My son is 8 years old and in the 3rd grade and is diagnosed with ADHD hyperactive/impulsive type. He was originally diagnosed in pre-K and was put on stimulant medication. It worked up to the second half of 2nd grade. The doctors then kept changing and increasing the medications only to make my son more irritable and uncooperative.

Replying to: diagnosis of ADD/ADHD IMHO, I would only use a CHILD PSYCHIATRIST to evaluate / treat / medication monitor my child. I know a pediatrician is less expensive - but not as qualified to make such a diagnosis either. ADD/ADHD medications are powerful, brain altering meds, there are many potential side-effects. There are also a great many children mis-diagnosed with ADHD. ...
