A Physician’s Guide to ADHD

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a syndrome commonly encountered in children and adolescents, and occasionally in adults.

At least one child in every classroom and approximately 3–5% of the school-age population is inattentive, hyperactive, or both.
