USA: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children
Treatment can lead to sustained improvement – report
The National Institute of Mental Health [NIH] reports that most children treated for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD] showed sustained improvement after three years in a major follow–up study. Yet, increased risk for behavioural problems, such as delinquency and substance use, remained higher than normal.
The study monitored children who had participated in the Multimodal Treatment study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
The report has been published in the August 2007 edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
