      Who can diagnose ADHD and how?<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A Doctor or a psychologist can diagnose the child with ADHD using various assessment tools. If and when diagnosed, the parents will learn the real cause of their child\u2019s behavior which will help them accept and take measures for dealing with it.<\/p>\n

      A combination of therapy and medication, which is the most helpful treatment, is provided at iThrive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
