ADHD is serious issue in the lives of many young people. In this situation, a diagnosis can give hope to children and their parents in the midst of a confusing time.

How Some Kids Are Falsely Diagnosed With Behavioral Conditions [One Minute Feature]

However, parents must also be aware that it is possible for their kids to be falsely diagnosed with behavioral conditions. Parents must be wise as they look for solutions for behavioral issues and especially as they consider turning to medication.

Why Parents Might Want to Consider If Their Child Has Been Falsely Diagnosed Before Relying on Medication

You know, the number of kids diagnosed with ADD and ADHD these days is insane. It is easy for parents to just accept these diagnoses since, to some degree, it is an excuse for why their kids act out so much. But are these diagnoses always the culprits so many doctors and child-care professionals claim them to be?

Well, I’m not questioning the existence of either condition, but I am questioning the huge number of kids falsely diagnosed as such. This goes for many other disorders too. Before we artificially mess with Junior’s body and brain chemistry through meds, let’s first take a hard look at balancing his chemistry with a proper investment of quantity and quality time and by loving and training him in the way he should go.
