Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder that leads to significant impairment across the lifespan. Although historically defined as a childhood disorder, the adult manifestation has more recently been identified; yet, many adults with this disorder remain unidentified and untreated.

These articles will provide the practicing clinician current information relevant to the treatment of their patients with ADHD. This activity requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to download each article.
