1. A method for diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism or schizophrenia disease in a human, comprising:

  • imaging a brain of a human with a medical imaging process, wherein the medical imaging process is a multinuclear magnetic resonance process based on comparison of intensities obtained from relevant 31P or 1H nuclear magnetic resonance signals obtained from normal human child hosts and known abnormal human child hosts with cognitive impairment due to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism or schizophrenia with signal information obtained from a new human child patient with an unknown cognitive condition;

    determining a first signal intensity for synaptic phosphomonoesters (sPME) of the human brain;

    determining a second signal intensity for synaptic phosphodiesters (sPDE) of the human brain;

    determining a third signal intensity for synaptic vesicles phosphodiesters (iPDE) of the human brain;

    determining a fourth signal intensity for phosphocreatine (PCr) of the human brain;

    determining a fifth signal intensity for myo-inositol of the human brain; and

    determining whether a conclusion of cognitively impaired cognitive impairment due to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism or schizophrenia is suggested using the determined first, second, third, fourth and fifth signal intensities.
