Hello, the psychiatrists will first take a detailed history from you regarding your child. They will also interview the child and observe his behavior during the same. The class teacher's observation will also be taken into consideration. Based on all these reports, they will make a diagnosis. Not all kids will be put on medication initially. Depending on the severity of the problem, treatment will be suggested. It can be behavioral, pharmacological or both. Pharmacotherapy is very effective and safe for treatment of ADHD.
