Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is an often misunderstood condition, affecting an estimated 1 -2 per cent of the population. The symptoms vary widely in range and severity, and include difficulties with concentration, impulse control, hyperactivity, and motivation and time awareness. These can often lead to school failure and expulsion, emotional, behavioural and social problems. ADHD symptoms may mimic other medical and environmental-related conditions, which may hinder accurate recognition.

ADHD: Recognition, Reality and Resolution is an overview of this complex subject. This book is designed as a reference for parents, teachers and professionals directly involved with children with ADHD.
