Dear Colleagues,
Surgeon General David Satcher, MD, PhD, recently released a National Action Agenda for Children's Mental Health. According to this report, 1 in 10 children and adolescents in the U.S. suffer from mental illness severe enough to cause some level of impairment. Yet, it is estimated that fewer than half of these children receives needed treatment. Today's FPN focuses on ADHD, the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood.

Diagnosis and Evaluation of the Child With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

3. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS
The Child with ADHD: Using the AAP Clinical Practice Guideline
Primary care clinicians frequently are asked by parents and teachers
to evaluate a child for ADHD; early recognition, assessment and
management of this condition can redirect the educational and
psychosocial development of most children with ADHD.
4. EMPOWERING PARENTS
ADHD: Disorder or Difference?
What a difference one word can make. Suppose we changed the last D in ADHD from "disorder" to "difference." We could then say that a child with ADHD has some significant differences in his cognitive ability, emotional sensitivity and activity level when compared to other children.
