A member asked:
Is there any lab tests to diagnose adhd/add?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Body fluids (i.e., urine or blood) are not tested to diagnose add/adhd. One gets history ; rating scales from the person and other sources (like parents/ teachers). Psychological and neuropsychological testing are another tool. Observation of the person is also important. Take care.
