Highlights
Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent neurodevelopmental disorder with childhood onset, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)
Clinical assessment based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria is the gold standard for the diagnosis (Haavik, Halmoy, Lundervold, & Fasmer, 2010), but short screeners or symptom rating scales provide a quick and easy way of obtaining standardized information to select patients for further examination
Experienced clinical psychologists and psychiatrists made the diagnostic assessment in routine practice in outpatient clinics, according to the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10; World Health Organization (WHO), 1992), with allowances for the subtypes described in the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000)
Summary
Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent neurodevelopmental disorder with childhood onset, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). ADHD has a prevalence of about 5% in childhood (Polanczyk, de Lima, Horta, Biederman, & Rohde, 2007), with about half persisting into adulthood (Faraone et al, 2015). Fayyad et al (2017) found an overall prevalence of 2.8% of DSM-IV adult ADHD across a range of nations, spanning from 1.4% in lower income countries to 3.6% in higher income countries. Adult ADHD is associated with for example lower educational achievement and increased rates of incarcerations, unemployment and illicit drug use (Faraone et al, 2015). Clinical assessment based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria is the gold standard for the diagnosis (Haavik, Halmoy, Lundervold, & Fasmer, 2010), but short screeners or symptom rating scales provide a quick and easy way of obtaining standardized information to select patients for further examination
