[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD is very over-diagnosed - and your pediatrician's approach shows exactly why. One fundamental aspect of ADHD is that it compares the child's behavior to other children, and in multiple natural settings. In my opinion, it should never be diagnosed if the child has not been directly observed at home and at school. I'm also irritated that your doctor did not identify any therapy for you, since therapy is the first line treatment. [/quote] It depends on the age of the child. Therapy and meds together is the recommendation if the child is school age.[/quote]
