Meeting criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires having multiple symptoms of inattention (e.g., persistent problems with sustained attention, organization, memory, following instructions), hyperactivity–impulsiveness (e.g., persistent difficulties with remaining still, waiting for a turn, interrupting others), or both for at least 6 months in at least two settings (e.g., home and school) to the point where they impair the child's ability to perform at school or get along at home. 2. The DSM–5 requires that symptoms of ADHD be present before the age of 12 in order to meet the criteria for this disorder. 3. Brain imaging studies suggest that those with ADHD have smaller brain volumes as well as structural and functional abnormalities in frontosubcortical networks associated with attention and behavioural inhibition. 4.
