Abstract
Abstract: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity as well as difficulties with social interaction, learning, and sometimes sleep. A variety of symptoms is possible, and three ADHD presentations have been defined. Owing to healthcare workforce shortages, particularly in mental health care, it is critical for family NPs and other primary care providers to possess accurate understanding of the disorder and its symptomatology, evaluation, diagnosis, and management in children and adolescents. In today's landscape, newer extended-release and long-acting stimulants support better medication administration and adherence, as well as maintain more consistent levels in the body throughout the day, for pediatric patients. This article aims to keep family NPs up to date in the latest in ADHD diagnosis and management to reduce patient barriers to care; it also provides NPs with critical information to convey to pediatric patients, their families, and their teachers during this back-to-school season.
