TL;DR
It would not be appropriate to develop ADHD–services where clinicians would only have expertise in ADHD as such, and anyone working with children, adolescents and adults with ADHD would need to have training in general neuropsychiatry.
Abstract
It would not be appropriate to develop ADHD-services where clinicians would only have expertise in ADHD as such. Anyone working with children, adolescents and adults with ADHD would need to have training in general neuropsychiatry. Further research in this field is urgently needed.
