Have one of your children been diagnosed with ADHD? ADHD is a very hereditary neurological condition. 4 out of 5 children have at least one ADHD parent who quite possibly has never been diagnosed.
A formal diagnosis is made by a psychiatrist, paediatrician, neurologist or a general practitioner with a special interest in ADHD. All of these professionals can prescribe ADHD medication as required.
A psychologist can diagnose ADHD but may not prescribe medication.
