ABSTRACT

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its corresponding executive dysfunction and motivational deficits are associated with some of the most wide-ranging and severe difficulties that are seen among individuals seeking outpatient psychological and/or psychiatric treatment. There is a range of severity that includes relatively mild and limited symptoms, so not everyone who receives a diagnosis of ADHD should immediately think the situation is a dire one (although even mild ADHD may require special attention and effort to manage).
