For 70% to 80% of children with a diagnosis of ADHD, stimulant tratment results in successful improvement of the core ADHD symptoms. However, children with ADHD have high level of comorbidity and may respond differently from children with ADHD without comorbidity. Therefore they may need specific treatment plan.

Our main objective is to increase the uniformity of treatment and improve the clinical outcomes of children with comorbid ADHD.
