    What do you look for when you diagnose ADHD?

    Hyperactivity symptoms: trouble staying still, moving around all the time, fidgeting all the time and when there are impulsivity issues with the hyperactivity, things like running out in the street without really thinking about the consequences. Then there is attention deficit: hard time paying attention, changing focus from one topic to the other, more so that other people of the same age group.

    This response was just one answer taken from a video Q&A with Dr. Chamberlain.
