Abstract
SummaryAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder
affecting children and adults. Many young people treated with stimulants, as
well as those in whom ADHD went unrecognised in childhood, need treatment as
adults. Stimulants and atomoxetine effectively reduce ADHD symptoms at all
ages and should be a standard treatment in general adult psychiatric
practice.
