Sažetak
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by attention deficits,
excessive motor activity, and impulsivity. Diagnosis is based on a clinical interview, observation of the child’s behavior,
heteroanamnestic data, valid classifications, and various steps in the diagnostic process. This review aims to present
the current understanding of neurobiological mechanisms that contribute to the possible emergence and maintenance
of ADHD, including genetics, brain structure and function, as well as neurotransmitters. This topic is particularly
interesting due to the interplay of individual (biological and psychological) and environmental factors in ADHD, which
is demonstrated in this review. In the treatment of ADHD, we use psychosocial interventions, as well as other treatment
methods, which include pharmacological treatment.
