6. How do I know if my child might have ADHD? Look for a persistent pattern—lasting six months or more—of inattention (e.g., losing things, difficulty sustaining focus) and/or hyperactivity‑impulsivity (e.g., fidgeting, interrupting) in multiple settings such as home and school. Symptoms should appear before age 12 and interfere with academic or social functioning. Keep notes from teachers and caregivers, and observe whether structure or rewards temporarily improve behavior. An accurate diagnosis involves rating scales, developmental history, and sometimes psychological testing. If you suspect ADHD, schedule an evaluation with a child psychiatrist or psychologist through https://www.bestpsychiatristsindelhi.com/ or https://www.delhimindclinic.com/.
