    Abstract:
    The attention deficit disorder is a clinical syndrome manifested by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity beginning before age seven and persisting for at least six months. The family physician plays a key role in consolidating the observations of parents and teachers with the findings on medical evaluation. The physician also initiates the comprehensive treatment program with counseling and stimulant medication, and coordinates the use of special education, mental health and other resources as needed.
