It appears that the list of “other problems” that mimic symptoms of ADHD just got another addition. According to this recent article, sleep apnea can be another problem where your child will exhibit the characteristic symptoms of attention deficit disorder:

• Difficulty focusing
• Increased irritability
• Fidgety
• Uncontrollable emotional outbursts

Doesthis sound familiar?
