Does My Kid Have ADHD? All About Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
Show: Mayo Clinic Kids
ADHD — attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder — is everywhere. Statistically, every classroom is likely to have a child with ADHD. So whether your kid has ADHD or not, it’s probably part of your kid’s life. So how do you tell the difference between everyday distraction and ADHD?
On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with pediatric psychiatrist Dr. Eric Pease about attention and what an ADHD diagnosis might mean for your kid.
