The new guidelines update decade-old recommendations that focused on diagnosing and managing ADHD in kids aged six to 12. But behaviour problems, over-activity and trouble paying attention can show up earlier, researchers said, and ADHD often persists into adolescence or even adulthood.
Paediatricians should also look out for learning disabilities, anxiety and other issues that can go hand-in-hand with ADHD. And, they should tailor treatment with behaviour therapy and medication based on kids’ age and severity of symptoms, says a statement published in Paediatrics. (here)
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between six and nine percent of kids and teens have ADHD, with rates higher in adolescents than younger kids.
“I’m glad to see the guidelines now recognize ADHD can occur both in younger children and older adolescents as well,” said Aude Henin, from Massachusetts General Hospital’s Child Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy Program. “I think those are things that have been ignored in the past.”

Thirty years ago we took our children to Disney World. As we rode around on the train to see animals at Animal Kingdom a child in front of us threw a small stuffed toy off the train. The parents began telling the child it wasn’t his faught and he had every right to scream, cry and yell out uncontrollably. These are the the parents that allow this behavior to manifest its self in most cases. However, there are some real problems with nuerons in brain function that needs to be addressed. But, IMO far too many are being wrongly medicated for just bad behaviors brought on by boredom and lack of parental attention.
Typical pandering to crappy parents with NMF (Not My Fault) Syndrome who want to blame anyone but themselves for their child’s awful behavior and their lack of effective parenting. Their ‘cure’ for this highly over-diagnosed disease is to give young kids amphetamines (Adderal, one of the most common ADD meds, is nothing but pharmaceutical meth) which have been proven over long term use to vastly reduce mental well being and lead eventually to depression and psychosis.
