We've learned a lot about ADHD since the last diagnosis and treatment standards were released by the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). That's why the organization has just released brand new guidelines for recognizing, diagnosing and treating ADHD. As well as offering better analysis of the signs and symptoms of ADHD, the new principles recommend a multi-faceted approach to treatment, offering guidelines for exercise, lifestyle, family and teacher involvement as well as medication.

Another advantage offered by ADDA's new ADHD principles is the clarification they provide regarding the differences between ADD and ADHD. If you're still confused about the differences between the two closely related conditions, check out this ADD/ADHD fact sheet.
