Abstract
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that persists into adulthood in about one-half of all patients. Although the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fifth edition diagnostic formulation limits ADHD symptoms to those of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, there has been a substantial amount of research supporting symptoms of emotional dysregulation (ED) as being either a part of the ADHD syndrome or co-traveling symptoms. This article reviews the description of emotional dysregulation, how emotional dysregulation fits in the diagnostic schemata of ADHD, methods of assessment of emotional dysregulation, and treatment of emotional dysregulation.
