It is very important to
know that there is no specific diagnostic test that will present some positive
or negative result for ADHD. Some people believe about availability of
some ADHD test but this is not true.
First thing, it is a
neurological disorder linked with heredity. Statistics say that both boys and
girls develop this disorder evenly. Before it was believed that only a healthy
number of boy grow this disorder. The rate
in adults is 4.5%. In USA, 10% of the population is being affected by ADHD,
note before this research it was believed that only 5% of the population grow
this disorder.
It is rightly think that
hyperactivity and impulsive conduct might be a normal infancy problem. But the
question is, how many of us are multi-taskers and be able to disrupt the
discussions. Therefore, the doctor will be interested in knowing the period of
this disorder, for example he will be keen to know if this has happened before
the age of 7 and after how much time it lasted. Moreover, the doctor can
determine by some questions how much damaging these disorders are for the
growth of at least two periods of child’s life; the community, the school
classroom, and school playground.
Questions are normally used
to know the patient’s condition precisely. The doctor may also ask questions
about the attention deficit-disorder as doing homework and getting distraction.
With hyperactivity, question will be, how much embarrassing it becomes. And how
many times the child comes out with answers and break in on discussions.
The doctor may also have questions for the
parents to tell about any history of ADHD in the family or about any
hectic circumstances at home. Once all the information is congregated for the ADHD
test, then its comparison with
normal children draws out a accurate diagnosis.
