    Diagnosing ADHD 'can be very difficult because diagnosis is based on patient and parent interviews and observational studies'

    No, ADHD can be very difficult to diagnose because you have nothing but behavior to base a diagnosis on. The 'mind' is not the brain; the 'mind' cannot be seen by a piece of machinery. Why is it we call something an 'illness' that has no biological means of testing? Every other illness can be tested for biologically, but not 'mental illness.' 'Mental illness' is the only 'illness' that requires 2 people in order to have it. Talk about crazy. Oh, and the ADHD? Start having the kids walk to school again. Then this never-before heard of 'disease' will go away.
