How To Diagnose ADHD In Children - ADHD Symptom Checklist For Child

by Jennifer_Walter

In my capacity as a psychiatrist I hear the same questions
repeated ad nauseam, and the quantity of questions far exceeds
the actual range of topics. Time and time again, it is the same
questions generally relating to either the diagnosis and or
treatment of ADHD such as "how do I diagnose adhd", "how can i
determine if my child has adhd?, "signs of adhd in young
children", "does my child have adhd" and many more.

In order to better educate those with concerns that a child may
have ADHD, I have created a checklist of symptoms which indicate
ADHD in a child. This will help you do diagnose better for adhd
child symptom and provide early interventions for children with
adhd

What are the different types of ADHD?

ADHD actually falls into 3 broad categories, contingent on the
symptoms that are exhibited during the course of an intervention
of a child with ADHD. The three categories are as follows:

1. Combined Type (Inattentive/Hyperactive/Impulsive).

Children who suffer from this form of ADHD will exhibit the
following triad of symptoms:

- inattentive behavior
- impulsiveness
- hyperactivity.

2. Hyperactive/Impulsive Type.

This form of ADHD is similar to the classic form of ADHD, with
the conspicuous absence of inattentive behavior.

3. Inattentive Type

This form of ADHD is less frequently diagnosed than the other
two forms , the main reason being that due to a low level of
activity from the child concerned, so there is no overt
behavior.

This is a worry and concern for many parents, what makes matters
worse is that during the early developing years of a child they
already seem bored and disengaged with schoolwork making it
difficult to make a clear cut diagnosis. The following is a list
which can help narrow down signs of ADHD in children

1. The child has little focus, and is easily and readily
distracted by other sounds or stimuli.
