Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that affects millions of children worldwide. Those who suffer from ADHD may have a more difficult time than others paying attention and concentrating because of hyperactivity or impulsive behavior. Diagnosing a child with ADHD is unfortunately not as straightforward as you may think. There are numerous factors to consider, and every child is different, which means diagnosing ADHD is an inexact science.
