All children can be difficult at times. But if your child finds it hard to concentrate, to sit still or to think before acting most of the time, he or she may have a condition called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This behaviour tends to cause severe problems at home and at school. But there are treatments that can help.

We've brought together the best research about ADHD and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for your child.
