It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that runs a chronic course and causes significant impairments across various domains of everyday functioning, such as peer and social functioning, academic functioning, and occupational functioning across the lifespan. Besides the patient, ADHD also has significant negative impact on the caregivers. This guideline seeks to lay out guidelines for effective and comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and management of ADHD. It attempts to update the previous guidelines taking into account the current state of evidence that can inform clinical practice. These guidelines ought to be read in conjunction with the earlier version of the treatment guidelines on ADHD as developed and published by the Indian Psychiatric Society in 2007.
