  Abstract

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity leading to difficulties at home, education and daily activities. ADHD remains relatively young within paediatric psychiatry with its recognition and management developing over the last 20 years. A consensus towards diagnosis and management has come with recent NICE guidelines.
