50 Conditions that Mimic ADHD. ADHD is diagnosed by health professionals who form their opinion by observing a childâs behavior. There are no brain scans, blood tests, or anything else definite that is used during diagnosis. The problem with this is there are many other problems that have the same symptoms of ADHD. Many parents, because of not knowing, settle for ADHD as a diagnosis before looking at everything.
