Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diagnosing ADHD can be difficult as there are no definitive medical tests for it. It involves evaluating the child's behavior and comparing it to the criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Some physical exams and tests may be done to rule out other medical conditions, but ADHD is primarily diagnosed based on behavioral observations and reports from caregivers and teachers. Socioeconomic status (i.e. upper-class family) is not a factor in the accuracy of ADHD diagnosis.
