Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD, is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD have impaired functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. If untreated, the disorder can have long-term adverse effects into adolescence and adulthood (for more information about ADHD, click here).
