Excerpt
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most frequently occurring and researched psychiatric disorder of childhood and accounts for the majority of referrals to child and adolescent psychiatry services. ADHD persists into adulthood in approximately 40%–60% of cases and is frequently comorbid with other conditions. In children, the most frequent comorbid conditions are oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD); in adults, mood and anxiety disorders are the most common, although risk for other conditions such as substance use disorders is also elevated.
