Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common reasons for referral to child and adolescent mental health service. It is also one of the most researched disorders in child and adolescent psychiatry. It can be challenging for practitioners to keep up to date with the continuously increasing body of research on ADHD.

The masterclass will cover the evidence-base (mainly relying on meta-analyses) and the practical clinical aspects related to the diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, differential diagnoses, comorbidities, aetiology, neuroscience and the pharmacological as well as non-pharmacological management of ADHD.
