There is a need for a clear and concise approach to a complex disorder such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This guide combines the useful approaches used in different guidelines with the recent literature reviews, clinical expertise, and other web resources.
The approach to gathering information from guidelines was broad. Guidelines were collected from different REGIONS such as North America (CADDRA for Canadian guidelines, and ACAP and others for American guidelines), Australia (Australian draft guidelines), and Europe (NICE, British, Scottish and others).
This guide is intended for educational purposes only. There are different areas in the field of ADHD that were not captured in this guide and readers are encouraged to continue to update their knowledge regularly.
