October is recognized as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month, a time to educate the public and raise awareness about ADHD. Events and activities are taking place nationwide to bring attention to this common neurodevelopmental disorder.
Recognizing the Signs of ADHD in Children
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is no single test to diagnose ADHD. ADHD shares symptoms with other conditions such as sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and certain learning disabilities, which can make it challenging to differentiate between them. If you think your child may have ADHD, it is important to be aware of the signs and seek professional guidance.
