chromosomes. Discoveries starting in the 1950s have helped scientists to develop genetic tests for genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Genetic testing was initially used to make or confirm a diagnosis of a genetic condition, and to screen newborns for conditions such as phenylketonuria (PKU), so that early interventions and treatments could be administered. The screening of these genetic diseases led to appropriate assessment of the problem…

To again paraphrase Paul (2008), a diagnosis of APD is difficult, especially in school age children…

researching ADHD in the attempt to identify it’s etiology, but yet still no single cause has been found (Rowland, A.S., 2002). While there is not laboratory testing that can be done to diagnosis ADHD, there are questionnaires that are given to parents and teachers. This, at this time, is the only true way to diagnosis ADHD. While the exact prevalence of ADHD is not known, this seems to stem from conflicting studies that have been done. While the research is very sensitive as into who was…

The daughters claim that she recently went…

DSM-5 gives specific criteria that must be met in order to meet the diagnosis for Substance…
