ADHD: Thinking like a Child Psychiatrist
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the commonest childhood disorders but to diagnose a child with ADHD is a complex process of collating information from multiple sources. The process of diagnosing a child with ADHD has to be done with due diligence, as the stakes of not diagnosing or misdiagnosing, can be very high.

This video is meant for professionals and teachers who work with children and young people who are suspected to have ADHD.
