Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder characterized by hyperactivity and a very short, scattered attention span. It usually manifests before the age of seven, and is diagnosed nearly four times as often in boys as in girls, with an estimated 3% of people worldwide diagnosable as sufferers.

The causes of ADHD are not exactly known, but there are suspected and identified culprits from every aspect of life. Genetics, environment, diet, behaviour, emotions, social definitions, family dysfunction, and human evolution have all been posited as possible or contributing causes. Odds are good that ADHD results from the coincidence of any number of its suspected causes in sufficient severity.

There is a great need for ADHD treatment so that children and adults can live normal and healthy lives. STRATTERA (atomoxetine) is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, one of the few non-stimulant medications indicated in the treatment of ADHD. It has a method of action common to all norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors: it prevents norepinephrine and epinephrine from being absorbed by their usual receptors, keeping them in the bloodstream longer and amplifying their effects.
