Parenting Series: Part 4— Reading Between The Lines Of An ADHD Diagnosis.

Chodesh Tov! Wishing you all a wonderful and joyful new month, on today, the first day of the Jewish month of Adar. And Rosh Chodesh also means another installment in Eydl Reznik's excellent parenting series, right here, since creativity and parenting go hand in hand.

This month's lesson is an invaluable wake up call to all parents whose children have been diagnosed with ADHD. As it turns out, the ADHD diagnosis is often given to children who have a different problem altogether. The good news however, is that your child's problem may be something that can be resolved, given a proper assessment and diagnosis. So I'd say don't walk, run to read this month's lesson— you may be able to help a precious child, yours or someone else's, start living life to its fullest, and without the quite possibly incorrect label ADHD.

    Misdiagnosed as non ADHD

    I agree, when children are having difficulty learning at school, or staying focused at home, it is natural to want to solve their problems.
    But ADHD does exist, and treatment has helped a lot of people.
    I was not diagnosed until I was 20, although I struggled my whole life with ADHD symptoms which eventually caused depression and anxiety for me.
    I have seen people who do not have ADHD take stimulant medications and have opposite reactions. They either become overly hyper, or zombie like. When I take Concerta, I become normal! If I don’t take it, I am overly hyper or zombie like. I have also seen people with ADHD who take medication and never address the behavioral issues that come with ADHD. It took years of therapy for me to learn time management and organizational skills that allow me to overcome the forgetfulness, lack of focus, and problem with deadlines that nearly lead me to drop out of high school.
    I agree with you, there are many MANY factors that can hinder a child from thriving, but ADHD is one of them and I think this article is a bit one sided.
