Over-Diagnosis
For this short paper, students should draw references and background support information from the two articles assigned as readings in this module—What Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? and DSM-5 Changes: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)—as well as the assigned video, American Children and Mental Health.
Answer these questions in the paper
• How are behavioral and conduct disorders diagnosed?
• What factors potentially contribute to the over-diagnosis of these types of disorders?
• What long- and short-term implications does over-diagnosis have on a child?
• Substantiate your findings with specific examples and research.
