about the lack of intelligence.
Usually children in early elementary years or perhaps even in preschool will begin to display symptoms of AD/HD. And while all children are quite energetic and quite precocious, there is a marked difference between the normal amount of this energetic behavior and the often inappropriate and uncontrollable energy and distracted actions that can overtake a child with AD/HD. There are no lab tests to look for something physiologically imbalanced in the body causing the AD/HD, but it is important to make sure that there are not competing physical issues with the AD/HD. Because this is not always an easy disorder to nail down as being present, there may be two extremes that occur when a child is examined. One extreme may be so many attention deficit disorder test exams that the bill runs into a great deal of money. Parents should check with health insurance carriers before agreeing to any tests to make sure there is coverage for all recommended tests. The other extreme may be a family doctor just handing parents an attention deficit disorder test consisting of just a list of checked off symptoms that could have easily be gotten from a pop culture magazine.
Symptoms of AD/HD can mimic many other emotional and physical issues such as depression, learning disabilities, bi-polar disorder, Tourette's Syndrome, food allergies and even fetal alcohol syndrome. In fact, many children that have been diagnosed with having AD/HD don't have it at all, but suffer from something that can certainly look like the disorder. This may be the reason why so many tests are often run by health care professional before making a diagnosis. On the other hand, a school psychologist may see a number of symptoms that certainly are a part of the AD/HD profile, but never mention AD/HD by name in his or her report. In the end, the AD/HD Information Library says that 2 out of every 3 with the disorder are never diagnosed correctly. That means even as adults, people will never know what is really wrong with them. That places a huge amount of pressure on how much attention is paid to attention deficit disorder test exams and how thorough they have to be.
If an adult suspects that he or she may have AD/HD, there are actually online tests that can provide some clues as to whether or not the adult may have the disorder. Here are some issues that are covered in the attention deficit disorder test: impulsive spending, distractions during sex, often misplaced keys or wallet, frequent traffic violations, transposition of numbers or letters, usually late or in a hurry, trouble getting started, trouble keeping a job and many other typical signs of adult AD/HD. Answering yes to many of these attention deficit disorder test characteristics may point to adult AD/HD. In addition, other signs of possible adult AD/HD include trouble planning involved tasks, are thin-skinned, may have outbursts of rage, poor financial management, argumentative, mood swings, and worries needlessly or excessively and says things without thinking. The person with AD/HD certainly does have a life filled with troubles, but part of the key is overcoming them is to share those feelings with God, just like this psalm writer. "O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: let my prayer come before thee, incline thine ear to my cry for my soul is full of troubles..." (Psalm 88: 1, 2, 3a)
If a person has answered positively to many of these characteristics listed in this self help attention deficit disorder test, it is still not necessarily a sign that one has adult AD/HD. They are, however, a strong indication that there is a need to see a health care professional for a serious talk. A doctor may want the patient to seek some counseling to further reveal the presence of adult AD/HD. Should the diagnosis be made, the physician will be able to more correctly be able to prescribe both medication and further psychotherapy in order to maintain a more normal life. There is no 'cure' for AD/HD, but a lifetime partnership with physician and advocacy groups can make life a whole lot smoother for the sufferer.
Many patients don't like the side effects that medications have on themselves, and many parents worry about the effects of a drug therapy on their children. Once an attention deficit disorder test profile has been completed and the diagnosis has been made, every effort should be made to seek out counselor a person is most comfortable with and should the advice not be what one wants to hear, seek another opinion. There may be some ways to cope with the effects of AD/HD without drugs, but not every professional is convinced of that. And these cognitive ways of coping may not prove to be enough in the end, and the use of a drug therapy may have to be considered. But explore all possibilities and options, but do not ignore the symptoms in your child or yourself. Better things can be ahead with the right treatment.
