Will someone help me understand barkley's definition of adhd please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ADHD: Russell barkley, phd is a prominent researcher in the area of adhd. As such, he has expanded a description of the core symptoms of adhd/add from inattention/hyperactivity and impulsivity to probably secondary but also important effects on working memory, regulation of emotions and "executive functions" (planning, goals, problem solving, etc). See www.Russellbarkely.Org/factsheets/adhd-facts.
