My cousin in India has an 8 year old son. It seems a pychologist diagnosed him as having ADHD.
Desi Ostrich, it is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
My sis who is visiting from India these days was telling me that he used to be a well behaved kid doing well in school. All of a sudden his grades dropped and he would have severe mood swings. She took him to the school counselor who in turn referred them to a psychologist. My cousin herself is a trained psychologist for corporation so she felt something was out of the normal.
The question is that does a medical doctor diagnose such conditions or can a psychologist identify the symptoms?
Also, can the kid be treated without drugs?
Both, Medical doctor will give them survey for parents and class teacher and in the light of their answers will decide it's major or mild disorder.
