What Every Parent Needs To Know About Tests To Diagnose Add And Adhd
Do you think ADHD is overdiagnosed? Perhaps now that much more information is available about ADHD, it is becoming easier to diagnose. So, what are the tests to diagnose ADD and ADHD First of all, the doctor will want to eliminate other possible conditions which may mimic to a certain extent ADD and ADHD symptoms. There is also the possibility of a co-morbid disorder which means that two or more disorders may be affecting the child. This is why it is so important to have a reliable test for ADHD done.
The most common co-morbid disorders are ODD which stands for Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It is estimated that up to 35% of kids with ADHD may also have ODD and as its name suggests, temper tantrums and rule breaking are to the forefront. Anxiety may also co-exist and the percentage here too is high as it accounts for about a quarter of ADHD children. Excessive worry, fear and even panic attacks may be present.
Before actually organizing the tests to diagnose ADD and ADHD, the doctor will want to rule out other possible conditions. These could be lead poisoning which tends to occur in less advantaged families as they live in older derelict homes where old leaded paint can be chewed or even swallowed. A simple blood test can exclude this possibility. There may be problems with eyesight or hearing. It could be a low red cell blood amount (anemia) which will make the child listless or it could be a thyroid problem although this latter condition is much more common in adults than in children.
Apart from the medical examination, checking the child's medical history and also the parents, a range of tests are given. These are known as rating scales. The basic idea is that they can be compared to other children who are the same age. There are two scales for parents which try to find out what exactly the child's symptoms are (this is called Conners' Parent Rating Scale) and also a sort of checklist for behavioural problems known as the Child behaviour Checklist. The same checklists and rating scales are also given to the teachers to record how the child behaves in the classroom. As you can see a test for ADHD is quite complex.
Then the SNAP checklist (called after its inventors, Swanson, Nolan and Pelham) is used to assess all the answers as set down in the manual DSM IV. These rating scales and tests are not totally reliable and indeed the The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that rating scales are used in conjunction with other means as they are not the only tests to diagnose ADD and ADHD.
Once an ADHD diagnosis has been made you may wish to do some research on the ADHD medications which your doctor may prescribe. As you know, the side effects of these drugs (they are mind altering drugs after all) may cause more problems that they resolve as the side effects can sometimes be alarming to say the least. You will also want to do research on ADHD natural cures which are free of side effects and absolutely safe.
