What about using this comparison: Anxiety can present very much like ADHD, but if you give a child with anxiety stimulant medication you can exacerbate the condition rather than helping it. Since the medication can be harmful in conditions that aren't actually ADHD, a proper diagnosis is required before treatment.

Not sure if that helps, but it's an example of how treatment should start afterdiagnosis...

Good luck - I hope you figure something out.
