Primary care physicians are on the front lines for diagnosing and prescribing to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children. In this video, Dr. David Pickar and Dr. Lillian M. Beard discuss what primary care physicians should know to feel confident when diagnosing and treating ADHD.

“[The first time] you see a patient with ADHD respond to stimulants, you see it is lifesaving … [the result] takes your breath away,” Dr. Pickar says.
