Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is difficult to recognize and characterized by many obstacles in addition to attention problems. The name of the disorder changes every few years as do the criteria for its diagnosis. In this series, we will briefly trace the history of the concept of ADHD and theories about what causes it. The majority of the series will be devoted to the assessment and treatment of ADHD in children, adolescents and adults, focusing on recent research. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own perspectives about the disorder and its treatment.
