Excerpt

Our understanding of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), its underlying nature and its treatment have expanded owing to new strides made in basic and clinical research. This supplement comprises four articles, each focusing on an area that has shown significant developments in recent years: (1) the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges presented by patients who have ADHD and comorbid disorders; (2) efficacy, safety and patient selection issues with currently approved pharmacological treatments; (3) advances in defining ADHD neuropathophysiology; and (4) the clinical utility of noradrenergic α2-receptor agonists for managing ADHD symptoms. …
