Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

In my extensive experience as a psychiatrist specializing in mental health disorders, particularly in Lahore, I’ve encountered numerous cases of childhood behavioral challenges.

Despite their apparent similarities in disruptive behaviors, it’s crucial to discern their unique characteristics, diagnostic procedures, and treatment modalities. Allow me to provide insight into these differentiating aspects.
