    Some of the Hyperactivity Symptoms are:

    Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in the seat.

    Running about or climbing in some of the inappropriate situations

    Difficulty in playing it quietly

    Person talks too much as if driven by motor.

    The other Impulsivity Symptoms are:

    Blurts out the answers before questions are completed.

    They also feel difficulty in awaiting turn.

    They interrupt or intrude on others.

    Many people who suffer from ADHD are successful in their related field work and jobs. There are some possible complications, in case ADHD is not properly treated, and they include failure in school or other similar problems. As there is no proven way to prevent from ADHD itself, the early identification and the treatment can prevent many problems which are associated with ADHD.

    There is a complete series of procedure which is to be adopted incorrectly with ADHD. On the other hand there are many children who do not have ADHD they sometimes get undiagnosed. Most of the time, some of the difficult children are incorrectly labeled with ADHD. Similarly most of the children failed to get diagnosed with ADHD but they have this problem in real life. In any of the case, learning disabilities or the mood problems are normally missed. The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued guidelines in order to bring more clarity to the issue.

    These diagnoses rely on different symptoms which must be present in one or more condition. Therefore it is advisable that a clinical evaluation such as ADHD is suspected. These kind of evaluations include:

    Parent and teacher questionnaires

    Psychological evaluation of the child and the other family members include the IQ testing and also psychological testing.
