Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in childhood and can significantly affect a child’s personal and social development and academic achievement.

The review highlights evidence that favors the energetic model and points to an unstable arousal as a potential pathogenetic factor in ADHD. |
