Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder: making a case for multidisciplinary management.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is characterized by a cluster of age-inappropriate behavioral abnormalities comprising inattentivity, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The definition is controversial and without an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, it seems prudent that a multidisciplinary treatment protocol should begin with non-drug psychological and behavioral strategies plus nutritional intervention.
