ABSTRACT
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental life time high prevalence disorder. Many individuals who suffer from ADHD benefit from treatment. For a significant subgroup of patients with the diagnosis ADHD, medication is important for treatment. Diagnostic criteria however as yet are not pathognomonic. A specific test to diagnose the type of ADHD that responds to medication has so far not been promoted as such. This article postulates that many individuals presenting with ADHD syndrome are likely to benefit from such a test. Here such a test is described.
