Abstract
The diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) indicate “a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.”1(pX) ADHD occurs in 2.5% of adults and 5% of children.1 It is also the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children.1 There are differences in the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in the 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), as compared with the 2000 DSM-IV. Adults and children can have 3 types of ADHD, combined, inattentive, and hyperactivity/impulsive presentation, which, in the DSM-5, are classified as mild, moderate, or severe.
