[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorders in children and adolescents: diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines].

The treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) requires extensive diagnosis. Check lists and questionnaires may be helpful. Comorbidities are common and must be clarified. ADHD should be treated over a longer period of time. A multimodal treatment concept is recommended in which the administration of psychostimulants is combined with educational and behavioural therapeutic measures.
