Diagnosing ADHD involves a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional. This may include:

- Behavior assessment: Observing your child's behavior in different settings, such as at home and at school.
- Psychological testing: Administering standardized tests to assess your child's cognitive abilities and attention skills.
What are the treatment options for ADHD?
Treatment for ADHD typically involves a combination of strategies, including:
- Medication: In some cases, medication can help manage symptoms and improve focus.
