Diagnosing Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder in Children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Childhood Sexual Abuse
The majority of children who are vicitms of sexual abuse display symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, however not all children who have been exposed to sexual abuse develop post traumatic stress disorder. Other diagnoses share similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder such as Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity, Bipolar Illness, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorders. It is therefore critical that mental health professionals do a thorough job of collecting the necessary information to make an accurate diagnosis.
