http://www.adhd-report.comADHD-Report.com: The concerned parents' guide to childrens' attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD)
The U.S. Surgeon General, the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), among others, all recognize ADHD as a valid disorder. While some of these organizations have issued guidelines for evaluation and management of the disorder for their membership, this is the first consensus statement issued by an independent consortium of leading scientists concerning the status of the disorder. Among scientists who have devoted years, if not entire careers, to the study of this disorder there is no controversy regarding its existence. |

The topics of the congress include all the aspects of neurobiological, psychological, and social correlates of ADHD, transcultural and gender influences as well as age dependent co-morbidity. By bringing together clinical psychiatrists, psychotherapists, neuroscientists and allied health care professionals, the Congress promotes exchange of basic and clinical science ideas in an effort to improve outcomes for patients. |
