Behavioral symptoms (including self report). And more in particular, how problematic the person and significant others takes the behavioral symptoms to be.

Thanks for this . I have a work book for adults with ADD that Im working through thats helping me gather behaviors and some history.
I did read where some children had been diagnosised with ADHD , given Ritalin and had seizures. They had epilepsy , absence sesuires , that went undetected.
So that might be a reason to have a brain scan done to rule that out.
It's been an intresting discusion to follow and helpful. Thank you all .
