Abstract

The chapter highlights the role of comprehensive assessment and its meaningful elements to construe ADHD in terms of diagnosis and management. The cognitive, affective, and behavioral symptoms must not be attributed to emotional or mood disturbance or psycho-social adjustments. The chapter explains an assessment pyramid explaining of multi-level assessment and domains with an acronym of CTP depicting cognitive, temperament, and psychopathology. Assessment may be more precise when a professional has knowledge of developmental theories. Attention hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) entails a detailed assessment, involving varied social agents, to understand the dynamic manifestation of different ages as well as the dysfunction caused by it. The current chapter emphasizes psycho-social factors, comorbidities, and dual-diagnosis issues that may exacerbate or mask the presentation of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults.
