to improve social skills and eliminate compulsive or disruptive behavior.
