Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Selected review of causes, comorbidity and treatment
1Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia.
Abstract:
A limited review of the causes, comorbidity, diagnosis and treatment is offered to emphasize the difficulties in diagnosing and treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Hyperkinetic Disorder. Some of the difficulties include controversies about the existence of a separate disorder, the changes in symptoms with age, the short-lived improvement on medication and the claims of unsubstantiated treatments. This selected review should help the reader to consider recent findings in the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
