Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting around 5% of school-aged children. However, in the UK, the majority of children with ADHD remain undiagnosed. This article reviews the epidemiology of ADHD in terms of its prevalence, correlates, recognition and outcomes with regard to community and clinical samples.
