ADHD and DSM-5: Symptoms and How They Manifest

The Diagnostic Statistics Manual (DSM) is the official guide for diagnosing those with ADHD. The DSM-5 identifies various symptoms in combination that would lead to a diagnosis of attention deficient hyperactivity disorder. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Dr. Kirsten Milliken (www.playdhd.com) reviews the current symptoms, quantifies them, and talks about how they play out and manifest in everyday life. If you’re interested in understanding the diagnostic criteria, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
