Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to send a manuscript to this Special Issue focused on the Research status of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
For all ages, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent disorders in the world. However, its diagnosis still depends on the expertise of the observer since we lack biomarkers with sufficient diagnostic capacities. Thus, the introduction of new technologies could help diagnostically. On the other hand, ADHD is a disorder with high comorbidity, both medical and psychiatric, a factor which has been only partially studied. Likewise, the correct identification of ADHD in adulthood is the exception, which is concerning, since its prevalence in this age group is 2.5%. Finally, multimodal treatment is still insufficient, so the integration of new therapeutic strategies, such as the use of serious video games and/or food supplements, and the introduction of new drugs represent an opportunity to improve the treatment, evolution and prognosis of ADHD.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an update on the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
Dr. Hilario Blasco-Fontecilla
Guest Editor
