Appelhans &Miguel Alonso-Alonso # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) pharmacological treatment, exercise, and cognitive behavior has been associated with increased risk for obesity and therapy. ADHD is a barrier to the clinical management of obesity treatment failure. The present paper discusses how obesity and more research is needed to further understand features of ADHD, including inattention, reward sensitivity, the link between ADHD and obesity. Effective treatment and impulsivity, may impact obesity risk and have implica- approaches are needed given the significant difficulty tions for the management of obesity. In addition, we review patients with ADHD encounter in their attempts to regulate emerging research on how obesity may contribute to brain their weight in the context of an obesogenic environment.
