Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. Complex ADHD in children is relatively unique. These cases differ from typical ADHD cases in various ways, such as the atypical age at which symptoms appear or the presence of complex coexisting conditions. Additionally, the symptoms and functional impairment experienced by children with complex ADHD tend to be more severe.Therefore, these children require comprehensive interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment, as well as long-term standardized follow-up and chronic disease management.

Key words
