- Title
ADHD: A Survey of Psychiatric and Paediatric Practice.
- Authors
Salmon, Gill; Kemp, Alison
- Abstract
Most child and adolescent psychiatrists and community paediatricians have a heavy commitment to the assessment and management of children with ADHD. The paediatric approach is heavily biased toward clinical investigation and psychostimulant treatment. Child and adolescent psychiatrists prioritise mental health assessment and have access to a wider range of treatment options. This survey clearly suggests the need for joint working between the two disciplines to provide a holistic approach to the condition to exclude and manage coexisting mental health, physical and developmental problems.
