ADHD remains one of the most widely misunderstood neurodevelopmental disorders, with debates surrounding its diagnosis, causes, and treatment continuing to evolve. The Science of ADHD provides a clear, balanced, and up-to-date exploration of this complex condition.

The fully revised second edition reflects the latest advancements in the field, including updated diagnostic criteria and a nuanced discussion of ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder. New and expanded chapters address the impact of non-pharmacological treatments, ADHD's association with addiction, ongoing challenges in ADHD research, the broader implications of neurodiversity, and more. Throughout this edition, engaging discussions of genetics, neuroscience, and psychology enable readers to develop a deeper understanding of ADHD and its implications.
