Abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, often associated with other psychiatric comorbidities, functional impairments, and poor long-term outcomes. The objective of this selected review is to describe current advances and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. The disorder is associated with neurobiological underpinnings and is highly heterogeneous in various aspects, such as symptom profiles, cognitive impairments, and neurobiological and genetic… Show more

“…Additionally, research showed that 10-40% of the variance inheritance of ADHD may be caused due to the environment [60] highlighting the interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors. Due to these complex interactions it is believed that ADHD can be manifested with highly heterogenous symptoms depending on the exact pathway and etiology involved [61].…”
