Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. ADHD may persist into adulthood. The core symptoms are attention-deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Relevant for the disorder: the noradrenergic transmitter system
