What Does an Evaluation of ADHD Involved?
A thorough evaluation of ADHD, which is short for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, usually involves examining the affected child’s detailed history as provided by the child’s parents and outsiders (usually the child’s teachers). It often also requires a discussion and observation of the affected child. A trained doctor can accomplish this in a single appointment with all the parties involved. Although the diagnosis will normally be apparent from a child’s history, the doctor most likely will ask you, your child, and his/her teachers to complete appropriate questionaires.
If you are an adult and you suspect you may have ADHD, well you may want to take a quick screener test which is basically an ADHD Checklist. You can get it from this popular ADHD disorder site http://www.adhdquestionsandanswers.com
