Improving access and outcomes for children with ADHD.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity as well as difficulties with social interaction, learning, and sometimes sleep. A variety of symptoms is possible, and three ADHD presentations have been defined. Owing to healthcare workforce shortages, particularly in mental health care, it is critical for family NPs and other primary care providers to possess accurate understanding of the disorder and its symptomatology, evaluation, diagnosis, and management in children and adolescents.
