    EL TDAH es un trastorno complejo que afecta fundamentalmente a un grupo de edad que genera preocupación y alarma social. Algunas creencias como la inexistencia del trastorno, la peligrosidad de los posibles tratamientos y sus consecuencias no están basados en evidencias demostrables y se corresponden con mitos acerca del mismo. Un adecuado conocimiento del TADH y su tratamiento por parte de los profesionales y familiares implicados, puede permitir un tratamiento más efectivo y centrado en el paciente.

    ADHD is a complex disorder. It affects people in an age rank that may result in social alarm. Some beliefs such as the inexistence of the disorder, the toxicity of the treatment and adverse outcomes are not completely based in empiric evidence and appear to be false myths. A proper knowledge on ADHD and its treatment may help clinicians and families to achieve a more effective and patient centred treatment.
