Proper Diagnosis 1st: Quizzes don't cut it. Diagnosing adhd requires assessing symptoms & their history and ruling out other disorders. U see adhd behavioral symptoms overlap widely w/those of other disorders -e.g., anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, etc. Also, someone may be diagnosed wadhd & other disorder(s). See psychiatrist or clinical psychologist 4 good assessment. We spend yrs training 4 this.
