摘要
The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescence and adulthood has just recently been considered. The expression of main symptoms changes as the individual matures. Adults typically display attention deficits, restlessness, impulsivity, organizational deficits, and poor affect regulation. Research indicates a prevalence of 1-2.5%. Corresponding to ADHD in children, high rates of comorbidity and affected psychosocial functioning are reported. It is recommended to use clinical interviews to find out about actual and former symptoms as well as questionnaires for diagnosis. However, it is critical to note that obligatory diagnostic criteria are still lacking. To ascertain the beginning of the disorder, objective documentation from childhood must be considered. Stimulants accompanied by psychotherapy are thought to be the most effective treatment. Further research is urgently needed on therapeutic methods and their combinations with psychotropic drugs.
