medical tests to have done | ADHD Information

Share

i plan on scheduling an appointment with our pediatrician to rule out any medical problems that could be mimicing adhd.  what specifically should i not forget to have done? i know that i've read up on tonsils and adenoids and my daughters are HUGE...and my son has his out due to sleep apnea.  what else should i keep in mind at the appointment to bring up?

there are 50 conditions that mimic ADHD.  However, the tests that our doc did was a thyroid test and a sleep deprived EEG.   I am sure your doc might have some others to consider.

If you do a google with the words " 50 conditions that mimic ADHD" you will get several sites.....that are basically the same

 thank you for the suggestion!!!! it was very helpful:)
