The app to avoid: ADHD Tests

Whether on an iphone or a droid, you shouldn’t try to diagnose whether someone has ADHD from an app. There is no single test that can diagnose ADHD. If you suspect you have ADHD, you should schedule an appointment with a physician. She can run a full set of diagnostic tests to help rule out other possible causes for your symptoms and help you determine a course of treatment.
