Attention deficit/Hyperactivity disorder in children

@Mamaof3

There are certain criteria used to determine whether a child is actually ADD/ADHD…here is a useful link which describes these in detail…and yes I think they look for a history of these symptoms but I dont know if its 6 months.

AD(H)D CRITERIA - DSM IV * Criteria for determining ADD / ADHD

I visited this website: Symptoms and Diagnostic Criteria

per this site:

In addition, the behaviors must create significant difficulty in at least two areas of life, such as home, social settings, school, or work. Symptoms must be present for at least six months.
