It seems as though each day more children are diagnosed with
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD causes
challenges not only for the patient but also for their parents,
siblings, teachers, and other significant people in their lives.
They have an increased vulnerability to addiction and crime.
Controversially, stimulants are the primary choice for treatment of
ADHD in medical management, and the side effects of this long-term
pharmacological management has raised many questions. Psychosocial
management including parent training, behavior therapy, and
educational inputs are also major components of treatment and
should not be ignored. Thus, it is vital to explore the latest best
practices for the diagnosis, assessment, and management of ADHD.
New Developments in Diagnosing, Assessing, and Treating ADHD is a
collection of research on innovations in the management of ADHD.
While highlighting topics including adolescent care, neurological
disorders, and mental health, this book is ideally designed for
academicians, clinicians (especially psychiatrists, clinical
psychologists, and pediatricians), social workers, psychiatric
nurses, rehabilitation centers, researchers, and students
interested in the handling of this disorder and the long-term
effects and social risk factors associated with treatment.
