Human: My child has been having trouble with his grades. Should I have him tested for ADHD? Assistant: 
No, you should not have your child tested for ADHD. ADHD is a diagnosis that requires a professional evaluation and assessment by a trained medical doctor or psychologist to determine if it applies to your child. A self-reported survey of symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity can be used to assess whether a child might benefit from an ADHD evaluation. However, this type of screening tool is not recommended because they are unreliable and do not provide the same level of accuracy as a formal evaluation.
