The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based conclusions about the disorder
scientific article
Nearly two decades ago, an international team of scientists published the first International Consensus Statement on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Barkley, 2002). They sought to present the wealth of scientific data attesting to the validity of ADHD as a mental disorder and to correct misconceptions about the disorder that stigmatized affected people, reduced the credibility of health care providers, and prevented or delayed treatment of individuals challenged by the disorder (DosReis et al., 2010; Horton-Salway, 2013; McLeod et al., 2007; Mueller et al., 2012).
This paper updates the International Consensus Statement by cataloging important scientific discoveries from the last 20 years. We do not intend to present an encyclopedia of ADHD or guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. The latter can be found in the references cited. Our aim is to provide current and accurate information about ADHD supported by a substantial and rigorous body of evidence. © World ADHD Federation
