Question :
I have a son that will be 7 years old in July. Prior to him entering the first grade at a new school, he had no major diffculty with behavior (no more than the average 6 year old male). But during the school year, he did seem to have difficulty with his focus. One teacher in particular, continually suggests that he may be ADD. I have done research, including talking to other parents and our pediatrician. My personal conclusion is that he is being an average child. My question is, is there a way to confirm ADD or determine if he has some sort of "chemical inbalance" thru blood and or urine - not based on psychological analyzation.
Answer
ADD is a clinical diagnosis and there are no tests that can be done that can conclusively prove the diagnosis. You can consult a child psychologist to evaluate your child and search into the exact nature of the problem as children may be hyperactive due to a variety of reasons which requires a lot of digging into both the child's mental setup as well as the parents. In the meantime, do read the article on ADHD on www.pediatriconcall.com or from the link given below: http://www.pediatriconcall.com/forpatients/CommonChild/attention.asp
