It might sound surprising (especially to some less-than-savvy physicians and therapists), but ADHD evaluation and treatment outcome also typically benefits from a shared "team" approach. Let's examine the reasons why. Elaine finally decided to seek professional help for her long-ago diagnosed ADHD. But it still took her three months to actually book the appointment.

Unfortunately, that therapist ended up knowing little about ADHD, and Elaine gave up on finding another one on her insurance plan. Then again, Elaine's problematic ADHD symptoms presented fertile ground for a bumper crop of unhealthy behaviors on both their parts.

The disorder is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. According to the researchers, by age 4, as many as 40 percent of children have sufficient problems with attention to be of concern to parents and preschool teachers.
