Abstract

The ADHD diagnosis is discussed in terms of genetic influences, DSM-IV versus DSM5 changes and criticisms, gender differences, and comorbidity. Important comorbidities are discussed. Issues in relation to etiology, boundaries with normal behaviour, and with comorbid conditions, as well as when to treat with medication remain a challenge for clinicians and researchers.
