    • Children with ADHD frequently interact with family physicians, necessitating physician expertise in diagnosis and management.
    • Early identification and intervention are critical for mitigating the serious sequelae associated with ADHD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a comprehensive approach for family physicians to evaluate and manage childhood hyperactivity (ADHD).
