Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct: Anxiety or depression, and absence seizures can be mistaken for ADHD as well as hearing problems and learning disabilities. Disruptive or unresponsive behavior, symptoms of ADHD, can be caused by anxiety or depression. Attention lapses caused by absence seizures can produce behaviors similar to ADHD.
B Incorrect: Personality disorders and anxiety disorders are not mistaken for ADHD. ADHD is frequently associated with anxiety disorders but not personality disorders.
C Incorrect: Low self-esteem and efforts to cover it up usually do not produce behaviors similar to ADHD. Low self-esteem can result from having ADHD related to a lack of peer relationships and positive feedback, and academic underachievement.
D Incorrect: Immaturity and or regression do not produce behaviors similar to ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
A Incorrect: ADHD is not viewed as a disorder that will be present until the child is in junior high school and then will disappear.
