What are you going to do when your physician says it may be AD/HD?

What is AD/HD?
According to the American Psychiatric Association, AD/HD is a neurological disorder that affects 3% - 5% of school age children. It is characterized by developmentally inappropriate impulsivity, inattention, and in some cases, hyperactivity. AD/HD tends to persist from childhood through adolescence and many symptoms continue into adulthood. Recent studies estimate that between 30% - 70% of children with AD/HD continue to exhibit symptoms as an adult.

Why is AD/HD so difficult to assess?
The symptoms of AD/HD are similar to those of more than 30 other disorders, each requiring different types of medication/treatment. These include problems ranging from hearing/vision abnormalities or allergies to depression and anxiety.
