ADHD affects between 3% and 7% of school-aged children. In a proportion of children, the condition will persist into their adult life.

Treatment of ADHD includes educational and psychological approaches and medication when appropriate. An individual treatment plan is required for each person with ADHD, to ensure the most effective combination of therapy is provided
