A proper ADHD diagnosis begins with an initial clinician visit. This visit entails multiple assessments, mostly dealing with behavioral and personality questions. A TOVA test is also given to ascertain a child’s or adult’s attention level. Most clinicians require a thorough physical examination in order to rule out ancillary factors

A second visit is more comprehensive. Clinicians require a significant other join the patient for verification of symptom existence and strengths. Report cards and other evidence is also utilized by clinicians before rendering a conclusion.

An ADHD diagnosis does not utilize brain scans. The diagnosis is purely subjective, based on anecdotes, tests and paper trails, The ADHD diagnosis process has come under intense scrutiny because of the subjectivity, and the fact that a 700% increase has occurred with ADHD being diagnosed in children. Because of this, some ADHD experts suggest seeking second and third opinions before settling on a clinicians decision, especially if ADHD medications are prescribed for childre.

ADHD is a "clinical diagnosis," which means that the diagnosis is based on clinical judgment. Sometimes, teachers and other adults around the child offer clinical insight.

That’s a very complicated question because there’s a variety of factors that can cause ADHD. However, some factors that I strongly urge you to take a look at and discuss with your doctor (and others) are potential neurotoxins in food/beverages that you consume. Aspartame and MSG are just two of those potential neurotoxins. Honestly, there’s not enough independent,reliable research out there about MSG’s safety.

According to, insiders/researchers and independent studies, consumption of food and beverages with MSG can have a variety of short-term and long-term affects on your health depending on how your brain is wired. The effects can range from adverse (i.e., headache, excessive sweating, migraine) to neuroendocrine (i.e. obesity & depression) and neurological (i.e., MS and Alzheimer’s) ones.

MSG is excites your brain cells to make you think that the food/beverage is tasty while hiding bad flavors. The FDA considers it to be generally safe. However, many insiders and researchers are speaking out to blowing the whistle that MSG is also an neurotoxin that overexcites your brain cells to the point of damaging and/or killing them through time.

They give you cognative tests similar to an IQ test to find out if you have ADHD. The medicine they prescribe for ADHD are not at all like bipolar medication whatsoever. Bipolar medication have phenothiazine backbones while ADHD medication usually consists of phenethylamine backbones which are completely different chemicals and don’t react in any way like bipolar medication. So it is unlikely that ADHD medication will have any effects on your emotions.

They usually misdiagnose it. See http://www.Cchrint.org/2009/09/15/no-more-adhd/ for a video with Dr. Mary Ann Block

I have ADHD and my doctors said that they dont have a test for it to see if you really have it or not. They go by what your parents tell them, and they give you medication to see if it works on you and thats how they determain it. i think. sometimes it can take a while before you find the right one. If you are ADHD. anyways goodluck (:

Comment on Sleep & 14 yr old with bipolar & ADHD? by Katt

bipolar is like that. the meds will always make it hard for him to wake up. getting up at the same time everyday no matter what will help him to learn how to wake up. getting on your feet helps to get you up taking shower too but not real hot ones need to be as cool as he can take it. as far as going to sleep i can’t help much i’ only sleep 2 to 4hrs a day so i don’t know how to sleep my self. i will tell you that getting 8hrs of sleep was started by the drug com to sell sleeping pills. they have done lost of studies and found that there are a lot of people that only need 4 to 5 hours a night and do fine. try to find studies that aren’t done by drug comp. there should be a lot of info on the net.
