This document provides guidance to health professionals to appropriately assess, diagnose and manage ADHD symptoms in children and young people. The aim of the document is to provide clarity to clinicians on one of the most controversial areas in ADHD - the use of medication, in particular stimulants, in managing children and adolescents with ADHD symptoms. The CPPs (Clinical Practice Points) also discuss psychological and educational strategies as other management options for some children/adolescents.
