Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this research study is to measure what percentage of women who suspect they have symptoms of ADHD will go on to be diagnosed with ADHD using accepted practice standards. The study will also evaluate the influence education on the genetics of ADHD has on a woman in her deciding to receive behavioral health treatment for ADHD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects approximately 10-12% of school-aged children in the United States, making it one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children. It is characterized as inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, which has persisted for at least 6 months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level (DSM-IV-TR). ADHD is a non-fluctuating illness unlike many other psychiatric co-morbid conditions.
