Mumble Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Very interesting - ADHD isn't something I know a huge amount about. Can I ask, how is ADHD actually categorised - on one page of this presentation it is stated as a psychiatric disorder and also as a neurological disorder - is it one or both of these or something else?
