I was reading an article http://www.articleglobe.info/depression/2900.php based on the question of "Is it ADHD or is is Depression?" I would like to have some professional opinions, what do you all think?

Great question - the label ADHD baffles me because if we had an attention deficit we would be dead as we wouldn;t notice traffic, edges of roads etc etc - in my opinion and experience - the child has plenty of attention its just focused on the wrong thing - so for example out of the window rather than on the teacher - if you teach kids with ADHD peripheral vision it can resolve it .....also from another model it an be the childs way of resolving a conflict too!

Depression is sometimes co-diagnosed in children with ADHD. These children can also suffer from low-self-esteem that can affect their social and emotional life.
