Understanding ADHD - What to look for

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a well-established medical condition -- but how much do you know about what to look for?

Here, Dr Jeremy Turk, a specialist in developmental disorders, sets out the key symptoms of ADHD and uncovers some of the common misconceptions about what causes it. For example, we now know that there is a strong genetic basis for the condition.

As awareness and understanding of ADHD continues to improve, the stigma that at one time was attached to the condition is disappearing.

This video has been produced by Janssen to raise awareness about ADHD and improve understanding of the condition. It was recorded as part of as part of a campaign to generate discussion about ADHD and provide an environment of knowledge sharing among parents, teachers, HCPs and support groups. Please help raise awareness about ADHD by sending a link to your contacts.
