Do you capitalize attention hyperactivity deficit disorder?

In: ADD-ADHD [Edit categories]

Answer:

Where I work it depends on the context. Not sure if it's an actual grammar/style rule. We capitalize it if it's a specific diagnosis but not as a general term. Also it should be written as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (according to the DSM-IV-TR).
