Children: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Comparing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to Severely Impairing Irritability: Investigations of Brain Function

Enrolling locally from the Washington, D.C. metro region

This observational research study seeks to learn about the differences between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and severely impairing irritability in children. Researchers will describe the moods and behaviors of children and investigate brain function and irritability. Children with ADHD are being invited to participate as a comparison group in a larger research protocol of children with severe irritability.
