The foreword focuses on the three main critical questions within the political debate: (1) Is ADHD a psychiatric disorder? (2) Is there over-diagnosis and overtreatment of ADHD? (3) Are psychostimulants dangerous drugs? After discussing the problems within the context of general scientific and merely European political context, the authors conclude with a positive outlook comprising (1) step-up of research in ADHD, (2) exercised control over diagnosis and treatment, (3) the need for training and continuous personal development for doctors, and (4) Improvement of information to teachers and parents. The presented supplement on "ADHD -- beyond core symptoms. Not only a European perspective" underlines this perspective and reflects a broad spectrum of ADHD-related activities currently underway in Europe while having the worldwide development of the field in mind.
（1）注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种精神疾病吗？（2）ADHD是否存在过度诊断和过度治疗的情况？（3）精神兴奋剂是危险药物吗？在一般科学背景以及仅欧洲政治背景下讨论这些问题之后，作者们以积极的展望得出结论，包括（1）加强对ADHD的研究，（2）对诊断和治疗加以控制，（3）医生需要培训和持续的个人发展，以及（4）改善向教师和家长提供的信息。所呈现的关于“ADHD——超越核心症状。不仅仅是欧洲视角”的增刊强调了这一观点，并反映了目前在欧洲正在进行的广泛的ADHD相关活动，同时也考虑到了该领域的全球发展情况。
