FAQ: How is ADHD diagnosed in children?

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation by a trained professional, including:

  • Detailed history and physical exam
  • Rating scales completed by parents and teachers
  • Cognitive and academic assessments
  • Ruling out other conditions

There is no single test to diagnose ADHD. A clinical assessment looking at symptoms, impairment, and developmental history is used.
