The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) have made available updated draft Australian Guidelines on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Due to an ongoing investigation in the US, the Council of the NHMRC has not been able to ratify the guidelines as yet, but the draft is accessible.
More than 350,000 Australian children and adolescents are estimated to have ADHD and this draft updates the guidelines published in 2005 which have now been withdrawn. The NHMRC site linked to above also contains other useful information to assist parents and medical professionals in treating and recognising ADHD, including a systematic literature review.
