Abstract
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is defined as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactive and impulsive behaviour that is more frequent and severe than is typically seen in a child at a given developmental stage. It appears in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children and adolescents with ADHD face significant problems in behavioural control, interpersonal relationships, academic performance and personal issues.1, 2 They have worse health-related quality of life scores than the typically developing groups varying from a small to
moderate degree in physical domains and a large degree in psychosocial domains.3 Therefore, early recognition, assessment and management of this condition is very important in helping them and their parents to improve the educational and psychosocial difficulties.
