In the DSM-IV, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is typically diagnosed on Axis I as a neurodevelopmental disorder. It involves symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is important to note that the DSM-5 has since replaced the multi-axial system with a more integrated approach to diagnosis.
If a person displays many symptoms of ADHD [see related questions] one could suggest a person has ADHD. In some cases, such as inattentive subtypes of ADHD a person would not display obvious external symptoms. Only a doctor can confirm a diagnosis of ADHD.
Federal laws associated with an ADHD diagnosis include the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These laws provide protections and accommodations for individuals with ADHD in educational settings, such as special education services and reasonable accommodations in schools and workplaces.
Diagnoses of ADHD are made by clinical psychologists and educational testing specialists, most of whom have PhDs in education. A psychiatrist can also make the diagnosis. After the initial diagnosis, if medication is recommended, you must then see a physician. ADHD-u is a specialty clinic in your area at 301 Hardman Avenue North South in St. Paul 888-241-9488.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is classified as an Axis I disorder according to the DSM-IV, which includes clinical disorders that cause significant impairment. Axis I encompasses a range of psychiatric conditions that require treatment, while Axis II is reserved for personality disorders and intellectual disabilities. Although the DSM-5 has moved away from the multi-axis system, ADHD remains categorized as a primary disorder requiring intervention.
