)
is a developmental disorder,
worldwide affecting about 5% of people under 18 years of age

Often, t

daily lives,
due to their symptoms of

, hyperactiv
ity
and impulsiv
ity
. These symptoms often persist into adulthood
[2]

Numerous studies have
found that adolescents with ADHD are more likely than adolescents without ADHD to have
behavioral problems. Conduct disorder

is one such behavioral problem, occurring in
about 30% to 50% of adolescents with ADHD
