Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents has long been a crucial health and social topic. Worldwide, 5-10% of children and adolescents experience ADHD. If untreated, ADHD severely influences their educational attainments and their potential to live fulfilling and productive lives. Children and adolescents with ADHD face major challenges with stigma, isolation, and discrimination, as well as lack of access to health care and education facilities, in violation of their fundamental human rights. This Special Issue is open to researchers to submit empirical studies associated with ADHD in children and adolescents, especially the diagnosis, etiology, pharmacological and psychological treatment, outcomes, parenting, stigma, and intervention programs for improving well-being. The studies on ADHD in children and adolescents can provide knowledge to diminish the scientific gaps in research in the 21st century.
