I still remember the first time I treated a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Back then, around two decades ago, the condition was considered rare and GPs seldom came across it. But the moment I did, the symptoms were unmistakable. The boy, no more than 11 years old, frankly, was a nightmare.
He wouldn’t sit still in school, he wouldn’t sleep, and he was disruptive at home. I can vividly recall his mother’s stress. She worried he would never live a normal life – get a degree, hold down a job or learn to drive.
