ADHD is one of the most common behavioral disorders to show itself in childhood, however, children are not the only ones to suffer from this disorder. Adults are finding that they are suffering from the symptoms of this behavioral disorder.

Compared to someone who does not suffer from ADHD, the person who does often finds it difficult to focus on any one task for any length of time without becoming distracted by even the smallest distractions. The ADHD mind struggles with impulsiveness and restlessness.

The CDC estimates that approximately 4.4 million children(4-17 yrs) in schools today suffer from ADHD and are under the care of a physician.

Diagnosis for this behavioral disorder cannot be done in a laboratory with blood work. This behavioral disorder requires observations and interactions with the patient and a specialist, such as the diagnostician at Diagnostic Learning Services.

If you are concerned about yourself or your child, contact your physician and make the call to Diagnostic Learning Services to schedule an evaluation.
