Extract

The presentation of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescence is often complex, but clinicians will attest multiple and complex comorbid conditions in adolescence are by no means unusual. Given that this is often the typical presentation, this article will describe a case to illustrate the multiple pathways to treatment of an adolescent with myriad distinct but interacting issues. Although all clinicians attempt to practice evidence-based medicine, the evidence is often limited to circumscribed disorders, and management and sequencing of treatment of adolescents with a combination of different conditions has not be adequately researched.
