Answer / Mahesh Pratap Singh

Diagnosing ADHD involves assessing symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that have persisted for at least six months. A comprehensive evaluation typically includes a medical history, mental health assessment, and sometimes psychological testing. Treatment options may include medication, behavioral therapy, or a combination of both, tailored to the individual child's needs.
