title: The practical aspects of diagnosing and managing children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
abstract: AD/HD is a behaviorally defined disorder with specific behavioral criteria. The most recent definitions decrease heterogeneity by defining subtypes although the current treatments tend to be more generic. The main well-established treatments are stimulant medication and behavior modification, which are most effective when used together.
