Core Tip	The clinical reliability of large language models (LLMs) in addressing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related questions from patients and caregivers has not been sufficiently characterized. This study systematically evaluates the accuracy and reproducibility of ChatGPT (GPT-4o) across clinically relevant domains in child and adolescent psychiatry. The findings indicate stronger and more consistent performance in basic informational and diagnostic domains, whereas greater variability was observed in clinically sensitive areas such as treatment, medication use, and long-term outcomes. These results highlight both the potential utility and the limitations of LLM-based tools in ADHD-related information-seeking, emphasizing the need for cautious, developmentally informed interpretation in higher-risk clinical contexts.
