Treating a child or adolescent with ADHD is especially challenging
when hyperactivity and inattention are accompanied by many other
symptoms. It is not uncommon to encounter such complex ADHD cases as
the child who also presents with aggression or antisocial behavior,
the teen who has made a suicide attempt, or the hyperactive child
with mental retardation. Integrating the latest biomedical and
psychosocial knowledge, this practice-oriented volume is designed to
help clinicians meet the needs of these tough-to-treat clients. The
authors review the evaluation and treatment of ADHD with major
comorbidities including mood and anxiety disorders, conduct
disorders, learning disorders, medical illnesses, and severe
developmental disorders. Distinguishing clinical features of each
condition are delineated, current psychopharmacological treatments
are described, and effective approaches are presented for managing
behavioral problems in the home, school, and playground. Filled with
illustrative case examples that reflect the authors' extensive
clinical experience, the book provides thoughtful coverage of knotty
diagnostic and treatment issues.
