Some problems associated with Attention Deficit Disorder include poor performance in school, inconsistency in work, difficulties with organization and time management, relationships and emotional immaturity, and social difficulties, which impact virtually every aspect of a person’s life. ADD and ADHD can be difficult to diagnose, especially when coexisting disorders are present; this consists of a large percentage of people with another disorder, such as depression, bipolar disorder, or learning disabilities. The diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder as well as ADHD is based on a questionnaire completed by the patient as well as by the other people involved in their lives (parents, spouse). In the case of a child, diagnosis also includes discussions with the parents regarding behaviors at school and home, a complete physical examination, evaluation of family medical history, and psychological testing. The diagnosis can be made by a physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or social worker.
