Misconceptions and misinformation about ADHD are not uncommon. Despite being one of the most researched neurodevelopmental conditions, ADHD remains surrounded by myths instead of facts.

Mental health conditions don’t manifest as they do in movies and other pop culture. There are countless variables to factor in.

If you've noticed symptoms of ADHD in yourself or your child, your healthcare provider might recommend an ADHD screening. This evaluation isn't a test but rather an assessment to diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
