ADHD assessment in children: The gut brain access
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent condition affecting many children, characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Leading consultant paediatric gastroenterologist Dr Benjamim Hope explores how the gut-brain axis—a complex communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain—may influence ADHD symptoms and what this means for assessment and management in children.
